convict. so that dynamic that personality interaction, he s going to be very interesting to see how this jury gels or doesn t all right, very big week ahead for the former president for these 12 jurors for the six alternates and really for the country, it s the first time richard gabriel. thank you so much for your insights in your time this evening thank you. we ll be having special coverage from the start of opening statements on monday with a live stream starting at 9:00 a.m. on cnn, as well as on macs on cnn or cnn on max session. say we have new reporting tonight that the state department is close to announcing sanctions for a group of idf soldiers accused of human rights abuses and the occupied west bank. this comes as israeli soldiers say that they ve engaged terrorists at a refugee camp in the west bank will have the details ahead and the cnn newsroom it with a new
sources telling cnn, a new york appeals court is now set to hear arguments in just a few minutes over donald trump s motion to change the venue in this hush money trial that hearing is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. last week, trump asked the appeals court to stop the trial so they could argue over a change of venue saying he couldn t get a fair trial in manhattan and appellate judge denied that motion. now, the full panel is hearing trump s challenge and all of it, of course happening as the trial goes on in a full jury has been empaneled in that new york city courtroom. i want to talk more about the trump trial with former us attorney michael moore and jury consultant and president of decision analysis, richard gabriel great to see both of you here former president trump just posted on social media saying, judge merchan is quote, railroading him and taking away his constitutional right to free speech because of the gag order michael, this doesn t violate the gag order, but could it
that would help american operations in the region. some 14 billion that would by weapons for ukraine, most of which are made here in the, so the money would be spent here and then that loan that you mentioned is roughly $10 billion there s you were obviously upset that there s a provision in there that you wanted to make it so that the president wouldn t be able to just make that a cancel the debt. essentially. but there is 26 million that goes to oversight to accounting for all the money that s being spent in ukraine, which is something that folks that have opposed it i said before, might want to see. is that not worth it in your eyes to keep vladimir putin in check without actually putting american troops at risk? we don t have any real clear path to victory. and of that money that you mentioned the $23 i believe that s going to go 23 billion excuse me. that s going to go to our war profiteers. they, you know what
favor. so now there s panel of appeals court judges will be essentially saying, well, look, lawyers didn t you have a chance to find out, hadn t you? didn t you have a chance to use your strikes, didn t have a chance to talk to these perspective jurors. so tell me why you think this is going to be impact his right to a fair trial. look at the jury makeup here. so i just have a hard time believing that there s gonna be any change at all. this hearing was scheduled before the jury selection took place, and obviously this has gone at a quicker pace than we thought to get a fully empaneled jury. so it may have had more of a byte, had the jury selection process been mired up and conflict and controversy, but it hasn t. and so they ve got a full jury in the box ready to go and i just don t think he s going to have a very welcoming audience on this type of argument at this stage. least in front of the appellate court. and richard, the former president, hasn t posted directly about jur
you or do you think that concerns are warranted about jury tampering or intimidation, that sort of thing. i think it s a big concern. i mean, these jurors have a tremendous amount of pressure. there s just trying to do their job. we already had a juror yesterday who said that she s been she d been identified and all of a sudden said, i really can t do this. so the judge is done a good job of trying to make these jurors anonymous. he s he s actually monitor the press to be careful not to give physical descriptions of the jurors. so this puts that at risk and it puts the whole process at risk. so it does endanger the jurors. it does in danger. i think the process and i think there s a lot of concern that this could put the trial at risk. all right. michael moore i m richard gabriel. we re going to leave it there, but thanks so much for giving us context analysis. they re good to see you both thank you. israel retaliates against iran as us officials say they did
