Food Security Issues right now, this is a country thats threatening famine threatened with famine. If something isnt done aggressively. Sean penn, thank you so much you bet. The news continues right here on cnn id front next the Breaking News, the judge rules against trump rejecting one of his key arguments in pushing think to get his classified documents case dismissed. And this comes as we are just learning that trumps first Criminal Trial in new york is now facing a delay plus mike rowe, the tv host known for taking on dirty jobs, put his next job, the rfk juniors running me. Hes going to tell you about his very converse station with rfk junior on that topic next. And Breaking News, new reporting tonight on who may be responsible for the vicious attack on Alexey NavalnysChief Of Staff the Investigative Reporter, Christo Grozev, who exposed the plot to kill navalny with novichok, joins me now with his new reporting. Lets go out front and good evening. Im erin burnett and outfront tonight, the Breaking News trump rejected the judge in the maralago classified documents case tonight, denying trump specifically, one of his key arguments pushing to dismiss the entire case a trump was there in person today, and the stakes were high. Its a setback for trump from a judge that he had pointed and has heavily praised im very proud to have appointed her, but she very smart and very strong and loves our country it is unclear when you hear that and you know, of course, he did a pointer is unclear if judge cannon will end up saving trump from a trial before the election . So many of her rulings at this case thus far have gone in his favor and she was tightlipped today about when the trial will start. It is still officially scheduled for may 20, although she has said that date is not going to happen. And today theyre came another delay that trump wanted way up north in new york. Were prosecutors are now proposing to push back the start of trumps Hush Money Trial by up to 30 days. Now remember, this Criminal Trial was first one of these that was going to happen and maybe the only one to happen in full before the election, it was set to begin in less than two weeks from tonight but now the start date is up in the air after prosecutors said they would give terms team more time to review new records from federal prosecutors. Delay after delay. And what was the Jam Pack Calendar of court dates for trump member . It was all going to be hows he going to get it all done while hes running in the primaries, while the primaries would still be going on and they, of course not ended so, so quickly but now, forget the primaries is Hush Money Trial is possibly delayed till the end of april, and that would be the first one, the federal january 6 case that is now on hold until after the Supreme Court oral arguments those already been scheduled till april 22, then you the arguments. You have the Decision Experts dont expect that went even start. So maybe the summer, his Georgia Election interference case, the Da A Fani Willis would like to start on august 5th, but that date is totally up in the air because, uh, judges deciding whether fani willis well even beyond the case or whether she gets removed and of course, the classified documents case itself, theres still no word on when that trial will begin. Trump arguing it should not even start until after the november election and these delays are potentially trumps ticket to freedom. If he wins we want delays. Obviously, im running for election we want to liaise, obviously, running for election he said it himself and we have a team of reporters standing by tonight, Katelyn Polantz is outside that courthouse in florida. Evan perez is in washington content kaitlan. Let me start with you because judge cannon already rejecting one of trumps motions. So what more can you tell us about the hearing today . That Hearing Workforce goes to be inperson air and there was no delay today from judge cannon in her decision to reject one of trumps argument but what is happening here in this case is trump is putting all of his Defense Arguments before the judge, asking her to dismiss the case. Shes looking at those those onebyone today. She looked at two of nine of those arguments that he and his codefendants are making all different arguments about why they think the case should be dismiss. And weve gotten one ruling that was in after he argued that the law was too vague around National Defense secret. She said thats not something im going to decide that might be something you may want to argue to a jury later. Or we could look at later on in argue in this case. But im not dismissing the case right now. Theres still as another argument that was made in court today about donald trump keeping the records that were removed from the white house and that he took to maralago and kept after he left the presidency so i didnt see that those were his personal records. Judge Aileen Cannon seem pretty skeptical of that, but now we wait to see exactly what she will do. Shes been very cautious its not to tip her hand in court that she did a bit today. She did such shed some skepticism toward trump and his lawyers for what they were arguing today but everyone here in this case its very clear that theres a lot of work to do. Theres a long road ahead of them. Theyve spent hours and hours in court together. Trump himself in court seems to be quite comfortable for bowl chatting with his lawyers, listening. Are reported some uproot producers in the room today even caught some people maybe nodding off as this hearing dragged off on. Well into the afternoon. But there are many many hours ahead and many rulings to comment from judge Aileen Cannon before we get to a trial and i probably get your trial or we have guessed even a known trial date. Katelyn polantz. Thank you so much. Kaitlan app that courthouse today. And i want to go now to evan perez because he is closely following the late developments i mentioned in the trump Hush Money Case that first criminal case that was scheduled to start in two weeks seven and now maybe not maybe not for another 30 days. Yeah. Least 30 days. Aaron is almost certain to the judge is going to delay this trial because now the district attorney, alvin bragg, is saying that they are okay with delaying this my at least 30 days up to 30 days. The trump team had asked for 90 days delay because they said of various discovery problems. This is the whole principle that the prosecution has a duty to turn over every all dark kim has that are relevant to trial in order for the defense to be able to be able to to to prepare for trial, of course. So what has happened according to who the district attorney, is that just yesterday, they received about 31,000 pages of documents from the Justice Department that the fans had requested. Now, these were documents. We dont know exactly what these documents are, but we know that these were documents at the defence said that they had requested from the Justice Department because as you know, the Justice Department had investigated this these allegations of the trump paying hush money ahead of the 2016 election. They had looked at it and in the Trump Administration and also looked at it in the Biden Administration and declined to prosecute. So those documents were under a subpoena from the defense and some of those documents only came in yesterday. Heres the thing. According to this filing from the district attorney, there may be more documents. I may be coming in, so the issue now becomes how long does judge delays this trial, as you pointed out, this was supposed to start in less than two weeks. And so the question is, does he go with 30 days . Does he go all the way . 90 days, which is what trump is asking or somewhere inbetween, aaron. All right. Thank you very much. Evan perez in washington and out front. Now, the former Trump White House lawyer, ty cobb so tie obviously, every development is significant in terms of the ripple effect, didnt could have. And judge cannon, Aileen Cannon, rejecting one of trumps key motions to dismiss the case today. But you think that it may still have been a good day for trump. Explain how come . Because it was a dei and delay is his whole objective. Every day counts. The fact that she denied the motion is really sort of inconsequential in my view because all nine motions to dismiss or frivolous it wouldnt take most judges a week to decisively rule on all of them. Not sure why argument is even required. The positions that trumps lawyers have taken are so absurd. But i think its good that today she came to court, prepared for change. She actually issued a ruling on one of the motions that was argued, but not the other. The other motion, frankly, is an easier motion to dismiss for the court to do. Ms and say that trumps wrong because its even more absurd than the one that she did this smiths today on the vagueness issue. So yeah. Anything that slows things down and she doesnt she just doesnt have this on a schedule that is likely to get the case resolved before the or even to trial before the election. And i think any trial date that she ultimately sets, even if she goes with the defendants, suggested trial date in august over the smith trial date, month or so earlier. The reality is that debate will move to this this case is not going to go to trial before the election, and i think everything that she he has done to date ensures that which is an incredible bottom line when you think about it. And i think the context is so important of what youre saying that those nine motions, as you see them are frivolous that she could rule on them. You dont need every time to have a hearing and a date and an argument in court. And yet that is that is whats happened Katelyn Polantz described Aileen Cannon as skeptical of the notion that trump had the power to designate records as personal and take them with him to maralago when his presidency ended. But she did say that that could be a quote, Forceful Trial Defense so its sort of unclear where she stood at least from that. Is there any merit to that argument none. And in fact, at 30,000 feet, you have to ask yourself, how would that ever get in front of the jury . The only way for that to get in front of the jury, the argument that trump head designated the documents as personal to himself is if trump testifies and trumps never going to testify, i mean, he would get eviscerated. So in the absence of any evidence that supports a legal argument, you cant make the argument the arguments have to be based on the evidence and based on the facts and based on the on the Jury Instructions relevant to the Jury Instructions. And there is no Jury Instruction that says under the under the Pra The Public Records Act that a president can designate things personal tone, self, if he so decides thats not in the law, its not in the statute, its just sort of a silly argument and it has no no legal support. I remember the day when hes i can i just have to sort of think about it and it is so the alvin bragg situation, obviously, trumps team had asked for 90 days of a delay. Alvin bragg came out and is agreeing and a sense of the delays is necessary. Write clearly, saying 30 days if they would go with 30 days, what does this mean . Well, so what it means for sure is that the case will be delayed Judge Merchant is not going to risk being reversed on forcing the trial to date earlier than both both the prosecution and defense agree as appropriate. I think its also means that the das office just as badly managed this case. These documents have been out there for two years ever since the Southern District decided not to pursue charges against the former president after having prosecuted my colon. Keep in mind that both the sec and the Southern District concluded this case required no no action. And they both passed on it. And then braggs team came up with this tortured yeah misdemeanor are attached to a federal crime theory that has no precedent that supports it. And four case that even if it ever gets to trial, is going to be inconsequential to trumps. Im just going to go to jail in this case. Its 130,000 a first offense under the new are guidelines. Thats just not a its not worthy of any jail time and itll be on appeal when he gets if he if he gets elected, itll be on appeal. During that time and it wouldnt be enforceable for four more years. So its sort of its sort of an unusual case to gum up the works and moving it back. Of Course Screws up other timelines like the potential for either the classified documents case where the january 6 case to get to trial. All right. But ty cobb, thank you very much. Always appreciate you. Your Point Of View. And as ty is wrapping here, we do have some Breaking News of a verdict which has been reached in the James Crumbley trial.

I would have been willing to do that but the courthouse closes at 04 30 and i have continually imposed on the courthouse for the sake of this trial and the other one i cannot impose on the staff for the deputies and any further.
