Right now on cnn this morning Special Counsel, robert hurs set to testify before congress after releasing an explosive report about President Bidens handling of classified documents and alleged cognitive decline plus a developing story out of haiti, the embattled Prime Minister resigning amid rising gang attacks against the government and former President Trumps justin, hes open to cutting Social Security and medicare after vowing repeatedly, he would never do it all, right 05 00 a. M. Here in washington. A live look at capitol hill, lot of action up there today. Good morning to all of you. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us a First Special counsel, robert hur, is set to testify in a matter of hours before the republican led House Judiciary Committee hur investigated President Bidens handling of classified documents last month. He concluded the president did ms handle the material per however, chose not to prosecute still, it was his assessment of bidens mental sharpness that caused political shockwaves. Hurs report described biden as a sympathetic, wellmeaning elderly man with a poor memory, be claimed that the president s condition would make it hard to get a conviction he, also called Into Question the president s memory noting that during an interview in october, President Biden didnt remember exactly when his son beau died that was something that the president took issue with. I know theres some attention paid to some language and report about my recollection of events. Theres even reference that i dont remember when my son died how in the hell dare he raise that . I dont need anyone. I dont need anyone to remind me when he passed away. Passed away so this hearing is happening as trump and biden are each set to basically lock up their respective nominations with several States Holding primaries today and we could see another Campaign Issue back in the spotlight. Trump dropped this bombshell in an interview yesterday with cnbc so first of all, there is a lot you can do in terms of entitlements, in terms of cutting and in terms of also is assessed and the bad management of its adelman is tremendous bad management of Entitlements Republicans will cut Social Security, medicare to give more tax cuts for the wealthy even this morning, donald trump said, cuts us a security, medicare are on the table again all right. Joining me now to discuss semaphores. Shelby talcott. Shelby. Good morning. Nice to see you. Lets start with what were expecting on capitol hill today because Robert Hur Robert Hur in an interesting twist, is actually going to be testifying as a private citizen. He officially no longer works for the Justice Department. But what do you anticipate in terms of the testimony that hes going to offer and the direction that republicans in particular going to try to go here. Well, i think obviously republicans are going to hone in on the main thing that a lot of us took away from that report, which is you just noted was the each topic. And this has become i think a really big General Election argument because of this report. Before the report, there were always questions about bidens age. There are questions about Donald Trumps age, but it was less of a sort of mainstream issue compared to what we we are now seeing. And so i anticipate that thats going to be one of the main focal points during this conversation. How do you anticipate democrats are going to try to mount a defense of the president in this hearing. Well, weve already seen bidens campaign and bidens allies mount the defense of sure, hes old but he is certainly not incompetent. We saw it in his ad that they recently released earlier this week. So i anticipate that thats going to be the major defense is acknowledging his age, but arguing that listen, he has been running the country for the past four years. He knows what hes doing. If you talk to people close to him they always say that he is competent behind closed doors, that he is able to make the decisions. And thats going to really i think be highlighted in the coming days and weeks and months as this continues to be a topic of conversation, for sure. So one the other things for the president today is that its expected there are a couple of primaries. Voters will be at the polls. It basically, its going to confirm what we already know that these two guys are going to be the choices that americans have in november. But it should give them each respective at number of delegates to officially be able to clinch the nomination is this. How do you see . This milestone . I mean, this is one of the shortest primary campaigns ive covered since i started doing this its its really odd, quite frankly, right . Because we dont anticipate already being in General Election mode. And even though they havent technically clenched we are essentially in General Election mode. I mean, youve seen the shift in terms of messaging from both biden and trump in the past . Few weeks, but i still do think that today is going to be important it might be a little bit more symbolic, but im also going to be looking at a that uncommitted protest vote that we talked about a few weeks ago. Does that continue to Gain Momentum . That could mean trouble for joe biden down the line as he tries to get that leftwing back into his good graces. The other thing im looking for Is Georgia Black voters. How do these candidates perform in georgia, which is clearly a key state for both of them. They were both there in the past few days. And so theres still important things to take away from today, i think. You. Georgia specifically, youre looking for whether theres black turnout in the republican primary mean how, how are you viewing that . Because we have seen these numbers change in a way thats potentially very dramatic for democrats in particular. Yeah, i think its important for both though, because i think joe biden has to show that he can still garner that sect of the base, which hes struggling but i also think donald trump performed relatively well in that state in 2020. And so thats important for him to and its also important because hes been trying to garner that black vote. Hes not just leaving it up to chance that theyre not going to turn out for joe biden Donald Trumps campaign also wants that voter base. And so i think its equally important to see how, how both sides, how that voter base turns out for each of them. Briefly, lets touch on what trump said. I mean, hes sort of blew through it a little bit and later tried to clean it up and say, while i was talking about managing waste and Social Security and medicare. But of course did not take the Biden Campaign very long to say, hey, look, donald trump said he is going to cut your Social Security. Yeah, this has been a topic that the Biden Campaign has really wanted to hone in on for a while. Now, i remember several months ago during the republican primary the Biden Campaign was focusing on all of these other candidates, ron desantis, nikki haley, when it comes to do wanting to prioritize their past support for Privatizing Medicare and Social Security, wanting Entitlement Cuts so this has been a topic that the Biden Campaign thinks that they can win on. And so as soon as donald trump said it, regardless of what his campaigns that afterwards, they saw an opportunity to make this a mainstream topic and i anticipate Going Forward that this is now going to be one of the big focal points for the Biden Campaign as they seek to attack donald trump wins on things.

Joining me now from abu dhabi is Cnn International correspondent paula hancocks. Paula, good morning. This seems to just basically represent a us assessment at that theres a crisis of confidence in netanyahus leadership. Has there been any reaction to this from other middle eastern countries, from other governments . Well see not specifically to this Intelligence Report itself, but its certainly something that is shared among many people in other countries in this region, there is no level when it comes to the israeli Prime Minister. There have been countless and consistent calls for a ceasefire in gaza. And Benjamin Netanyahu is head of the government that is carrying out that bombardment of gaza, for example, queen Rania Of Jordan spoke to our Christiane Amanpour and said gaza is a Quote A Slow Motion mass murder of children. Now this is something that is felt by many in the region. Queen rania, there really vocalizing the perception and of course, as head of if the government and as the demand that is really pushed for this war to continue Benjamin Netanyahu would be getting that blame. Now, certainly within israel as well, he has been blamed for what having predicted the october 7 attack, keys accused of not having done enough to be able to protect people during that attack can also, there are questions as to why but he is doing now why he is continuing in this way and why he hasnt managed to get all of the israeli hostages back from hamas and other groups in gaza. Really is under attack from a number of different directions. Not leads to cause with the us President Joe Biden as well. Kasie all right. Paula hancocks for us in abu dhabi. Paula, thank you.
