the crime and her former boss knox, has been for years in prison for the murder wrongly of work conviction was overturned. the slander charge, though remained today, she was sentenced to three years in prison for that crime, but she will not be going back to serve any of it because of the four-year she already served. thanks so much to all of you for being with us. anderson starts now tonight, on 360 big legal breaks for the former president, two of his three remaining trials get pushed back further one indefinitely. >> also tonight, why trump's about to lose the privilege of karen, the guns he's had a permit to carry for years. >> and later, marking 80 years since the d-day invasion with some of the last surviving veterans of the operation that turned the tide of world war ii. >> good evening. thanks for joining us and how difference in ideas from just a few days ago when a new york jury convicted the former president on 34 felony counts. six days later, other than all charges being dropped, it's hard to imagine a day going any better for criminal defendant than this day went for donald trump. first, aileen cannon, the judge overseeing his classified documents. trial in florida. today revamped the timetable, pushing a number of pretrial hearings later, she did this less than a day after announcing a june 21 hearing on a defense request to declare special counsel jack smith's appointment illegitimate. the hearing to which people who are not party to the case are invited to take part. then in georgia, the other shoe dropped a state appeals court put fulton county district attorney fani willis is case against the former president on hold indefinitely. meanwhile, the president, the former president is talking retribution. here he is last evening on newsmax floating the idea of using the criminal justice system if reelected. it against his opponents very terrible thing. >> it's a terrible precedent for our country does that mean the next president does it to them? that's really the question. it's a terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to add. it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them. >> it's going to have to happen to them very possible. we'll talk about that tonight first though, how today provided powerful evidence that donald trump is getting every benefit right now, that the criminal justice system provides to the accused senior exact cone joins us now with more on the georgia rulings. so what exactly did this appeals courts say and what does it mean? the chances of this case going to trial before the election or at all yeah. >> anderson, the order today, making very clear that the criminal prosecution of donald trump in georgia cannot continue until the appeals court decides whether or not fulton county district attorney fani willis should be disqualified from the case, and that means interest in the chances of this case is an of donald trump's standing trial in georgia before the 2024 election are effectively zero. and it also raises questions about whether a trial will happen at all. now, typically what happens when the appeals court in georgia takes up an issue is that the proceedings in the lower trial quarter automatically stayed put on pause, but this gives us a little bit different, a little bit odd, and that the judges at the trial court level is scott mcafee allowed the proceedings to continue even if the appeals court took it up. so that's why we saw today the appeals court officially pausing all proceedings in scott mcafee is courtroom until the disqualification matter is resolved. and look, that means we have several more months ahead of us. have re-litigating those allegations about fani willis is personal life, but whether she'd financially benefited from a romantic relationship with her top prosecutor instead of preparing for trial of donald trump and his fellow co-defendants in georgia. >> and how's the trump team reacted? >> yeah, trump's lead attorney in the georgia case, do you say dow acknowledging that this was a win for him and his client, donald trump. he said, quote, the georgia court of appeals is properly stayed all seedings against president trump in the trial court pending its decision on our interlocutory appeal, which argues the case should be dismissed. and fulton county da willis should be disqualified for her misconduct. and we haven't heard from donald trump himself in the aftermath of this order from the appeals court, the district attorney's office declined to comment as they weigh their options, but looking at there's and as we said, if the fani willis is removed from this case or sub told me for months that the case effectively goes away. so that's the stakes that we're looking at here, is that cohen thanks so much. now the documents case and how judge cannon's latest decisions will slow things down and potentially complicate them as well. scenes katelyn polantz has more on that. so talk about what judge cannon ordered in terms of this hearing about jack smith's legitimacy as special counsel yeah. >> so anderson, this is a hearing that she's having over the course of three days in late june and she's going to be looking at different things on the table before her. not all of those things there's one they're often brought to judges get hearings. but in this case, she does want to have a day and a half of hearings about the constitution melody of the special counsel's office criticizing the special counsel and it's calling it illegitimate. that is often invoked in political circles. but when that question gets before judges in the modern era of special counsel's offices, bringing criminal cases. it's failed over and over and over again. judges have said no special counsel's are legitimate, but judge cannon, she wants to entertain quite a bit of arguments on this. she wants to have the day and a half long hearing and then on top of that, she's making this very unusual move in a criminal trial court and allowing third parties to come in and argue to help both sides. two parties arguing points that donald trump's team will be making before her. and another sayyed arguing points that the justice department is also going to be arguing to her. >> and what other motions has the judge yet to rule on there's a lot that judge cannon, it still has to deal with. >> there's this before her. it is one of five of the different options or attempts donald trump's team has made to have the case against them dismissed. >> there are a bunch of other things that she has yet to do in this case. >> she needs to look at his request to throw out evidence gathered in the search of mar-a-lago to throw out evidence gathered in a grand jury from his former attorney. >> she's going to be looking at the end of june in this three-day hearing preceding a gag order request from the prosecutors. >> and then they're also out there is something she said she would have four the defense team. they've asked for basically a mini-trial where they could potentially put under oath investigators that worked on this and question them in her court. that was supposed to be at the end of the end of june. but just today, she said, we're not going to have that. i'm going to reschedule it at a later time. and of course over all of this, anderson, no trial date and no trial date anytime soon. based on all of the things that this judge still has to work through, katelyn polantz. thanks. jon is now former federal judge niche and gardner, best-selling author and former federal prosecutor, jeffrey thuban, and cnn legal analyst, norm eyes and jeff, how unusual is this for judge cannon? two first of all, let's talk about the allowing third parties this whole way. >> she is conducted this case is wildly totally crazily unusual. and the allowing of outsiders to participate in a de and a half hearing that most judges would decide on briefs or may let me give ten minutes aside to argue is just a another illustration that she is trying to kill this prosecution. that's the only conclusion you can draw. no other judge in the federal system that i'm aware of would treat these issues anything like what she's trying to do, judge gertner, i mean, you've been critical of judge cannon's handling this case quite some time. what do you make of her opening up the debate over jack smith's authority to some of trump's outside allies well, let's step back. >> what she's effectively doing is taking a number of the only way to describe them or maga, arguments, arguments about selective vindictive prosecution in this case arguments about the special prosecutor legitimizing them by giving them hearing time as jeff was describing, which is literally unheard of. i i've never heard of a case either in which oral argument was granted to a miki to this degree i think she's rehearsing for a higher position. and that's really troubling you. >> i mean, you think it's a nefarious explanation well, if not, i think that that's one explanation. >> one explanation is that she's inexperienced. the other explanation as she is really legitimizing argument humans, these are arguments with respect to the special counsel that have been rejected by the supreme court over and over again. however, justice judge cannon is living in a world in which the supreme court has not been valuing its own precedent. so she's giving it the old college try, which no other judge in her position would have done on rather than one of the other things that was put off for this hearing, rather than dealing with the various challenges to the classified information, rather than dealing with discovery issues she's basically leapfrogging over the kinds of things that a judge who really meant to take this case to trial would do. and then legitimizing arguments which really have no legitimacy whatsoever. >> norm. >> or you appalled it's pretty bad. >> anderson remember, george w bush called himself the decider, and that's what judges are supposed to do. they're supposed to decide judge cannon is the stoller, the procrastinator and it just the opposite of what you would expect from really almost any other judge in the entire federal system the argument any other judge really almost anyone else. >> it's one of the worst performances any any of us have seen. her mindset. of course, none of us knows what's going on. there may be an element not just of currying favor however, with trump or of other ill intentioned goals. she may also be scared. she sees how donald trump can turn on a judge. she sees what he's done in new york g and her family have to live in fort pierce in a way if she's doing it out of fear or if there's an element that's even worse, we looked to federal judges to decide the cases to move them along. this case shook it like blink with her eyebrows and send a message like hostage on my band, right? >> yeah. >> this is just i mean, you know there are a lot of discretion that judges have and there are conservative judges, there are liberal judges, but what she is doing is really an embarrassment for the legal system. i mean, the idea that you know, as as nancy said legitimizing these terrible arguments. but at such lane and delaying, is there any legal recourse just in terms of like, i mean other judges saying like this is just well, this is this is a question if she does find despite the fact that in the paul manafort and andrew miller attacks on robert muller a hunter biden just tried throwing out those ventral counsel if she flies in the face of all precedent and says either under the appointments clauses of the constitution or the appropriation jones clause of the constitution. >> that the appointment of jack smith was invalid? yes. there's recourse up to the 11th circuit. part of the reason i think trying to understand her mentality, she seems so scared to make a decision that she scheduled over a day of argument on these ludicrous motions, if she knocked smith out, that can go up to the 11th circuit and she can be removed by the 11th circuit. that's why she's being so careful, so slow, she doesn't want that, judge. how rare would that be? >> if you were overturned by the 11th circuit judge cannon's case? not so rare she was she was overturned with respect to ruling. she had made prior to the which was extraordinary rulings know. but i i think people really have to understand that this is an argument that has been picked over over and over again? she has not ruled on the gag order question which which smith's wanted her to rule on because that affected like tomorrow. and rather she's spending this amount of time on an argument which really no one has taken seriously again she may be playing to a supreme court who was taking seriously issues that no one ever anticipated they would, but that doesn't really justify her doing it in this way and just quickly the case in georgia, i mean, is that just indefinitely on hold? >> is this do you think this thing is just going away? >> certainly is not going to go to trial in 2024 the court is supposed to make a decision note there'll be argument in october 2024 and make a decision no later than march 2025. it's not happening. then. and whether or not it goes depends on whether he's elected or not. well, there's a word for this prosecution, doomed. this is doomed. this case is never going to trial. i think the georgia case is effectively over and trump has won judge gertner, do you think de a fani willis should be just golf know. i've said from the beginning that she was sleeping with someone on her sayyed she was sleeping with her co-counsel. i can't tell you how many times that that is likely to have happened. there may be issues with respect to money which would have been disciplinary charges not affecting her position in this case or ethical issues which again, would be disciplinary. but it's not like she had a conflict of interest. he was on her side and i have to say i married my co-counsel, so i'm i'm perhaps should be disqualified from this conversation judge gardner. >> i appreciate your frankness. i want to hear more but another time, judge. thank you. jeff tube and norm eisen as well, coming up next, why the former president may no longer be able to stick to his guns, at least not the ones he's got a license to carry in new york. and later devastating testimony that hunter biden firearm trial from people close to him about the drug abuse they witness thanks. >> susie, here is shopping for a used car, but she doesn't know that nearly half of them have been in an accident and interests the car facts.com shows how accidents impact price. so she doesn't have to overpay on pause shot the all new kotb acts.com with armor all a little bit of this protects you from a lot of that armor all less work, more clean it's just your mother and i went different thing which is why we got sling tv so we can watch live and free tv on one app that's right thing is really keeping this family together. you have no idea?

>> well, what we learned today was that very quietly right around the time that president trump was indicted on the 34 counts of felony fraud in manhattan his license to carry firearms and he was licensed for three guns, was suspended on april 1, 2023 that of course, took us through the pendency of the trial and all of that. but with his conviction now, under new york state law, and federal law, he's a convicted felon, which means it is a state and federal crime for him to possess a firearm or even ammunition. now there's a third gun, anderson that after the nypd received these two, they said, where's the third and they said, well, that was legally transferred to florida we don't know, about the third gun. we know the nypd has two, but if former president trump is still in possession of that third gun technically, so they've, they've actually taken two of his guns? >> yes and that that happened when he was charged? >> now, what would have happened was had he been acquitted in the new york state case, he could have applied to get those guns and his carry license back the real question is about the gun that went to florida what is the disposition of that weapon? was it turned into authorities? if so, when if so, to whom? >> if it wasn't florida. i mean, if it's in new york glycines does he is he find to happen in florida? while he would need a florida license. now, the standard for getting a license in florida is much lower bar than new york but regardless, if you are a convicted felon, it doesn't matter if you have a license that's a felony to possess that gun or the ammunition through kristen holmes, we've reached out to the trump camp. they have basically indicated that they are not going to answer any questions about this. >> that's the price. so i mean, we're going to keep pressing because it makes a difference if he if he had a conviction overturned, what are you able to get the license back? >> so he would have to apply to the new york state supreme court here to get a certificate of relief saying you were acquitted and then he'd have to a
