Loved one have Mesothelial Mac will send you youre in the cnn newsroom. Im Alex Marquardt here in washington. Thank you so much for joining us today. We begin with President Joe Biden urging the senate two quickly send a foreign aid package to his desk so that he can sign it into law. Senators are expected to take up this series of bills this tuesday. It was just past moments ago by house lawmakers a special saturday session. Therell be combined and they include 95 billion in military aid for ukraine, israel, and for hi won as well as billions and humanitarian aid. President biden says the house has passage of the bill sends a clear message about the power of americas cities. A leadership, excuse me, in the world. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez is here with me here in washington. So what else are we hearing from the white house . Well, theyre applauding this move, one that they have been waiting for for monday thats to remind viewers this was an at the white house made last october. So this has been wrangling that has been ongoing for some time now. So as soon as this past, the white house applauding it and the president saying in a statement, today, members of both parties and the house voted to advance our National Security interests and send a clear message about the power of american leader their ship on The World Stage at this critical inflection point, they came together, together to answer historys call passing urgently needed National Security legislation that i have fought for months to secure. He goes on to say that he urges senate to quickly send this package drew my desk so that i can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. Of course, alex, the president , has been banging on this drum again for a while now, especially framing it as a National Security priority and talking about this last october when they made that supplemental request, he addressed the nation and he told america, this isnt just about a conflict abroad and helping an ally, but rather this affects us National Security pretty and making the point that they should not see any ground to russia. And so the president and us officials have been saying the stakes are high. We saw that sort of elevated this week in particular with cia director burns saying that ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year if they did not get that funding. And then separately from the president who said in a Wall Street Journal oped before this vote that it was a pivotal moment. So clearly, a lot of applause for the house lawmakers coming to do this, but we should also know that in talking about the stakes of this, us officials were also over the course of all of these months making the connection to Battlefield Losses in ukraine and pointing directly to republicans and saying that there are stalling the aid package is what led to some of those Battlefield Losses. So of course this is a moment that packages all of this together and just speaks to the urgency that the president and the white house has been talking about for some time. This is why volodymyr zelenskyy, the president of ukraine, has been lobbying not just the administration, but lawmakers as well. Weve heard thanks today. Hey, from president s zelenskyy. He tweeted that this will keep history on the right track. But to your point, this has been this delay has been attributed to a rather it has led to some are saying ukrainian losses and russian gains on the battlefield. Indeed the ukrainian president its tweet, came only minutes after the vote, which goes to show how closely ukraine was watching this and how much of a Lobbying Effort it was. I mean, the president had spoken with a ukrainian president zelenskyy in february. He had also met with the Vice President , Vice President kamala harris. So this has been an ongoing effort and a difficult one, a strenuous one as there was continuing to be pushed on the hill. In fact, zelenskyy also spoke with House Speaker mike johnson, so he was appealing across the administration with lawmakers and clearly watching the vote very, very closely today. But i want to note alex, that in this statement, the president talks about the power of american leadership, and that is really been central to all of this is the us trying to reaffirm his leadership on The World Stage. And the president making the 0. 2 World Leaders in multiple conversations that he had over the last several months, the us would stand by ukraine. That was a difficult argument to make when this aid couldnt get through congress. Now it has. So this is also just a really key part of all of this moving forward. Yeah, ive spoken to a number of ukrainian officials in the past a few months have been very worried that this wouldnt get through. This will be not just a huge material boost, but a Real Booser Psychological Support as well for those ukrainian soldiers out there facing the russians for solvers. Thank you very much for all your reporting we have our jury, those were the words of new york judge juan mark sean this week during the hush money trial of donald trump, this is the first time in history that a former us president is facing a criminal trial with Opening Statements due to start on monday trump, this weekend is campaigning. Todays specifically in North Carolina this comes after a dramatic final day of Jury Selection with all 12 jurors and six alternates sworn in by friday afternoon dreary consultant Richard Gabriel joins us now from los angeles. Richard, thank you so much for joining me. This process seemed to move faster than expected. Do you think that this jury is going to hold and in such an unusual high profile case, do you think that the six alternates are enough well, it remains to be seen. I mean, six alternates ordinarily for a sixweek trial should be plenty but as weve seen in all these highprofile trials crazy things can happen, and depending what happens, even on monday, whether jurors come in and go, this is too much pressure. I didnt realize this was going to be so extensive they could replace jurors even next week. So i think the judge is hoping thatll be enough. It should be enough the thing about this jury is that theres a lot of high profile people on the jury, theres lawyers, theres engineers, theres financial people who i think do feel a little bit comfortable probably wont feel as intimidated. I think this is a pretty solid jury. The judge in this case is absolutely going to try to keep this jury and protect them the best you can. But theres no question that this is going to be very intense, richard, for those jurors and the alternates as well, just yesterday, we saw that two potential jurors were excused they told the judge that the trial was too stressful. One even began crying in the courtroom. So how difficult is this going to be for the jury . How higher the stakes for these 12 . Well, 18 individuals with the alternates well, the stakes are much higher for mr. Trump, but they are theres a tremendous amount of pressure on these jurors. They are not only have to face the scrutiny, obviously, their family and some friends probably know theyre gonna be on the jury and so theres that social pressure that creates that. Also theres internal pressure to try to understand. Okay. Ive got my opinions. Ive got my beliefs, but ive got to somehow set those aside and only focus on the facts and the evidence of the case there is the potential for some of the jurors to be threatened. There has been some overtures about that. So theres that concern there. So theres a lot that is riding on this jury, lot of pressure, but hopefully they will rise to the task yeah. I mean, their safety is obviously a huge concern. We have some identifying details as you say, things can leak out through family and friends whove know that there on this on this jury how confident are you that the judge can keep this under control i think hes going to do a good job. Hes already asserted a very strong hand here. Hes admonished the press. Hes going to admonish the parties there. Hes going to do whatever he can to keep this jury safe and i think as the public, we should also make sure that we dont 2nd guest, then we let them do their jobs. Thats one of the beauties of the jury system. 12, diverse individuals from different walks of life, all getting together to make this really important decision. I think we have to honor that and let them work do you think that a judge more sean will will ultimately decide to sequester the jury it could happen. I mean, theres a lot of steps that is going to happen before that. Its obviously a huge cost for six weeks to sequester the jury. Theres also personal hardships on jurors who have childcare and stuff like that. We get hes jurors even with sequestration. But ultimately, if he feels that he cannot protect these jurors in their own homes and theyre being individually threatened. He may take that step. You noted. The high profile of some of these jurors, 18 of them, the 12 plus the six will be meeting as a group for the first time on monday. Theyre highly educated, many of them, there are two lawyers to engineers, many with a masters degree. What do you think that means for the defendant, former President Trump . Well, i think both sides are going to count on them. I think obviously the prosecution is counting on them to really make the direct connections the lawyers to be able to say we have to follow the law on this. If the evidence does meet the law, then is hoping to help educate some of the other jurors about how to make those connections to actually obtain a conviction in this fairly unique legal theory here, i think obviously the defense is looking at these people to really scrutinize them, hold them up to a very high burden to really prove their case because it is beyond a reasonable doubt. And if they cant prove intent, which is something that is going to be a key element here. The intent to defraud the voters, then i think the defense is hoping that either juror number two, whos a truth social follower, some of the financial people will just kind of look at this conduct and go, this may be transactional. Im not sure it rises to the level of a felony, so i think both sides are trying to count on these folks to carry a lot of water there for them. And just as a reminder, these arent just new yorkers, these are all manhattan nights there, all just from the manhattan borough. And when you look at the different characteristics that we know about these jurors do you have any guesses about what the Group Dynamics is going to be well its so super interesting because normally you pick, are picking one or two opinion leaders, people who are going to really drive the jury in One Direction or another. But youve got a lot of pretty high profile individuals on this group. Weve got really experience greens financial people also, probably at the top, of their profession, youve got the lawyers, youve got the engineers here. So theres a lot of people in the Personality Dynamics is going to be important because obviously the prostitution needs a consensus jury. They need everybody to Work Together to get along, to not have any a lot of dissent here to come to a verdict. Obviously he donald trump wants to find at least just that one juror is going across their arms dig their heels in and say, i just dont see it. I dont think the prosecution has met their burden of proof here, and im not going to convict. So that dynamic that personality interaction, hes going to be very interesting to see how this jury gels or doesnt all right, very big week ahead for the former president for these 12 jurors for the six alternates and really for the country, its the first time Richard Gabriel.
