News network to make it into portauprince since this latest outbreak of violence, david culver joins us now from there, what is the situation like the ground . Hey, there anderson. Yeah, we landed about three hours ago. Its tens but theres also this eerie quiet that you feel as youre making your way through the streets. And we were only driving for about ten minutes or so and compared to when we were here three weeks ago, i expected to see at least some livelihood it out on the streets, some activity there were no street vendors. Folks were hurrying along and what local haitian told me its because we were getting close to curfew 06 00 and you run the risk. If you are out after curfew, not to be ticketed or cited or anything, but rather potentially two have police opened fire on you. I mean, that doesnt tell you that type of situation that this city is dealing with. And really this country has found itself and it is a crisis that they have not faced in years is unprecedented for many aspects of the city in particular. And then when you look at some of the most difficult aspects youre talking about Food Insecurity and health care. If you break down the health care, its 80 according to one local Hospital Executive of hospitals in the city that are shuttered and many of them have been ransacked. Theyve been looted. Some of the medical workers themselves have been targeted by gang members. So theyre living in fear. And then the Food Insecurity is a growing concern. You have officials who are saying that youve got about 1 Million People who are a step away from famine. Why is that . Well, we experienced it just in the logistics of trying to get to where we are now. And that is youve got roadways that are blocked by Gang Activity depending on the hour, you have to reroute and figure out another way around. It just shows you how quickly evolving this situation is anderson and youve even got communities that have started to barricade themselves even more so than we saw three weeks ago and have created essentially selfdefense brigades according to locals our carrying guns more than ive seen on the streets here, certainly for the last visit. Just to make sure that gangs dont get any closer and tried to take over territory. So who is in control in portauprince . In the capital yeah, right now, it does feel like there are almost factions within the city, if you will. I mean, it feels like there are aspects that have contain themselves and basically protected their own communities. If you will, not only physically and putting up a defense but also just kind of operating on their own neighbors looking out for neighbors, if you will. And outside of that, there are some aspects that are able to continue just with some of the state of government infant police protection. But then you can hear it on and off at times, youll have moments where gunfire will just erupt and it shows you that these are times that are just totally unpredictable. And so for that reason youve got people who are sealing themselves in their homes and who havent left in the past couple of weeks, how difficult was it to get into the country . Yeah. I mean, this was a huge challenge and the logistics of six days waiting out and the Dominican Republic trying to go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape at times, of course, but that just shows you what the Dominican Republic and haiti officials were trying to navigate to so as to get the foreign media. And now we happen to be the first ones to get into portauprince, which is significant, especially after six days of trying overland crossings than trying to book certain helicopters to make our way in. And we finally were able to land about three hours ago. And this is just a sampling of our trip on how you play it at im going to pick out the one i would look at their logistics up this trip alone and have been incredibly challenging to say the least, theyre confirming with us something that weve been working on hi your day and that is the landing zone trying to figure out where well touch down. Its a very dire situation in portauprince gunshots to hear that if it is already hearing gunshots just a few seconds into stepping out of the car after arriving here, it prints that shows you the logistics of trying to get here. And again, six days to make that one helicopter ride. And as soon as it lands, a lot of the folks who are experts trying to get out for were, of course, looking to board some of these helicopters and make their way back to the Dominican Republic. But those are the fortunate few anderson, of course, youve got the many haitians here who they dont have that option to leave. As far as a foreign presence in international aid. I mean, the un has tried to set up an air bridge, but right now it doesnt seem like thats in effect. And so youve got a city thats essentially cut off from anything that would allow it to stay alive at this point including food, 90 of the food that comes into this country is imported that says you just how significant any sort of supply chain thats cut off if you to think about the vast majority of whats consumed here has to come in from elsewhere and supply lines so just totally blocked its making it near a extremely dire situation. To recover or appreciate the report of be careful domestic politics now and the law, the former president already celebrating online about prosecutor nathan wade resigning from the Georgia Election interference case that Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney hired him to run his moos came after the trial judge this morning gave the onetime couple of choice. Either he goes or she goes fani willis in his ruling, the judge rejected Defense Arguments that theyre former relationship was a conflict of interests. However, he did say it raised a quote significant appearance of impropriety. He also took issue what he calls da williss quote, unprofessional manner, unquote during her testimony last month, this is some of it hi object two years getting record to been intrusive into peoples personal lives. Youll confuse, you think im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial, youve lied in this islam, tell you which one you lied right here. Thank you. Lied right here. No, no. This is the true judge and good he is a as. We mentioned, the former president weighed end mocking. Hello, ms willis, pronounces her first name and calling the judges ruling, quote, big stuff, even though it keeps around the case more now from cnns Nick Valencia vs of completing the judge, scott mcafee announcing today, the defense failed to prove fani willis financially benefited by hiring nathan wade as her top deputy on the Georgia Election subversion case against donald trump and others. But this finding is by no means an indication that the court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorneys testimony during the evidentiary hearing, judge scott mcafee wrote, rather it is the undersigneds opinion that georgia law does not permit the finding of an actual conflict for simply making bad choices. Mcafee also describing willis fiery testimony last month as unprofessional and intrusive into peoples personal lives. Youre confused. You think im on trial these people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trial no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. And her january remarks at an Atlanta Church as legally improper oh she on play the ways card now. But no isnt it them playing the race card . When they only question the judge also saying reasonable questions exist about the timing of willis and wades relationship. When did your romantic relationship with ms willis began . 2022 mcafee writing the District Attorney, chose to continue supervising and paying wade while maintaining such a relationship, as long as wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will persist. I dont think its a good day for the justice system. Defense attorney scott globin faced off against willis during the case when he represented trump, ally can chesebro, one of the four codefendants, to take a guilty plea. I hope and expect that the Criminal Defense Lawyers in this case will appeal this decision. And i both the Georgia Court of appeals has a different view than scott mcafee. Shes not equipped to do the job and that case should end immediately. The former president s legal team vowing to fight on. We will use all Legal Options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place. Attorney steve sadow said those close to willis note the judge wasnt buying the idea that willis devised a financial scheme to enrich herself. And theyre glad she could stay on the case. But now she might not be able to take the case to trial before the november election and Nick Valencia joins us now from atlanta. Now that the judge has another, the judge has ruled neck that she can stay on the case and prosecuted. Do we know more about when it might actually go to trial . Well, trumps Georgia Attorney is expected to appeal the decision which could lead to more delays. Anderson previously before these charges are before these allegations surface chris against fani willis. Shed asked for an august trial date and she was on track for that right now, the question is, can she get it back on track before the november election . Unlike the federal charges that trump faces this is the State Charges have different implications because even if trump wins the 2024 election, he would not be able to pardon himself from these State Charges. Anderson, Nick Valencia. Thanks so much. Perspective now from two former federal prosecutors, jeffrey toobin, and cnn senior legal Analyst Elie Honig also joining us is going keys who served his District Attorney for the Stone Mountain judicial circuit into cab county, georgia jeff i mean, the the judges opinion was a scathing rebuke of of willis, her judgment. He wrote that the reasonable questions remain about whether willis and wade testified untruthfully about the timing of their relationship. I mean, thats today was a very good day for donald trump. This case is going nowhere. Even if in the extremely unlikely event that this somehow staggers to trial in august or in the fall . Think about this. Theres another Racketeering Case In Georgia Where jury selection, not the trial, jury selection, has taken a year. This case is never going to trial before the election its an embarrassment. All of this. I mean, It Fani Willis has hung up on, but this case is going nowhere very quickly. Gwen, i mean, this is now the second time that willis has been a managed by a judge for showing incredibly bad judgment well, probably not surprisingly, but certainly respectfully, i disagree with mr. Toobin. I do think that there is enough evidence to go forward. I think that particularly the timing in this case, while weve had 1 racketeering case, it has taken a long time to go to a jury. Thats anomaly. And my 17 years is a state prosecutor. Ive never seen it take ten or 12 months to get a jury and in the last rico case that im aware of, a Da Wilis Taking to trial with 12 defendants. She was able to get a jury in about four weeks. So i think thats the precedent that we should be looking at. Now its true there are a lot of other cases and matters that may shift the timeframe, but she is unequivocally said she is ready to take this to trial. That has been her mantra since the beginning. If she had her way, this would start august 5th i mean, do you think what the judge said today . Im just going to hurt her at trial. Absolutely. I understand. So the way but characterize what fani willis got todays she survived. I dont think she won, but she survived and thats the most important practical bottom line. Shes still on the case. But fani willis is credibility is in tatters in a way that ive never seen from any prosecutor. Shes now been reprimanded twice. By two separate judges and the language in this opinion, you never see this. Ive never seen a prosecutor admonish like this by a judge ever. I mean, the judge said theyre seven or eight attacks on her credibility, founded by the record, he said there are reasonable questions about whether the da testified untruthfully is uh, judges saying theres a realist the probability the District Attorney got on the Witness Stand and committed perjury. And so i think thats going to manifest a couple of ways. One, were all watching the publics all watching that youre jury pool. And second of all, its going to undermine the legitimacy of this prosecution going forward, and that matters. We care about are prosecutors abiding by the rules and staying clean of conflicts like this . Jeff, this trow would be would be televise. This is probably the only trial that it actually would be televised, so people will be actually able to watch fani willis is performance in the courtroom and the defense attorneys. And as far as i can tell, this trial will be conducted during the presidency of malia obama i mean, it is so far so because gwen gwen was saying she thinks that the the it was an anomaly, the rico case involving young thug that lasted for ten, right. I mean okay. Jury selection will take somewhere between a month and a year there are lots of legal motions that are still to be decided in this case, just as there are in the other cases that trump is facing. So independent of juryselection, there is a lot still to be resolved here. There are also many more defendants in this case who also will want to be heard about issues before the trial takes place. So i think fani willis in many respects was illtreated here. I dont think her testimony was unprofessional. That wasnt my view, but know my view doesnt matter. The judge she was ill treated by by by the defense. I think the judge was unduly harsh on her, but the situation is that this trial is a very long way from from appear going forward. And thats the most important thing going. Im wondering when you think this actually might go to trial and also the judge threw out what hasnt gotten as much attention today, but the judge throughout six of the charges in the indictment, including three against the former president earlier this week yes. I think one of the things were waiting to see is whether the District Attorney decides to reinvite on those charges. She has the ability to do so. Interestingly, in that order, the judge also provided the option of seeking a certificate of immediate review for appeal notably, that Suggestion Biden was missing from the non disqualification order. Today so if if it was my case, i think youd start to look and see how strong is your case without the six charges, whether you would go forward, it does not dismiss any defendants from the case. Everybody is still tied under the main charge, the rico charge in this matter. And its very easy as your guests in know, very easy to indict at the state level. I actually think the federal system has an easier route to cure deficiencies such as those that were outlined earlier this week. But she is able to go forward and reinvite if she decides to cure ellie also just separately in the hush money case in new york, the judge delayed the trial some 30 days. Yes. So a letter just came out from the judge to the parties and its clear to me that the judges taking this seriously, just so people understand whats happening here. So the federal government doj, the Southern District of new york where i used to work. They ran an investigation of the whole Hush Money Scheme and they decided not to charge donald trump when he left office. But in the course of that, they generated Tens Of Thousands of documents, some of which may be favorable to Donald Trumps defense. Now, trump has been trying to get those documents from the feds for a year now. And the feds my former office has, i think, done a very poor job of disclosing those. Theyve played keep away, theyve played slowdown, and now the trumps team is just starting to get those doc and the judge said, yeah maybe it will start april 15th. He didnt commit that. It could be well after that and the you know, that the defense once they see these thousands of pages, they are going to request more time. And theyre also going to make more motions which could delay the case further. The point is trump is entitled to these documents. Hes getting them to lay now its cost them their first trial date and could spiral. They didnt hand over those two prosecutors local process out really duty to do that as a prostate outrage, elie honig, adjust toobin going keys. Great to have you on. Thank you.
