but house speaker kevin mccarthy could lose his job over it. sending a message of support and unity days after u.s. lawmakers blocked aid for ukraine. we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn newsroom." in a case that could destroy his business, donald trump is in court on day one of his civil fraud trial in new york city. those proceedings could be an uphill battle for the former president. already last week the judge found trump liable for fraud, a ruling that could be destabilizing, to say the least, for the trump organization. >> trump has gone on the offensive, ramping up his smear campaign against the judge and prosecutors just a few steps from where he's sitting for trial. >> we have a racist attorney general who is a horror show.

>> we'll go in and see a rogue judge and listen to this man. this is a disgrace, and you're to go after this attorney general. >> cnn's brynn gingras is outside the courthouse. also with us, cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller and cnn legal analyst jennifer rogers. great to have all of you. brynn, let's start first with you. we've heard some well worn trump rhetoric going back to his playbook again and again. but how are things shaping up inside that courtroom? >> reporter: jessica, pretty much any time there's a break, he comes out and talks to the cameras, very much political moves by the former president. i'm getting realtime updates from my colleagues in the courtroom. they say right now the first witness is on the stand, that's donald bender, he was the former accountant for trump and trump org and right now he's testifying to the fact that he compiled financial statements for the trumps and trump's orgs,

but didn't really do the analytics of it. that speaks a little bit to how his testimony is going to proceed from here on. before that with opening statements, and, of course, that's the crux of any case. let me get to that. in the state's attorney's opening statement, he said trump, his sons, the trump organization all conspired for years to fraudulently inflate their assess in order to get business loans and better interest rates and saying this -- in the state of new york. before summing up their statements they asked the judge to bar them from doing business in new york again. they talked about a number of witnesses who will take the stand, one being trump's former fixer michael cohen. if you remember, the whole reason this case even started was because of michael cohen's testimony in front of congress where he said the trumps did inflate their assets. after that, of course, we heard

from the defense team, the defense saying that trump built this huge empire and it was all done by the book, that there was never any -- he compiled everything in -- it was all regulatory, it was all by the book, and saying this, in sum, there was no illegality, there was no fraught, there are no victims. in fact, they say there were banks that were wanting, eager, to do business with the trumps. trump is very eager to actually get on the stand in this trial. we don't expect that today. he's a witness for both the state and the defense and some time soon we do expect him to take the stand, guys. this is a trial that's going to last nearly three months. we'll stay there and bring you the very latest. >> one of 28 potential witnesses that letitia james, the a.g., said she can call. brynn, please stand by. john miller, this is obviously not a normal day in court. you have a defendant that is late because he's outside making

defamatory remarks about the a.g. and the judge that's ultimately deciding the case. how big of that do you think was the reason the judge ruled against having cameras allowed inside for the proceedings? >> well, i don't know if one thing had anything to do with the other. the thing you have to separate this case from is donald trump didn't have to attend this. it's a civil proceeding. he could have been represented by his lawyers. that makes it different from his arraignment in miami, different from his arraignment in criminal court, in the hush money case in new york, different from his arraignment in washington, d.c. on the election fraud, the federal election case or in georgia, the state election fraud case. he came here for two reason, bun to make his statement in court and one where his business empire, not his personal freedom, hangs in the balance, but also to make that statement

in the hallway. the judge not allowing cameras in the courtroom which he could have done under new york state law to shoot the opening statements of the prosecution and the opening statements of the defense actually leaves us in the position of really having to kind of go through our crib notes from the people in the courtroom and donald trump's statements in the hallway and letitia james' statements on the steps. i don't understand why we're still operating on the stone age when we can have cameras in that courtroom. the only difference is compelled witness testimony, the judge would have to leave it up to the witness as to whether they wanted to allow their testimony to be televised. the rest of it we could have seen today and we should have. >> john, i want to ask you, because we heard the former president say in some of his remarks that people should go after the attorney general. we know that when he makes these kinds of statements -- when president trump makes these kinds of statements, that often those people do become targets

really of more threats. do you think that the security apparatus can keep up, and is there a point where a judge steps in on something like that? >> well, if the judge steps in here, it will be no less than i think the third time donald trump has been personally admonished by a judge to keep his statements within the keeping of the local rules of what statements are appropriate during a court proceeding. in this case, go after the attorney general, donald trump knows exactly what those words mean. he knows exactly how some of his supporters will take that. i think it's a very dangerous statement to make. but i'll say this, security was tight at the courthouse today, and letitia james, the former new york city public advocate has had a new york city police department security detail for her time in city government. she has had a very competent security detail made up of

people i know as she's been attorney general, and she's used to threats. she'll take that in stride. certainly the statement in provocative and it wasn't accidental. >> no doubt about that. john, stand by for us. i want to go to jennifer rogers now. jennifer, since the judge has already found trump liable for fraud, is it possible the damage to the trump organization is already done? help explain what's at stake in this trial. >> well, certainly a lot of the damage is done. the judge now during this proceeding is going to determine the fine amount, and as you said, a lot of these issues are already resolved. there were additional counts brought in the complaint that tish james and her team brought. some of those require intention, require that this fraud was intentional, and that could lead to even higher fine amounts and the dissolution of these businesses altogether including a ruling that line of scrimmage

m letitia james is seeking that donald trump and his sons will not be allowed to do business in new york again. >> jennifer, because we're anticipating an appeal from the former president, how does the fact that this wasn't a jury's finding but rather a decision from the bunch weigh into that appeals process? >> it doesn't make any difference as far as the trial. so the judge will make the credibility findings that a jury would and ultimately decide as the fact-finder, that's exactly the same in terms of the appellate review, whether it's a judge or a jury. there are different standards for summary judgment because summary judgment relies on undisputed facts and a legal judgment. so that's in a little bit of a separate bucket that an appellate court can apply to that piece of it. as far as the trial goes, there's no difference at all, which begs the question why team trump didn't try harder to get a jury trial here which could have

only benefited them. it's unclear whether they would have been entitled to it, but apparently they didn't even seek it which is kind of a bit of a puzzle. >> i also want your read, jennifer, that in the trump's organization's dealings, there were no victims -- i believe the phrasing that was used, there were no untoward profits or something to that effect. what do you make of that? >> well, there certainly were untoward profits. when you think about a fine amount or damages, one way to assess that is loss to the victims. another way is ill-gotten gains to the defendant. if they fraudulently said our properties are with this amount and the banks gave them a better interest rate than they would have gotten had they not defrauded the bank, those ill-gotten gains is something that should be disgorged. what's the harm here?

nobody lost money, even if the values weren't what they should have been, no dig deal. it's not as much of a legal point as it is something that would appeal, again, more to the jury than potentially to the judge who is going to follow the letter of the law. >> ill-gotten gain has a better sounding phrase than untoward profits. i'm not sure where that came from. >> jennifer and john, thank you very much. prurp is using his time at trial today to get in front of the trials. his team readily admits they're trying to turn these proceedings into a campaign event. >> cnn's kristen holmes is outside trump tower in new york. kristen, we want to remind everyone that the former president did not have to appear in person today. he certainly did. he's there and talking and talking a lot. he's in front of the cameras. what more can you tell us about

the strategy? >> jessica and boris, he did not have to go. not only is he talking to the cameras a lot, it's being aired on a lot of news networks. that's something not going unnoticed with his team. this is something i've been asking trump advisers for months. how are you going to navigate a 2024 presidential campaign with all these looming trial dates and lengthy trials. clearly today we saw one of the ways they'd navigate that, by turning these trials into campaign events. as soon as trump was leaving trump tower, they knew there were cameras everywhere. they blasted out an email attacking letitia james like you would a political opponent. once he was downtown, he walked into the courthouse, he waited for the cameras, gave everyone an opportunity to roll on him essentially, and then restarted making his remarks. his team was aware of how many press feeds were in the courtroom. they were very aware that the judge was going to rule on whether or not they would allow

cameras in both the courtroom and the hallway. these are things they monitor closely because they are all about optics. donald trump likes to play this out in the court of public opinion. you could tell by at least some of what he said today that this is going to be something he makes political. >> what we have here is an attempt to hurt me in an election. people are getting it. i can tell you the vote is getting it, every time they give me a fake indictment, i go up in the polls. >> reporter: so just to make something clear here, he is going up in the rolls when it comes to the republican primary, this is helping with his base and republican primaries. there's no indication of the this would held him down the road in the general election. his advisers have told me they are concerned, they don't know how it will play out. the other quick thing i want to mention here, while this case and while the way they're

handling this is very political, it's very personal to donald trump. he built his entire brand on being a successful businessman. it's not just his personal brand, but his political brand. he spent all of 2016 saying the reason he was best suited to be president is because he was such a successful businessman. and a message you'd likely hear again in 2024. a hit to that is also a hit to his political identity. >> certainly irritates him. >> that's why he keeps going back to the microphone. >> kristen holmes live from manhattan, thank you so much. still to come, republican congressman matt gaetz vowing to push ahead with a move to oust house speaker kevin mccarthy. mccarthy's response, bring it on. laphonza butler appointed to fill the late dianne feinstein's senate seat. we'll take a look at the background and what it means for

the senate election next year. later, we'll go live to ukraine where president volodymyr zelenskyy is meeting with european foreign ministers. he has a very powerful message to them. ukraine's victory depends on your cooperation. all that and many more news headlines when ""cnn news central"" returns.

that's what congressman matt gaetz is saying about his plans to oucht kevin mccarthy from his speakership. the speaker struck a deal with democrats over the weekend to prevent a government shutdown. let's bring in cnn's lauren fox live on capitol hill. lauren, congressman gaetz has so far stopped short of officially calling for what is known as a motion to vacate, but he's promised that that's coming. >> reporter: yeah, exactly. he's sort of keeping the suspense alive right now, jessica. what me went to the floor to do

today was essentially list out once again his problems with house speaker mccarthy, accusing him of cutting a secret deal on ukraine which is speaker has denied. he's also argued that the effort to pass that short-term spending bill on sptd with republican and democratic votes, that was a violation in the eyes of mccarthy's hardliners. one of the key questions remains whether or not, a, gaetz has the votes to do this and, b, whether or not democrats have the votes to help mccarthy survive. here is matt gaetz on whether or not he would keep bringing this up if he doesn't have the votes the first time. >> if this does fail, will you bring this up again? >> yeah. >> how often? every day? do you think you can win this vote eventually? are you going to keep doing it until you have the votes? >> like i said, it took speaker mccarthy 15 votes to become the speaker. so until i get to 14 or 15, i

don't think i'm being anymore dilatory than he was. >> reporter: jessica, the central question right now is what are democrats going to do? they could play king maker in this situation, either saving mccarthy or potentially contributing to his ousting. that is a key question right now. democratic leaders are expected to meet tonight to discuss obviously a myriad of issues. you can expect this is going to be top of mind for so many members coming back to washington today as they face down potentially this very key question. >> it is such an x factor, what those democrats are going to do. lauren, we saw speaker mccarthy say -- i believe it was "bring it on" in terms of the threats from gaetz. how has he been responding to all of this? >> reporter: repeatedly today mccarthy is trying to put out there that he's not afraid of this, that this is always going to be a fight that he thinks is worth having. as we press him repeatedly on whether he's having

conversations with democratic colleagues including democratic leader hakeem jeffries, he sort of has said he's not having those conversations now, but when sasked if he would have thm in the future, he said, look, this is about the institution. here he is. >> i think this is about the institution. any time somebody has an ethics complaint and they can't get -- >> reporter: he hasn't ruled it out, if he's going to have a conversation with jeffries because obviously all eyes are on the democratic leader. i'll just note that many democrats i've talked to says if mccarthy wants bailout, if he needs a life raft, he needs to go to jeffries, he shouldn't expect the other way around. >> they'll all come back to d.c. i know you'll be there making sure we know exactly what's

coming up next. lauren fox on the hill, thanks so very much. from the house side to the senate side where a new member is set to be sworn in. california governor gavin newsom appointing laphonza butler to fill the seat left by the death of senator die ian feinstein. kyung lah has the details. tell us about it. >> what we know about her is at least in california she is a formidable political figure. she is someone who is really well known at least in democratic circles, but she is not holding public office right now. what she does do, she is the person that governor knewsom ca point to and say she is someone allowing him to keep his promise to fill the role, to appoint a black would plan to this seat. there has not been a black woman in the senate chamber since kamala harris left to become vice president. in laphonza butler, what he has

is an historic appointment. the third black woman to serve in the senate in u.s. history. she is also the very first black lesbian to openly serve in the senate. she's currently the head of emily's list and also somebody who has deep ties to the union movement here in california. boris, butler, certainly a notable moment for the governor in his fulfillment of a promise. also something else democrats are talking about, boris, is shees being given this appointment without any strings attached, meaning that if she wanted to, she could run in 2024. >> and she could potentially face a tough battle because there are already folks throwing their names into that competition. tell us about that. >> yeah, exactly. this was the political pickle for governor newsom, what he did not want to do. he's openly said this. first of all, he didn't want to appoint another senator. he wanted the voters to decide.

but because of senator feinstein's passing, he has to fill this seat. so what he did not want to do is tip the scales. there are three congressional candidates already running for this senate seat, adam schiff, katy porter as well as barbara lee. it's something that is a crowded field and it's about to get much more crowded. >> a race to watch oupt west for 204. kyung lah, thank you for the reporting. up ahead, it could be the largest health care strike in u.s. history. unions representing 75,000 kaiser permanente employees are plank to strike on wednesday if they don't reach a new labor contract. the latest on their ongoing negotiations when we come back.

the stage is set for the largest strike among health care workers in u.s. history. tens of thousands of kaiser permanente employees could walk off the job if union leaders can't hammer out a new contract with the health care giant on wednesday. the current deal expired on saturday nice. camila bernal has been tracking the details. camila, what are the, woulders asking for and where do negotiations stand right now? >> reporter: in terms of negotiations, both sides are at the table, but the clock really is ticking because this strike could start on wednesday.

what i'm hearing from one side when it comes to kaiser is they're optimistic that they're making progress, they've come to agreements on some of the issues here and they made some proposals to the coalition of unions. on the side of the unions, you have them saying we are not going to take those proposals. they're saying they're not going to budge when it comes to the amount of money that they're asking for. they want raises across the board and they do want protections against outsourcing, among other things. one of the things i'm hearing over and over again from union members, boris, is that they really feel there's a shortage of workers and they need kaiser to address this. they say they're doing the jobs of two, three people and they're overwhelmed. they say they're exhausted both physically and mentally, boris. >> camila, if they don't have a deal and there's a strike on wednesday, how far-reaching are the consequences? what happens? >> reporter: they're going to be huge. kaiser says, look, we're going

to keep hospitals open and emergency rooms open, but there likely will be delays. we likely will have to reschedule a lot of these appointments and it's really not going to be easy for these hospitals, but when i talk to union members, they say, look, it's wofrth it because right now it's the patients who are suffering as well. no matter what, it's the patients that are losing. one union member told me the consequences are so huge even just from her job, that she is extremely concerned. here is how she described it. >> i do general x-rays where i could be x-raying a hand or a leg, but i also do mammograms. if you're waiting for mammogram appointments because we are short-staffed, that means cancers can be missed. that means certain crucial things that our patients are worried about and myself as a patient, too, are worried about.

if we can't get you in in a timely manner, things can escalate and become very serious for our patients quickly. >> reporter: that's why they say it's critical, if the two sides don't come to an agreement, the strike will begin wednesday at 6:00 in the morning and will go through saturday at 6:00 in the morning, boris. >> a story we know you'll be watching closely. camila bernal, thank you so much. jessica. this just in. we're getting the first look at the new york attorney general's opening presentation in court today. we're seeing new deposition clerks. cnn's brynn gingras is on this. let's start first with what you're hearing from the room. they are back in there for this afternoon's session. >> reporter: right now again we still have on the stand donald bender, that is the person who used to be the accountant for donald trump and trump organization. my understanding from my colleagues in the courtroom is donald trump, the former president is sitting there with

his defense attorney listening intently as mr. bender is giving his testimony. it has been some intense moments in court, if you will, guys. you have to remember, set the scene, we have the attorney general who is in the front row listening. we have donald trump who is with his defense attorneys, and then we also have eric trump who is a defendant in this case sitting behind him. we're told that multiple times when donald trump walked in and out of the courtroom, he didn't even acknowledge the new york attorney general. in fact, one of the moments eric trump did go over to the new york attorney general and shook her hand with both hands. it wasn't until the lunch break that donald trump gave a little bit of an acknowledgment to the new york attorney general. you can imagine the mood in that courtroom with all these people in play. as you guys just mentioned, the new york attorney general's office has put forward its opening statements for everyone to look at on their website. it does include some of the

video depositions that were taken earlier this year in this case, little snippets of them to show basically the run-around, the denial that donald trump and his sons would have about who was preparing these financial statements. they asked the question in these opening statements were they lying then or are they lying now? this was a big moment to see all those video depositions, the snippets of them through out those opening statements. this is something that the new york attorney general wanted to do, put the opening statement, let everyone see exactly what their arguments are for this case. those are now public. >> and we're now getting to see more of those. brynn, thanks so much for that reporting. an historic event. that's how a top ukrainian official is describing the meeting of european foreign ministers in kyiv. it comes just a few days after house republicans blocked aid for ukraine. we'll have a live report from ukraine. stay with us.

foreign ministers at the european union moving their meeting to kyiv to signal they're solidly behind ukraine. it's happening just after the u.s. lawmakers passed a short-term spending bill that did not include ukraine aid. cnn's fred pleitgen is joining us from ukraine. fred, what's the reaction on the ground to all these developments? >> reporter: i would say the ukrainians are extremely concerned about that bill in

congress and the fact that ukraine aid was not inside that. it was quite interesting because the ukrainian foreign minister on the sidelines of that meeting, the ukrainians themself said was historic with the foreign ministers of the nations in kyiv. he said he hoped it was just an incident and funding for ukraine would continue. obviously it is something key for them. we were able to speak to the national security adviser here of ukraine. he said in the end the united states needs to decide whether it wants to be on the side of ukraine as its defended against -- >> translator: we need to see whether the united states is responsible for democracy in the world, whether it remains a country that supports democracy or whether it is a country that will stand by as authoritarian states seize more and more territory. >> reporter: that was the national security adviser of ukraine speaking there.

that's something we've heard from ukrainian officials in the past as well, that they say that right now for them it's obviously very important to keep the aid to ukraine going. they believe this was an outlier event. certainly they also see, jessica, some of the things going on in the u.s., with some of the poll numbers suggesting the population in the u.s., right now the majority of people are skeptical of further aid to ukraine. the ukrainians believe it doesn't necessarily reflect what's going on in the battlefield. they believe right now they have the upper hand, in large part thanks to weapons in the united states. they certainly believe if the aid continues, they have a good shot at pushing the russians back. >> more to come on capitol hill on that. fred pleitgen for us live in eastern ukraine, thanks so much. boris. so france is battling a really icky outbreak, bedbugs. the blood-sucking insex have swept through paris. they've been spotted in places like movie theaters, public transportation.

it comes as the french capital is preparing to host next year's summer olympics. cnn's melissa bell has the details. >> reporter: a nasty commute and not just for the passengers you can see. french officials say bedbugs have infested paris' transport networks and the wider city. the race is now on to exterminate the bugs with less than a year to go until the olympics. from metros to high-speed trains, videos have shown them taking over some cinemas and even at airports which is making for an itchy situation as france prepares to host the rest of the world next summer. french officials are preparing to take measures to contain the scourge with transport operators gathering this week to try to find ways to get rid of the pests. that's not enough for some who say the thought of sitting on a bus or train next to the uninvited seat mates makes their skin crawl.

>> translator: that really traumatized me. i'll keep my luggage close to keep them from getting to my home. also, i'm not from here. once i get home, i'll have to wash all my clothes. >> translator: the fact we can actually see them means there are a lot of them. in addition, they're being seen in the day when they usually come out at night, so there's a big problem somewhere. >> reporter: paris' deputy mayor says no one is safe from the problem because the bugs can be picked up anywhere. a recent government report estimated about one in ten french households had had bedbug infestations between 2017 and last year. though some fumigation companies say business is higher than usual and more urgent. >> translator: we've had customers calling us up crying, desperate for a solution, and it's very, very costly. when you have to throw away all of your bedding, when you have to undergo works in your apartment, so you get into a

sort of paranoia. >> reporter: while bedbugs may be a growing nuisance in paris, health experts say they're not considered dangerous, causing merely itching and rashes. their numbers are increasing not just in the french capital but around the world as people travel more and the bugs become more resistant to pesticides, an irritating problem but not one, say french officials, that should pose a threat to the upcoming olympics. their plan? to stop the bedbugs biting as soon as they can. melissa bell, cnn, paris. >> eh. melissa bell, thank you so much. supreme court justices are back on the bench. what they will and won't be taking on this term.

headlines we're watching this hour. the fraud trial of sam bankman-fried begins tomorrow with jury selection. he's pleaded not guilty to seven counts of fraud and conspiracy in connection with at collapse of his crypto trading platform ftx. federal prosecutors say that he stole billions of dollars from customers for his personal use and defrauded investors in one of the biggest frauds in u.s. history. if he's convicted he could spend the rest of his life in principle. also canadian wildfires are still burning and that smokey haze from the fires has reaer pooed over new york city. this is what it looked like on new york city as the smoke shroud the sun. spoke is expected to blanket between new york and massachusetts, though the air quality is expected to stay in the good to moderate range. and in honor of president

jimmy carter's 99th birthday, 99 immigrant spent the day becomes americans. the group took the u.s. citizens oath in a nationalization ceremony on sunday at the carter center in atlanta. >> it is just amazing how god works in mysterious ways. that i am one of the candidates that has been selected for president carter's 99th birthday. it is a wonderful place. it is a place of freedom. it is a place of opportunity. specially if you have children. >> the ceremony happens once a year at the center. but sunday's eent took on special meaning for that group which represented 45 countries. the supreme court began its new term today in the upcoming docket is filled with major cases involving free speech and regulating social media and gerrymandering and gun rights in incidents of domestic abuse. jessica schneider is here with more on the cases coming before

the court, so map it out for us. what do we expect? >> we already have seen this supreme court overruling precedent in past years. whether it is on abortion or affirmative action. this term is going to be really interesting because we're going to see how much farther the conservative-led court is willing to push issues. we do have an upcoming case heard next month on gun rights. this is about a lower court that struck down a federal law that restricted whether people under domestic violence retraining orders, whether they could have guns. federal law said they couldn't and the lower court struck that down said it was in violation of the second amendment so that is one to watch next month. also if states could force social media platforms to host content as opposed to be able to restrict it. we have a trio of cases about federal agencies and whether they could continue to wield significant power in making consequential decisions. this conservative court has

actually had some backlash against federal agencies. so we'll see if they take it even a step farther. so there is a lot to come on this docket. and so far, you know, only a handful of cases are lined up for this term so we are expecting more cases that we don't yet know about to be added to the supreme court term. and all of this, jess, as we're seeing approval ratings at historic lows for the supreme court. the gallup poll just did another poll before the start of the supreme court term and we're seeing that number continue to hover right around 41% of approval, a significant number of disapproval, 58%. so this court faces a big uphill battle just in winning the public's approval at this point. >> and to that end, they've had a lot of questions about ethics swirling around this court. how are they going to deal with that or do they plan to deal with that? >> well we've heard justices speak out in recent weeks. justice cavanaugh hopes there is

a reform and justice kagen wants the supreme court to adapt diversion of what the lower courts subscribe to. but we have seen numerous reports over the summer, most in particular about justice clarence thomas and some of the prive jet rides that he received from harlan crow in particular who is a wealthy donor to conservative causes. and then we've also seen stories about justice alito, some of the luxury travel that he's received from outside groups with -- that also promote conservative causes and even questions about justice sonia sotomayor, there was an a.p. report talking about how some of her staff pushed in of the facilities she was speaking at, public universities and libraries to purchase her books. so there is no formal ethics code for the supreme court justices. we'll see if one takes shape. but there has been a seemingly some resistance to it. >> that is so surprised me when i learned that they didn't have an ethics code. and yet the lower courts do.

we'll see if they do anything. jessica, thank you so much. and coming up, what do you have to do to win a nobel prize for medicine? we'll tell you.

the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework.

and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. this year's nobel prize in physiology or medicine was nearly two decades in the making and it helped prevent tens of millions of deaths from covid. >> it is a story scientists were awarded the prize for their research on messenger rna vaccines which they published back in 2005. they're work didn't get a lot of attention back then but laid the foundation for the pandemic. we all know mrna vaccines now.
