This is really an attack or a political opponent thats all it is. Jessica dean, cnn washington thanks for joining us. The news continues here on cnn its tuesday, april 20. Right now on cnn this morning, a hearing to determine whether donald trump violated his gag order yes. Hush money trial set to begin in just hours the senate preparing to take up a foreign aid bill that could save ukraine and potentially sink tiktok and tensions rising on College Campuses as propalestinian protests erupted across the country all right 5 00 a. M. Here in washington alive. Look at New York City on this Tuesday Morning, the sight of all todays political news. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us in just a few hours. The judge in Donald Trumps hush money trial will hear arguments to determine whether the former president violated his gag order in the case prosecutors argue that trump has failed to comply with it at least ten times and just hours before the hearing, trump, once again tested the limits of the order, attacking witness Michael Cohen outside of court she got in trouble for were things that had nothing to do with me that in trouble. He went to jail. This had nothing to do with me under the order. Trump is forbidden to talk about any witnesses are members of the jury violations could lead to reprimands fines, or even jail time. This comes as prosecutors call their the first witness, david trumps long friend and the former Tabloid Publisher testified under oath monday, the prosecutor you can tie them up as a key player in trumps catch and kill scheme to control the narrative during the 2016 election. Hes expected to be back on the stand before lunch today with me now politics reporter for semaphores, shelby talcott. Shelby. Good morning. Good to see you. In court yesterday. David did acknowledge checkbook journey bernal ism, so to speak. They also of course read the words that trump had when he infamously was caught on tape during me, it was an Access Hollywood tape, of course, a seminal moment in the 2016 election that prosecutors fought to have included in the testimony yesterday, what did we learn . Burn as took the stand and what do we expect from him today . Yeah. I think were going to expect we can expect to see more details about this catch and this scheme that they essentially thought up, which involved a killing store phrase or allegedly killing stories and telling donald trump about negative stories that were going to come out about him while also publishing favorable stories about the student to be president. And what i think is really interesting about this is this is clearly a key part of the prosecutions argument against donald trump. And so im curious to see how the defense ends up trying to discredit this this sort of key player, right . Because theyve not denied that all of this has the big thing that is that they have not denied that this has occurred. Theyve not they have not denied all of this i think its going to be really interesting to see what the defense comes out. Lets talk about the gag order for a second because theres a lot underneath this, a lot going on here. Clearly we have focused a lot on the way the former president has talked about the judge the judge is family, in particular, his daughter. They they had to expand the original version to cover some of that, but of course, trump has tried to turn this into a political issue, right . Because hes saying, look, im running for president , youre not letting me talk. Thats major problem. How do you see this hearing play out today . Well, its going be interesting to see what what exactly the judge determines as prosecutors are asking for. Donald trump to be fine. 1,000 per gag order i think this is interesting because remember donald trump always does what he wants and its very, its been very different, difficult historically for him to not speak about witnesses and not speak about all of these things, even when local people are telling him this is really what he does to be clear, it would be much easier for trumps lawyers if you just didnt say anything. But thats not how donald trump operates. So what im looking for Going Forward is after this gag hearing order, does donald trump continue to make comments and sort of push the boundaries as to what he may be allowed to say or not be allowed to say if a feeling that hes going to continue to push the boundaries and that this is going to be consistent problem throughout this trial we did see some change in behavior when the other kind of example we have here was the Civil Fraud Trial where the judge did start throwing punished twins, adam, he started finding him for what he was doing. This being a criminal trial, the stakes are higher and the potential punishments are potentially different. Im not sure that theres any expectation that trump will be thrown in jail over this. I mean, do you think giving him consequences potentially affects this . Potentially, but i guess it depends on what the consequences are, right . Because if the consequences are a few thousand dollars and the stern warning, does donald trump then think, okay, it can continue to get away with this. On the other hand, as you said, theres not really the expectation there is the possibility that he could be jailed for this is that likely going to happen when i talk to legal experts, they say no so yeah, we we dont really know and how donald trump takes these. Is he going to take this as sort of more of an art, more bolster for his argument that this is all politically motivated. I think thats probably likely. And so does this stop him from Continuing On will face. And of course, there are all of the heard what he had to say. There are about Michael Cohen questions around around that as we are going to start to im sure battle again about the credibility of Michael Cohen in this case, shelby target some four. Thank you for being here. I really appreciate it i come the next year, the senate preparing to vote on that foreign aid bill that could also trigger an effective ban on tiktok.

Senators could try to strip the tiktok legislation out, but it is considered unlikely at this point, cnns Clare Sebastian joins us live from london and marc stewart is with us in beijing. Clair, let me start with you on zelenskyy and his meeting with this congressional delegation. What has he been saying about look the money is out the door now, but there was a significant delay and it absolutely affected how they were able to conduct this war yeah, i think theres a sort of a fine line in a sense for president Zelenskyy Casey because on the one hand, he has been showing this fulsome gratitude and praise for us leadership in the war, but also using this this is really a Call To Action to urge greatest speed really every moment matters for ukraine right now, but i think the optics of this visit by this bipartisan congressional delegation were important showing to ukraine, but also crucially, i think to russia as well that there is this long term bipartisan support for ukraine still in the, we see clear signs on the battlefield recently russia has been betting against that. And i think a moment that really exemplifies those upticks was this very, very symbolic gift given to president zelenskyy by a Republican Democratic congressman, rather a bill keating from massachusetts. Take a look this is the official town of the yes, i see for the supplemental aid. Yes. Look at that 73 . Yes. Thank you so much. So its a big moment, obviously that vert parsing, but this is also a very vulnerable moment for ukraine overnight, the air force seven to shoot down some 15 attack drones. There are parts of the frontline that theyre struggling to hold. We see the second city of kharkiv and the relentless bombardment this morning, picking up the pieces after its tv tower was topple pulled into Russian Missile attack on monday, kasie yeah. Really interesting moment there. Thats sort of underscores the degree of support here in the, but also reminds us that the political system here is such that the will of that 73 is not necessarily what actually bleed plays out. Marc stewart, let me ask you about the Tiktok Question here, because they did put in this effective band and basic would force bytedance to sell tiktok if they want to keep operating here in the im curious what the view is from where you sit in china, how do they view this and i guess how antagonistic do they think this is well, i was talking to one of my sources who is very wellversed in tech and the politics with china. And as he told me, this is really a moment of truth, for beijing and if you look at the current discussion that we have heard from beijing this is not something that the Chinese Government is keen on. This idea of having to take orders from us lawmakers to sell off this component of this larger accompany. Otherwise known as bytedance. So we will likely see resistance if this goes forward for it as expected, legal challenges are almost a foregone conclusion. And this is such a complicated sale. This is not like going to the store and buy a gallon of milk or a candy bar. If we look at tiktok, its value, among other things, is its out good rhythm. This electronic digital tool to know exactly what we want to see and its something that tiktok may not want to part with. So that is why this is so complicated and its one of many reasons why we are going to hear a lot of resistance from beijing. In addition, casey to what weve already heard over the last few weeks and months, really interesting, right . Clare sebastian, marc stewart, up for us this morning. Thanks to both of you all right. Coming up next here in just a few hours, prosecutors will argue that donald trump has repeatedly violated the gag order imposed in his criminal hush money case, plus the city of baltimore suing the owner and operator of the cargo ship that rams the key bridge last month.
