Needs to do or they want him to do, come thursday, how much damage do you think hes going to do . Hes telling a very interesting and compelling story, but everything hes told so far, while certainly immoral, while certainly dishonest is not illegal. Here, hes talking about things that are unfortunately legal. They are unfortunately part of campaigns. The idea that people would pay money to create false information to make their opponent look bad. Other campaigns have done that. The steele dossier is a good example of that with the socalled trump p tape and everything else. So it is the unfortunate reality, what they need to do is then tie that to the false Business Records and i dont think that theyre going to be able to do that with this witness. I think hes hes doing a very good job of setting the scene and giving all the background and hes going to be able to corroborate a lot of what Michael Cohen said, but its not going to get to the ultimate issue we are at the very beginning of prosecutors laying out their case. And you still also hasnt yet had the event stick them up, does give him questions either, so we will see it all, tim, its good to see you. Thank you very much. I knew our Cnn News Central starts now a major Abortion Case at the Supreme Court this morning can state Abortion Bans, keep women from getting Emergency Care and we are standing by if were a judges decision on whether donald trump violated the gag order in the new york criminal case he could be held in contempt at any moment and a controversial bill that would hello, teachers and tennessee to carry concealed guns at school. It is now headed to the governors desk im john berman with sara sidner and kate bolduan. This is Cnn News Central all right. What youre looking at here is washington, dc, a live look at the us Supreme Court right now, were very soon Oral Arguments will begin in one of the biggest Abortion Cases since its Roe Versus Wade was overturned, the justices are gonna be our wang, a case brought by the Biden Administration against the state of idaho. The key question here is how far can state Abortion Bans go when it comes to a woman suffering a medical emergency the eventual decision here could very well set an important precedent for all of the states now, pushing restrictive Abortion Bans. Now that row is no longer in place. Cnns joan biskupic, she has much more from us, from washington outside of the Supreme Court, joan the eye, it seems that the state of idaho, the argument theyre making him pushing back against the Biden Administrations case here is that they say that the Biden Administration is essentially crying wolf when it comes to their restrictive abortion ban. But what is at stake here so much is at stake here, kate, and you can see that were right back where we were essentially two years ago when the Supreme Court reversed nearly a halfcentury of Abortion Rights and trigger this political, legal and social fallout shortly after the Supreme Court announced that decision in the case known as dobbs, attorney general Merrick Garland came forward and said, there is a federal law that can protect women who are Emergency Situations from complications of pregnancy, who go to Emergency Rooms and were death is not imminent as would be the case for the one exception in idaho where death is not imminent, but there are all sorts of other life threatening conditions, health threatening conditions that need to be addressed in that emergency situation. And thats what the government is trying to keep in place here. And what idaho is saying is that no, the federal government cannot displace state laws at want to nearly ban all abortions and today, right at 10 00 eastern time, people are already lining up to here this in two hours. Well hear from the state of idaho trying to defend its ban and saying that the law cannot be displaced, that no woman and idaho should be able to get an abortion in less her life is truly threatened defending the state will be joshua turner, a constitutional litigator. I saying essentially what you said is that theres no reason for the federal government to come in and control the law in state Emergency Rooms on the other side will be elizabeth prelogar, the solicitor general of the United States, saying no, this federal law preempts state, state bands in certain situations. This is a narrow kind of Health Situation where a woman might have a ruptured membrane might be at risk for Organ Failure but as i said, not be completely on deaths door. And what the government is saying is that this law that traces to 1986, that was essentially designed to prevent Patient Dumping in Emergency Rooms would require physicians to try to care for women and if required, help her terminate a pregnancy okay all right. Or arguments set to begin just a couple hours. Jonahs there. Thank you very much, sarah. All right. With me now, is the president of the center for reproductive rights, nancy northrop, to continue this discussion. Thank you so much for coming in this morning for us. So i want to start with this. If the justices decide that the state law stands over what the federal law says, what will the consequences be in your mind well, what we are talking about here is something so basic, which is your right and ability to get Emergency Health care when you show up in an Emergency Room and youre pregnant and something has gone terribly wrong we know what the consequences are, because were seeing it already. The set of reproductive rights is brought lawsuits against texas with their extreme bands and idaho and tennessee and talk to so many more women across the nation are already suffering. Theyre going to Emergency Rooms they are the doctors there are afraid to give them the Emergency Health care they need, which can be abortion when its indicated and so what we will see is more of what we have now what the Biden Administration has said is that federal law requiring Emergency Care also applies to you when youre pregnant is there any other federal law on the books that protect Abortion Rights or is this sort of a singular singular law in and of itself . And if it goes away, or just trumped by state law, what does that mean . Right . Well, this is a general law about Emergency Care and the Biden Ministration saying that applies to pregnant women when their life is threatened in an emergency. There isnt a general law. We need to have federal regulation of Abortion Rights, of federal guarantee of a Abortion Rights. Such a law is passed the house twice. So a lot of support in the senate, we need that to happen because its state after state after state. We filed a brief pointing this out to the Supreme Court women are suffering because they cannot get Emergency Care when they are pregnant. Is there a particular the killer patients case that stands out to you to illustrate the impact. This may have well, there are many cases and again, we outlined them are brief, but we think about amandas arou ski, who is the lead plaintiff and the challenge to texas. Amanda had a much pregnancy into her 17th week. Her water broke, she lost all her amniotic fluid. This is something that is 17 week fetus cannot survive and yet she was turned back from the hospital. They were afraid to give her an abortion because texas, among other things, has a 99 Year Prison Sentence for reading abortion. And so she was sent home. She was sent home to suffer until she in fact gotten affection. She got sepsis and she was in the Intensive Care Unit for three days fighting for her life this is what happens when doctors are afraid legitimately of criminal laws on abortion. And that is why it is so important that the Supreme Court say yes. The Biden Administration is right when you shop in an er and you are pregnant and youre in a Health Crisis you deserve Emergency Care. How well talk was decide when youre talking about physicians being afraid to perform abortions when it could save the life of the mother. How will they decide its time to take immediate action . Externa and what is the potential Chilling Effect here well, if the Supreme Court upholds the Biden Administrations policy that this federal law that Emergency Care applies to pregnant women, then the doctors will know, im protected by federal law that law overrides the state abortion ban. And i can use my best medical judgment to give my patient right in front of me. They care that she needs. Thats how theyll know without this protection. A federal law for emergencies, they dont know and it is just been impossible for them to make the decision to risk their lives in prison to provide the care of the patients that they need. It is just unacceptable. 19 nancy northrop, i know youll be watching as these arguments are played. We are playing them live in just a couple of hours here from the Supreme Court. And maybe well get back to you as soon as we get some sort of decision. From them, how long that takes. Appreciate you coming on this morning. Appreciate it.

Its 21 for 88 years, Morgan Stanley has offered clients determination it forward thinking we need to future. Only you can see you back in the winter its really b moment at the white house. President biden will sign the long awaited aid package for ukraine, israel, and taiwan into law. After months of delay and debate in the house, the Senate Finally passed a 95 billion package overnight. Now, when the bill is signed, it also starts the clock for tiktoks, chinabased parent company. Theyre gonna have nine months to sell or have the app kicked off Us App Stores lets get right to cnn, Congressional Correspondent lauren fox. This really is a big moment i mean, four months, the idea of aid to ukraine and israel has consumed congress and now its finally happening yeah i mean, this is a monumental moment and it does leaders ability to Wk L Gether Foronths behind the scenes, Majority LderChuck Schume Mority leader mitch mcconnell, they were realla united front as speaker, mike johnn was grappling with whether or not he could put this bill ll or any ukraine aid package on the floor of the house. Ultimately, he made the decision that he was going to move forward despite the threats against his job. And i will say i talked to a number of republican senators yesterday who were supportive of this package. And were applauding Speaker Johnson arguing that this was a really brave move that this way theres a move that showed that he was growing as the leader, but its also a testament to the fact that schumeand connell bend the sceneswereontinual havingonversationsrying to figu out a way forward, trying to figure out the best package possible, and ultimately, what they pass last night, despite the fact there are some changes from the original senate bill, it really largely reflected the bill that was passed in february. There were additional republican votes that they were able to get some republicans view Donald Trumps comments is not really against this package. Instead, saying that they felt like there was room to vote yes. On this package . Obviously, we have talked repeatedly in the past about Donald Trumps trumps grasp over the Republican Party in the senate. But this was a huge moment for lawmakers and really a huge moment to show what can happen when lawmakers Work Together across the aisle, bipartisanship, its quite a thing when it works, the junta tiktok and up in the final package yeah. I mean, if you remember, the house had already passed their own version of a tiktok ban. What happened however, is there were some discussions and the senate about whether or not the time that bytedance the Chinese Parent Company bytedance, would have to divest tiktok, whether that time frame should be longer. So there is an additional runway for the time that they have to sell off this company. Otherwise, it will be unavailable on us apps. Now, i will say that this was an interesting vote for lawmakers. If you think about the senate, its an older body. Lawmakers were really grappling with what to do here. And its in a funny i talked to senator mike rounds about this and he said his granddaughter was actually texting him a couple of weeks ago when the house passed this asking her grandfather, are you going to vote for that and trying to figure out what he was going to do and ultimately senators decided that this was the right step. Obviously the president s expected to sign this bill today, but it will be we really interesting to see what unfolds in the months ahead. Absolutely no clock is ticking. I mean, there could be more maneuvering here to be sure. Lauren fox great to see you. Thank you very much for that, sir. All right. Thank you, john.
