Chris Jansing Reports

bench. he's, you know, talking to the lawyers, but he doesn't have the sort ofes easy access to a cler that he might have. and we don't know if he has his phone up d there. he's very focused. in fact, laser focused on the business of the court while he'r on the bench. we don't know what time he found out.im we had no inkling that he knew. >> while he doesn't have a law clerk adjacent to him, and apparently anywhere else in the courtroom, there is a courtroom deputy whose voice we occasionally hear as she calls out the names of prospective jurors or administers the other. she does have administrative help in the courtroom as well as a number of new york court security officers. in fact, chris, earlier today, one of the prospective jurors said that he had three friends who are court officers and the judge said where. he was clearly referring to the new york city court system, and he said,rk one of them, you kno is in the room right now, proving what a small world manhattan can be. but again, that levity that we felt earlier in the day,

sandoval hearing scheduled this afternoon. what impact will it have on the potential to start to get the meat of the trial underway on monday. we are expecting to hear from juan merchan at 3:15, whether he'll keep that, we don't know. that's the schedule right now, right? >> reporter: it is the schedule, chris, and i was speaking to folks, whether or not we thought the judge could delay the sandoval hearing. the hearing is expected to take an hour or so. if they're able to wrap that up, they would then be excused for the weekend and they would start proceedings monday morning, possibly opening arguments. i would say that the instinct that we have right now considering how the judge has run things so far this week, even with what has taken place today outside the courtroom and how horribly tragic it is, our instincts are telling us the judge will likely go forward with the sandoval hearing, even with all of this happening

with an individual. his name is dave. who witnessed this thing closer than me. i'm about 50 feet from the man who set himself on fire. this individual was inside collect pond park. he had come here from the upper west side, which is about 5 miles north of where we are in lower manhattan, just to kind of see what was going on when it came to the trump trial. and he wanted to check out what was happening with the media, and instead, he encountered this individual, and he said this man threw some papers up. and i had described earlier, chris, when i was on the air with you, there was papers surrounding this individual. he threw papers up in the air, multicolored papers and then he had doused himself in gasoline, and he lit a lighter and then subsequently set himself on fire. you mentioned, chris, as you were coming to me that for many individuals who witnessed this, me being one of them, you couldn't quite understand what was happening in front of you, and i would echo that same

sentiment. when i saw it happening, as i was talking about the impanelled jury for donald trump, i thought to myself in my head, i think there's a fire in the middle of the park. and then i thought, no, that is an individual. that is a human being was on fire. we haven't learned much about this individual and/or the status of him. we know he was taken away by emt. i mentioned he had thrown some papers up in the air. we had gotten a glimpse of some of those papers. it seems to have some vast conspiracy theories written on these papers. that is all we know. whether or not that leads to the motive as to why this individual would have done something so horrific like this to himself, i think, is to be known. and to be learned hopefully more from this press conference that's happening in just a couple of minutes or. so none the less, this man dave that i speak to, really, chris, understandably shaken by what he witnessed just a few feet away

democratic political world for r bringing about the russia allegations was his allegation. whether or not we get to that sandoval hearing as the sirens are blaring behind me is unclear to anybody right now. that would have been the plan. and let me further that for you, chris, if the sandoval hearing had taken place, presumably on monday morning at 9:30 sharp, the jurors would have been seated and we would have proceeded to opening statements from both sidesto with the expectation ofhe completing the both before 2:00et p.m. when on monday, we will adjourn without a lunch break to accommodate the lawyers here who observed the passover holiday. that's what would have happened. that still may happen. but again, all bets are off in the wake of this tragic event today. >> catherine christian, as you mentioned earlier, you spent 30 years in that y area. you were with the manhattan district attorney's office,

around the courthouse, and only because it seems as if he has wanted to move this trial along, knowing how long it's going to take inside of an election year. we thought the jury selection would take two weeks, it's only taking four days of full court. we're going to have to wait until 3:15 to find out exactly what's going to happen. i'm sure there's a lot of conversations happening in the judge's chambers with regards to what will take place in the back half of today's court session. if, in fact, they do resume at 3:15, that means they're going to get into the sandoval hearing. the prosecution will talk about the evidence they will present, if, in fact, the former president decides to testify, the evidence they will present in their cross-examination, chris. >> jim, we have less than a minute, and we may get some answers at this press conference, but knowing what you know and having been involved with the atf for so long and the high profile of this, would you imagine if not increasing

because having now selected them, the rest of the proceedings for this afternoon should be devoted to other pre-trial proceedings, namely what we know as a sandoval hearing, which explores the boundaries of permissible cross-examination so that donald trump can himself make an informed decision about whether to take the stand. again, chris, all bets are off right now for what this afternoon is going to be like, even though things about the events outside were reverberating through the overflow room. we haveth devices at our dispos in there. we have laptops, we're in touch with our respective news organizations. judge merchan is sitting solo on the bench and particularly because he was questioning prospective jurors, there was a point in time where the screen went black asim he was talking the end. so we don't know what he knows. we couldn't see him or any of the lawyers at the very end. it's not clear to us whether the secret service was able to communicate goings on, either to the trump side or share that

they were protected. they might have to happen here with the new york state court offices who are capable of doing that. it will cost money, but that is a suggestion that maybe judge merchan should look at that judge kaplan did in the federal case. >> let me go back to the scene for just a minute because lisa rubin it has occurred to me that honestly anybody who has been to the scene of a fire, most journalists, i imagine have at one time or another, this is not the kind of incident where emts come in, they take the person that's hurt and take them away, so i want to sort of get the lay of the land right now, what you'regh seeing, what you're hearing, what maybe you're smelling. >> as we look out, chris, beyond our camera, we can see an increased police presence, the side street along the row where the cameras are set up is increasingly filled with more and more police, people are milling about in the street, there are law enforcement

wind coming down the north sea, making it feel on the cold side. the afternoon as claudia, the threat of rain across northern scotland, but overall a decent kind of day. in the sunshine, it won't feel too bad. northern ireland and western scotland will have the highest temperatures, probably reaching 16 celsius also. on sunday, more cloud coming in from the north sea. a few showers for east anglia and south east anglia, —— south east england. the highest temperatures will be for the west of scotland and northern ireland again. before i disappear, the sun is really active right now and there is a chance of catching sight of the aurora tonight and into the weekend. the best chance of seeing that is away from light pollution. use a mobile phone or a camera and you might see the aurora putting in an appearance. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at six. now its time to join our colleagues

>> reporter: yeah, chris, and this does really punctuate that split screen week that the biden campaign was going for with the president doing events in pennsylvania three days in a row culminating in this endorsement from about 15 members of the kennedy family backing the current president in his bid for reelection over their own sibling, their own relative, robert f. kennedy, jr., who of course is mounting that third-party candidacy. we know in terms of talking to the kennedy family members that this was a difficult decision for them. it was weeks and months in the making. they had visited the white house, and they had been with president biden a short time ago for st. patrick's day. and they really had been having these conversations behind the scenes about how do we deliver this message that robert f. kennedy jr.'s candidacy could potentially peel off some key votes in critical battleground states that could harm the president's bid here in this race. and they ultimately decided to
