Hes a Man On A Mission to destroy donald trump plus the Biden Administration moving forward with a new 1 billion arms deal for israel. And Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken, making an unannounced visit to kyiv, laying out a vision for victory with ukraine in its war with russia hi there. Im here in washington, dc. It live. Look at new yorks city early on this wednesday morning. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful to have you with us Michael Cohen was in the hot seat and under pressure Donald Trumps former fixer facing hours of grilling on crossexamination from Defense Lawyers yesterday. Their goal it seemed was to paint cohen as a liar bent on revenge or any todd blanche at one point confronting cohen with how his tone regarding trump has evolved. Shall we say, over the years he asked cohen about comments that were made back in 2015, quote, you said, hes a man who cares about his country, right blanche asked i said that cohen responded and later blanch continued. And at the time, you werent lying, right cohen responding at the time i was kneedeep in the cult of donald trump trumps lawyers then trying to contrast that by asking cohen about recent insults and taunts. Hes leveled at trump, including cohen saying, quote, people will not be satisfied until the man is sitting. This man is sitting inside the cell outside the courtroom. Trump appeared with a group of republican allies standing behind him, tried to project confidence during the crossexamination while again criticizing the gag order today, we had a i think a very good day for you to see whats happening. You have to report it, but this i cant talk about it too much. But i think was a very, very good day. Can you believe ive been in for five weeks instead of campaigning its a shame j. Now is White House Correspondent for bloomberg news, a kayla gardner, a kayla good morning to you. Thank you so much for being here so a lot of drama here for cohen on the stand and he first walked through his eventual break with donald trump. All the events that led up to him deciding he was going to take a plea deal and Start Talking to prosecutors. But of course, the defense getting a chance to try to undermine his credibility at what was your sense of how today played potentially for the jury, but also in the court of public opinion, the prosecution is hoping that even if people dont like Michael Cohen, hes clearly had this bombastic personality. He was a staunch supporter of trump. Theyre hoping that they believe him, they really trying to paint him as a credible source here as donald while trumps former fixer by things that was very interesting about yesterday, is a prosecution has really upholding going as a star witness. And we saw donald trump with really his strongest showing of allies yesterday. He had potential vp picks outside the courtroom and he had the speaker of the house which was very stark, not only because of the stature of his position, but also because my johnson is someone whos really painted himself as this person with traditional that ill use and yet hes outside this courtroom for allegations of someone who is delivered Hush Money Payments to an adult film star. So himself, as someone who has those values, but someone who has really, if you look at the way hes lived his life, his roles in his church, other things along those lines. There does seem to be an explorer most it rejection there of some of the conduct that he seemed to be at least associating himself with, right. At the courthouse so one of the things that i also think is interesting about that reality is that if you look at people who have demonstrated loyalty to trump over the years, you also see that trump doesnt always repay that. I mean, Michael Cohen because the prime example of that honestly we were sort of digging through the archives, kinda see how people talked about Michael Cohen in his past life as he was a supporter of Donald Trumps another character in this mix, who didnt really come out very well and all that was michael avenatti, who at one point when served as Stormy Daniels attorney. Heres what he had to say back in i believe, 2018 about Michael Cohen. Watch this the problem here is that the president has put a lot of faith on the shoulders of Michael Cohen in his ability to withstand a considerable amount of heat and take a lot of heat, potentially lose his license, et cetera. Michael cohen does not strike me as the kind of guy that at the end of the day well do do that anytime a guy has to repeatedly tell you how toughy is and referred to himself as ray donovan. Thats really not a tough guy at the end of the de thats more like a purse puppy the first puppy. But look, i was right. Michael cohen did flip and thats why we find ourselves in this situation today. How do you think the American Public is viewing Michael Cohens . Decision here . And the way its played out. I mean, there are cases that are prosecuted all the time with witnesses who you dont have to be brought out of jail, are admitted. Admitted to all sorts of crimes. There have been comparison some of our legal experts have compared this to a mob trial. But at the end of the day, there really are questions. 111 phrase that blanche, you whos yesterday toward cohen was to say it, well, youre obsessed with donald trump . No. Yeah, i think its certainly fascinating the way that cohen has flipped. But the prosecution is really hoping that jurors will believe im not the American Public. They really only need to convince those people in the courtroom, but youre absolutely right in saying that loyalty is a biggest test of donald trump looks for when hes looking for anyone on to work with, but particularly for his vp candidates. And i think hes known to be someone who takes track of people who stand up for him, people who fight for him. I think thats exactly what hes doing with some of these potentials. The p candidates that we saw yesterday, doug burgum, that that ramaswamy, Byron Donalds. These are certainly things that hes going to be testing, especially because we saw mike pence, obviously broke hugely with donald trump in the final days of his presidency. All Garten Frehse this morning and kayla, thanks very much for starting us off all right. Coming up next House Speaker mike johnson doing what donald trump cant do as we were just discussing outside that new york courtroom plus President Biden moving forward with more for arms for israel.

This is sienna welcome back, the Biden Administration is moving forward with a 1,000,000,000 arms deal for israel, the sale still in its early stages, we understand, but it comes right after the president paused a shipment of bombs over concerns, with fullscale israeli operation into the Southern Gaza city of rafah we are continuing to send Military Assistance and we will ensure that israel receives the full amount provided in the supplemental we have paused a shipment of 2000 pound bombs because we do not believe they should be dropped in densely populated cities right . Joining me now is seeing it inter international anchor, max foster, max, good morning. Always wonderful to see you at the president , obviously came in for a lot of criticism from his right on pausing that shipment of bombs. But this clearly sends a different message that they are still with israel, even if they dont want them to use a particular set of tactics house this likely to be received . Well, a little pro israel supporters werent happy about the fact that that weapon was withheld obviously, the main concern is how be used in or rafah what weve got here is a president , hes saying we are showing his longterm commitment, if you like, to supporting israel. This latest still hasnt even gone to congress yet. It could be years away before its delivered to israel, but allows them to be able to say, we do support israel. We just dont like what its doing in the short term or potentially doing the short in a rafah. But the broad idea of supporting israels military is still very much there. One, this comes as it seems like the israeli buildup in rafah is increasing now its certainly is. And they seem to be getting a position to go in for a ground invasion. We dont know whether or not they are, how widespread thatll be, but its causing a huge amount of concern, obviously, where you are. Yeah. So max, in addition to being an anchor, you are also are royal correspondent here at cnn i have to. Say that the thing everyone in my Social Media Feeds is talking about, it seems because i was inundated with it last night. Is this new portrait of king charles and his just been unveiled . I think we can show everyone wow, it is rather stunning what do you make of this . It is very outside id the norm for a royal family that is typically very careful about adhering to tradition well, in the past, i think artists could be headed for actually doing a bad portray. I think this is art. Hes a golf fan everyones allowed to have their own Opinion Metrics youre also are chief Diplomatic Correspondent this morning i ill just explain the thinking and the number one, the face is done brilliantly. It is a real likeness. I know that camilla spoke to that as well. She said, youve got him. I think that, you know, the artistry you on deny away from that it does sort of have a lot of tradition to actually, when you think about a sitting in a welsh guards uniform and a formal pose. What youre probably talking about is the redness while scars you uniform is red. People have said it. He looks ghoulish. He looks like his head is floating and it looks like hes in hell yeah the idea but i dont think he cares what is to be interpreted or whatever it means to people. And i think hes probably going to quite like the fact that people are talking about it. Well, thats fair. Now, can i ask you will have seen this before he pulled the the. Fabric off of it when this was unveiled, while he must have done right, because they always talk about how a nerve wracking. So unveil to portray. I think thats because they wait the reaction and you just given them a big one. They do get of course they do a look at it because if its really bad, i dont think the artist wants to be beheaded. It rather have it going to be beheaded anymore. Thank goodness. I had not even i had not thought of that, but it does make sense. In the british tradition. Yeah, i mean, look, i actually think its a pretty stunning piece of art. I am, i am stunned that they went ahead with it well, the idea is that youre modernizing, right . Its a new monarch. Youre not going to do, youre deliberately not doing anything that looks back, something looks forward and so its meant to be a modernized version of what they normally do. And then after that, its up to the artists how they want to interpret that. And i think that you probably wouldnt barely even if he didnt like i cant because hes got art schools and he does believe that artists await should be able to express themselves and their interpretation of how they see him. I dont know if he likes it, but i think he likes the fact theyd want to talk about it fair enough. All right. Thanks, foster. Thank you very much for that. Youre good sport. I appreciate it. All right.
