Like crime. now, that s event center tonight, there were thousands of people, many of them waiting outside and 112 degree heat. i will note et according to the fire department here, they did have to transport about 11 people because of heat exhaustion. people waiting outside to see the former president brianna. well, 11 people not is a lot. kristen holmes. thank you for that report. i want to turn now to this news about steve bannon. we have sarah marie out front in washington. sarah, i know you spoke with banner fans, attorney. they weren t actually expecting this result. now, i think even though you saw steve bannon playing it cool in front of the cameras when he left court sounding very defiant, his attorneys were stunned by the fact that the judge ordered ban to report to prison it by july 1st and begin serving a sentence. i think his attorneys felt very confident that they would have for, time to exhaust all of theirs. they re appeals and to keep bannon out of prison for the foreseeable future. now, bannon is not out of options, although this tight time frame is definitely working against him, he could go to the us
Or immediately potentially, but i think that s likely given his story of compliance. just to rewind, this was two years ago that this trial took place, in july of 2022. he was sentenced over a year and a half ago in the fall of 2022, but this has been working its way through the appeals here. the initial panel of three judges off federal appeals court rejected the appeal. what bannon s team says it wants to bring it up to the full panel and eventually to the supreme court. part of this is if trump gets elected in november, if they re able to delay this until then, there s every chance that donald trump would pardon steve bannon. we know that, because he s done it before. it was one of his final acts in 2021, when he dismissed the charges or part of these alleged crimes that he had been charged with in connection with a
Of them get non-prison sentences, but there are several aggravating factors here, including donald trump s violation of the contempt order, the fact that he s not accepted responsibility, the severity of the crime. and i think it s gonna be a razor s edge call whether judge merchan sentences him to prison. but really importantly, wolf, if donald trump does receive a prison sentence, i do think he will be given bail pending appeal, which we we talked about before, which means he won t have to actually serve any sentence until all of his appeals are done, which will be way after the election. interesting, elliott, give us the 10,000 foot view of trump s other legal cases and there are several pending well, there are several pending. it does not look like any of them are likely to make it to trial prior to to election day, which is what many people care about. although look, trials take an exceptionally long cases, taken exceptionally long time to get to trial. there was a case in georgia brought by the district attorney there that is certainly is not going to trial. that was just put on pause by an appeals court. there s a federal case involving the retention of documents and mar-a-lago, his
Should start serving his sentence. bannon s lawyers say he should remain free until all of their appeals are exhausted. next on ana cabrera reports, why israel says it struck a gaza school as efforts intensify to reach a cease fire. plus, the new space race after boeing s high stakes star liner launch yesterday, it is spacex s turn today with its starship mega rocket. cket if advanced lung cancer has you searching for possibilities, discover a different first treatment. immunotherapies work with your immune system to attack cancer. but opdivo plus yervoy is the first combination of 2 immunotherapies for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. opdivo plus yervoy is not chemotherapy, it works differently. it helps your immune system fight cancer in 2 different ways. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away
So again, i guess ultimately cranking up what is a well, i guess more of a wealth tax than a than an income based tax. and there are arguments when inevitably the question comes, blimey, that s quite a that s one heck of a thing, is that they make the argument that that would bring england in line with comparable european countries in terms of their in terms of their health funding. and they make the argument that other political parties, in their view, are not willing to do enough to address what they see as a crisis in the nhs. do you know what s interesting to me about all of this? and we had adrian ramsey, one of the co leaders on the programme on sunday, is that the greens are really the only party who look at the economy in a completely different way to everybody else. and i think it s one of their appeals to a certain type of voter. you know, they essentially think that we have enough resources, there is enough to go round in society. we should not, as all the other political parties want to do, be pursuing the growth

Defendant is yet to be sentenced, and a judgment of conviction, therefore, has not yet been entered. so i think it d be well within his rights to do it, but i agree completely that the judge that any judge we d much more concerned about jurors then witnesses, particularly public witnesses, who have been speaking out, would that geoff would that from a legal standpoint and even exist after whatever the sentencing is. i mean, if if can a judge have a permanent gag order protecting witnesses for no. no. i mean, he his jurisdiction over this case continues as long as the case is in effect af is pending this case is obviously going to be appealed. it would then be up to the court of appeals to decide if they want to issue a gag order. frankly, i ve never even heard maybe you have. i ve never heard of a court of a appeals issuing a gag order. so i think this only applies until the sentencing, which is now june, july 11, which is just a little
Injanuary is the third child to be left by the same parents. dna tests established that baby elsa is the sibling of a boy and a girl found in very similar circumstances in 2017 and 2019. our correspondent sanchia berg was given permission to report these details by east london family court. the baby boy, harry, was found in plaistow in september 2017, abandoned shortly after he was born. a newborn girl, roman, came 16 months later, injanuary 2019, in a park close to the roman road after which she was named. and elsa, also newborn, was discovered this year, just a few hundred yards away. the three children are safe adopted or in care. but their mother has not come froward, despite multiple appeals over nearly seven years by the metropolitan police. judge carol atkinson said babies are very rarely
As you said, this also comes about five months before the presidential election. certainly, immigration polls show it has become a top issue in this election. the white house will say the president had to do this now because of congressional inaction. as you alluded to, that bipartisan border funding deal several months ago, house republicans killed it at the urging of donald trump. here was national security advisor jake sullivan earlier today. when he made his announcement yesterday, he made it after a period of intense preparations so it could be an effective policy. there are lawful pathways to make appeals for asylum. the president has gone further in generating those pathways so people looking to come here to this country with a legitimate claim to come here can do so effectively. reporter: the white house expects legal challenges. senior administration officials say they are prepared to defend
Decide whether or not fani willis does remain on the case or if they want to remove her and until they make that decision, which could be by march 2025, they re now saying that work on the trump case in georgia must halt. it must stop completely judge mcafee had allowed work to continue in the pretrial phase while the appeals process with playing out. so that is being overridden now by the appeals according itself, as it sorts out this disqualification issue. but really the top line here is that this decision is order really does make it even more unlikely that we ll see a trial in georgia before not only the 2024 presidential election, but we could see when nazi one until mid-2025 all right. zachary cohen. thank you so much. we are sticking with this major breaking news. are elie honig is up with what this means for georgia s election subversion case. the context you need even as this news breaks, they were here do 19
