4:02 pm
>> and good evening. i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. the breaking news, three strikes trump's legal team back in corp. suffering another blow tonight with four days until trump's first criminal trial is set to begin. his team trying yet again to kick judge juan merchan off the case and while trump is trying every single trick in the book to get the hush money case delayed in new york he is also daring the judge to call them out for violating a gag order. today. trump fired up a whole number of posts online, including one which was a response to the disgraced attorney michel avinatan, formally represented stormy daniels. avinatan road about michael cohen and stormy daniels, two likely witnesses in trump's case and trump responded to that by saying, thank you to mychal avinatan for revealing the truth about to sleaze bags, who have with their lives it's and misrepresentations cost our country dearly lies. misrepresentations and sleaze bags according to outfront legal analyst ron goodman, who's with me in just a moment. this is a clear violation of
4:03 pm
trump's gag order, which prohibits him from quote, making or directing others to make public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable and this is concerning their potential participation in the investigation or in this criminal proceeding. now, both of the individuals mentioned there, stormy daniels, obviously, the center of this, michael cohen as well, sleaze bag lives misrepresentation, pretty obvious. there is the gag order that was put into place because the judge ruled trump's past attacks against jurors and prostate tutors were quote, threatening inflammatory, denigrating, and all of this has had a tangible real effect and real life for some of the people who will be testifying in this trial, including stormy daniels, who recently in a documentary spoke about some of the threats that she's received at one point, you recorded the last we'll yeah, i was completely sure that i was going to die. >> i'm desensitized to some, of it. but they've also become more violent with me. i'm more
4:04 pm
prepared with my legal knowledge, but i'm also tired, like my soul is so tight so i mean i don't know if i'm so much a warrior now as >> far as out of man. i'm out of we attacks against daniel's have not stopped. trump began attacking her and michael cohen. and remember, of course, as i said, cohen's central to this. he central because he was the person who set up the payments in order to silence daniels and other women >> i've spoken to alan weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with funding when you hear trump's voice in the background, that same alan that michael cohen refers to, alan weisselberg is trump's former chief financial officer >> and is now behind bars. it's in prison.
4:05 pm
>> he was sentenced just this morning to five months in prison after he admitted to lying on the stand in trump's new york fraud trial so just to all of this, somebody went to prison today because of all of this, paula reid is out front and all of the late developments tonight and paula trump failed again today to delay his hush money trial. i said three strikes. they refrained from saying you're out because i know they'll try to try anything. it seems they can if they can come up with it in these next days, what happened and what's his name? next move? >> you are and i also tried to stay away from sports analogies, but i can report that after seeing petitions denied on monday and tuesday, trump's lawyers were back before the court of appeals today arguing, yet again, that his hush money case should be delayed. this time, they said the delay would help them continue to litigate the issue of presidential immunity city and help them try to get the judge removed from the case now this was so extraordinary. this action on a day when the court was already really busy, that earn we learned that the basement of the courthouse had to be converted into a courtroom to hear these
4:06 pm
arguments. or new york colleagues report this is the fourth time that that kind of accommodation has ever been made. but ultimately, this was rejected and how the question is, okay, what else could they try? now in a statement tonight, the trump team said, the former president quotes legal team will continue fighting against this biden trial and all the other witch-hunts. of course, this is a case brought by the manhattan district attorney, has nothing to do with the justice apartment, the federal government or president biden, but if they want to continue to pursue this, the next stop would be the court of appeals in the state of new york. that is the highest court in the state. no, if they failed there, then aaron, they would have the option to possibly ask the supreme court to pause the hush money case while they contemplate this this issue of presidential immunity on april 25th, of course, the justices are going to hear arguments about that issue related to the federal election subversion case. that is something they could try. but at this point, aaron, it's unclear if the trump team is going to file any additional appeals of this week
4:07 pm
or before monday >> all right. paula, thank you very much. rocha is with me now, the former sdny division chief, ryan goodman are legal analyst and stephanie grisham, the former trump white house press secretary. so many three days, three efforts, three failures as paula said, unclear what else they could try to do, but she laid out one possibility that we could try to go to the appeals court, fail, try to go to the supreme court, tried to get a stay there on this case. while immunity is decided, is any of this realistic? >> i think there's nothing that they can do in the new york courts that will stop this i think the new york courts our repeatedly signalling both the judge, the trial judge, the appellate division has already done this and i believe the court of appeals will also ruling very quickly on these repeated motions and appeals. they are seemed to be a full steam ahead that this is a real trial date and it's sticking. i think the supreme court is always a wildcard here. i mean,
4:08 pm
we saw what happened with the immunity, right in the federal case. and so that one is a little bit harder to say that can't possibly happen if trump brings it to the supreme court or if his lawyers do but i really tried to stay away from protections when it comes to anything regarding former president trump, but i think the trials going on monday. yeah. ryan, do you think that there's supreme court wildcard is maybe describes it. is there any possibility that that that comes in? is that the at the final hair marry i think it is, but it's a real hail mary that's almost throwing the ball outside the stadium. >> i like it. we're using all the religious and sports analogies >> everything would go ahead. >> and partly because the immunity question that he's raising is not the same as the supreme court is currently deciding that he is immune from actually being tried from prosecution. he's really trying to because of presidential immunity, some evidence can't be used against me that's not the kind of case that the court would take a pretrial. so to have to be some things so
4:09 pm
bizarre for them to address it. and it's not even a ruling on the merits. the judge actually just said your motion is completely untimely. you had a time to do it, and then you waited until the last minute, even for me to suspect you have hello motives for doing it so they're actually have to be appealing like, oh, we should have been able to submit the motion not the question. i'm immunity itself. so that just seems he should throw the ball, but it's very unlikely that it lands. >> all right, so so stephanie, the context of this obviously trump's legal team knows these, these don't, these aren't serious legal moves. they know that they're doing it it obviously because he wants them to do it. so epis last moment, there's this frenetic desire to have this case delayed. so why is trump doing that? stephanie so this case, many people have said is probably the least damning against him. i don't disagree with that, however, this is very personal to him. this is an embarrassment to him four with his family and more importantly, with his wife
4:10 pm
melania. and i spent a ton of time with her when the news was breaking about stormy daniels when we were in the white house. and then of course with karen mcdougal, who was the former playboy playmate. when those came out that he allegedly had these affairs and she didn't take it lightly at all. we went to the state of the union separately. she refused to walk out to marine one with him because she did not want to be like hillary clinton and standing by her man she's a very independent and strong woman and i might add, there have been articles just recently that she's his secret weapon for this for this upcoming campaign. and so i would imagine that she is pushing him to make this stop. i would imagine that she will push him to go on the stand and defend himself because this is this is very very embarrassing for her. it's humiliating for her and i can guarantee you that she's not happy right now and that he's quite worried about that. >> all right. so him going on the stand, right >> in this >> case, obviously, he tries to make it about whether he did or did not sleep with stormy daniels this case is actually
4:11 pm
about hush budding payments, which were paid as to whether they were done to influence the election, right? it's about something else, but nonetheless, he, because of what stephanie said, is going to make it about that other thing, whether he did or didn't >> does he go on a >> stand? >> i think it'd be in deep trouble at one level. it actually doesn't matter whether or not they had an affair because it's all about whether or not they were trying to silence her writing. >> it's almost that yeah, the decir didn't right? >> yeah. and then we've seen him operate kind of on the stand under pressure in a couple of situations in which it didn't go well for him. so the e jean carroll deposition does not go well for him. he actually attacks the women lawyer who's representing e. jean carroll and he repeats the hollywood access tape in front of her in? a. way that's just very bad for him, very damaging for him. and then in the civil fraud case the judge actually says that when trump was on the stand, he ended up being non credible. he hurt his case. i think it'd be very bad for him for that reason. but for personal reasons, having to do with his wife trying to try to win public attention or the
4:12 pm
public story? for narrative that's a different matter, but for legal matter had been deep in deep trouble and that is ultimately what i mean, what ultimately matters when it comes to the outcome, mimi, there's also the issue of those, those social media posts and i mentioned one of them were trump in complimenting just stormy daniels, former lawyer michael avinatan, who has now gone full bore on team trump slams a stormy daniels and michael cohen as what were the word sleaze bags and liars and things like that. there's a little bit more that happened here when i spoke to the director of the new document or we just saw stormy daniels speaking in that new documentary. i want to play more from it in terms of what stormy daniels described as to what happened to her after trump was indicted in this case and she was the name at the center of it here. here's what happened >> back in 2018 that was stuff like liar gold digger. >> this time around is very different. it is direct threats it is. i'm going to come to your house and slit your throat. your daughter should be
4:13 pm
euthanized. they're not even using accounts they're using their real accounts so in that context, maybe today trump comes out and, and, and menchu says what he says on social media, is that a violation of the gag order? and he putting stormy daniels, who's obviously gonna be the witness at the center at one of the witnesses at the center of this in real danger? >> so i >> think the short answer is >> yes in my experience, when judges make orders, so specific as the judge did in this case, right? i mean, it wasn't just a you can't say anything about anyone which would be too broad. it was about the specific witnesses in the case and that you can't say things that will cause intimidation and that will prejudice the jury. i mean, that's the other part of this. yes. this can lead to increased threats which are horrible. the threat she's describing there against her, although i think those are going to happen regardless, but i'm sure there is the likely uptick in these after a post
4:14 pm
like this. but it also, i mean, we are now days away from a trial starting. the judge is trying to protect the integrity of the trial with the order. >> right. the witnesses need to be judged by the jury. that is starting to be chosen already because the questionnaires have gone out. the jurors need to judge the witnesses by their testimony in court with instructions from the judge. i mean, there's a process for a reason. and so trump coming out and calling them liars is about as stark of isolation as you can get >> and so stephanie trump knows that is he taunting the judge me? does he want to face possible jail and see if the judge will actually do it for violating these gag orders. >> he definitely does not want to face jail. i can guarantee you that, but as he taunting the judge absolutely. i mean, he's had how many gag orders already. i know we got fined like $10,000 for violating it one time, but it's almost like
4:15 pm
some of these judges are bending over backwards so that he's not looking persecuted where i believe i could be wrong. the legal experts might know oh better, but other people would have been thrown in jail by now for so defiantly going against these orders from a judge. so he thinks he's not going get any consequences because he hasn't so far, which is how trump lives. think about his whole life. he hasn't had any consequences so far. so he's going to keep doing it absolutely. until there is an actual consequences like being put in jail for a day. >> stephanie, mimi ryan. thank you all very much. >> next, running for >> cover speaker mike johnson heading to mar-a-lago after suffering a devastating blow to his leadership today at the hands of marjorie taylor greene well, it stop her crusade to take him down. >> special >> four, we've got new reporting on her plans next, plus breaking news. cnn's kfile, uncovering a new robocall from lara trump, who is now in charge other republican national committee >> we all know the problem. no
4:16 pm
photo ids, unsecure ballot drop-off, math mailing of ballot, and voter rolls, chock-full of these people a non-citizen, are just a few examples of the massive fraud that took place >> obviously that's totally false. she knows it. >> and now foreign exclusive for the first time ever, we take you on what of america's most powerful bombers for nonstop provocative 33, our mission near russia, china, and north korea the concrete has red light once again, here >> anderson cooper three 60 tonight at eight on the ahead. >> sail through the heart of historic cities and unforgettable scenery with viking unpack once, and get closer to iconic landmarks. local life, and cultural treasures >> because when you >> experienced europe on a

4:21 pm
tonight's speaker mike johnson suffering another major blow to his leadership at the hands of members of his own party 19 house republicans joining democrats to tank a bill that johnson had pushed a bill that reauthorized as the us government surveillance power. and donald trump was the one who put the nail in the coffin today tweeting before the vote to kill the bill this comes as dances trying to already in the midst of a fight to keep his job, his speakership is congresswoman marjorie taylor greene is leading an effort to oust him and a tense 70 minute meeting between green and johnson. they'll 70 minutes. green made no promises. she said to stand down under threat our melanie zanona is out front on capitol hill with new reporting tonight and melanie, another major defeat for johnson today in the context of marjorie taylor greene's effort to oust him, how weak is he right now? >> well, this is a major setback for mike johnson and also for the legislation itself, especially with johnson's leadership really under a microscope right now. and i, johnson did say that they were going to go back to the drawing board house. republicans did meet in the capital earlier this evening.
4:22 pm
they have not come up with a resolution yet when potential option is to just pass a clean extension with the support of democrats. but johnson has got to tread very carefully here because he is already in hot water with hardline conservatives making matters worse for johnson is that this failed floor vote on that faizov bill you talked about has really only renewed the bidder in fighting inside the house. republican conference. in fact, i'm told that one republican stood up during the meeting this evening and called for retribution for his gop colleagues who vote against key procedural votes. it's unclear what that would look like, but certainly gop leaders share in the frustrations right now. and it is just another example of how republicans have struggled to govern with their razor-thin majority. >> all right, so melanie is also just the whole cloak and dagger that's going on here, right? hours before that vote went down and johnson had that massive failure he said in a surprise announcement that he's going down to mar-a-lago to hold a news conference with trump on friday and the topics is going to election integrity, right? so, you know, trying to
4:23 pm
check every single possible box he could with trump, who was buying, killing the bill that hurt him, that hurt johnson today and we don't know whether trump is behind marjorie taylor greene's crusade, dow's johnson or not, we know she said she spoke to them, but we don't know more than that. what's going on here as you've learned? >> yeah, everyone wants to get in trump's ear right now. my colleague, kristen holmes, and i actually the first to report that johnson was going to head down to florida on friday to do this press conference? so-called election integrity with donald trump, we should point out that johnson was one of those members who tried to help overturn the 2020 election by signing onto a lawsuit to throughout legitimate election results, which was ultimately rejected affected by the supreme court, but clearly johnson is trying to stay in trump's good graces, show unity with him and highlight an issue that the former president cares deeply about, especially no coincidence coming amid this threat to johnson's speakership. and meanwhile, you have marjorie taylor greene, who also said she spoke to donald trump this week. she declined to say though how he feels about her effort to oust johnson on the house floor, but
4:24 pm
i am told that a number of people have asked trump to step in and support him, or at least say on the sidelines of this potential speakership fights. so clearly a recognition that down trump could hold a lot of sway in this debate. aaron all right, melanie, thank you very much. and as this press conference is coming up, a between mike johnson and donald trump on election integrity. we do have breaking news tonight on that topic say in quotes, massive fraud, because these are the words that actually went out in a robocall that was done on behalf of the republican national committee's new co-chair, lara trump. lara is, of course, former president trump's daughter-in-law. >> and the >> call was uncovered by our own kfile. listen to what he found >> we all know the problems. no photo ids unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots, and voter rolls, chock-full of deceased people and non-citizens are just a few examples both of the massive fraud that took place if democrats have their way, your vote could be canceled out by someone who isn't even an american citizen. i'm sure you
4:25 pm
agree with co-chair trump's that we cannot allow the chaos and questions of the 2020 election to ever happen again. >> just to be clear, obviously, those things that she lifts off not not the case. chock-full of noncitizens and we all know the debunking of the dead people on the roles and states like georgia. well, this is all at the direction of lara trump, the rnc is now aggressively spreading massive fraud claims about the 2020 election. despite these claims consistently being debunked, it's a significant shift in messaging from the rnc tonight under new leadership, cnn's kfile, senior editor andrew kaczynski is here to walk us through his new reporting. so andrew, who exactly was the rnc targeting with this call and how widespread was it's receipt this call went out to 145,000 different phones and i think it's important to note that this is somebody lara trump who just two weeks ago was >> saying that vote by mail, republicans should embrace vote by mail. they should embrace early voting. and now we see
4:26 pm
this call where they are essentially feeding people lies about the 2020 election that dead people were voting, that undocumented immigrants were voting that vote by mail is not safe and lara trump, like her father-in-law, has a very, very long record of pushing these false election claims that we went through four years of her podcast asked and campaign show, and we found time and again that she pushed these claims. i'm gonna walk people through a few of them. she said, quote, the democrats, it cheated in the 2020 election. she urged congress not to certify the january 6. on january 6, 2021. she said she did not quote, believe biden got 81 million votes and then she made this rather odd claim in an episode where she said the odds of biden winning and all of the swing states in 2020 as the votes were counted, overnight was quote one in 1 quadrillion to the fourth
4:27 pm
power, and she did not cite a statistical analysis for that. so this was really a common refrain for her. take a listen to one of those comments on her podcast we cannot leave this to chance. >> we got to make up so much for all the cheating. we know the democrats love to do that. we need to go into this thing with such a big leaf that they're like, oh, my god, we can't do a 3am spike with this. we're never going to make it. so yeah, we're going to be out there hustling. we're going to be out there working hard we're gonna be out there trying to save this country >> amazing when she says all that. and in fact, when you compare some of these comments and what the robocall, right with those false claims and totally focused on a stolen rigged election 15 days ago. she said the republican party is totally past disputing the 2020 presidential election. this wasn't going to be what it was about at all. and i know you found important soundbite here. let me play that is it
4:28 pm
going to be the position of the rnc in 2024 that the 2020 election was not fairly decided or that it was stolen somehow. >> well, i think we're past that. i think that's in the past. we learned a lot certainly we took a lot of notes right now. we have 23 states that have 78 lost suits in these states to ensure that it is harder to cheat and easier to vote. and every single person, whether you're a republican or democrat, should want that. we want fairness and transparency in our elections. >> and as you pointed out, she was championing mail-in voting. she was doing all of those things in a few days later. she saying mail-in voting was part of fraud and she's telling vote as the election was stolen. so not at all saying we're going to move past it yeah, that's right. and it's not like >> trump is backing down from his false election claims either. and why is she doing this? i want people to take a look at this pole, right here, 71% of republicans in our september cnn poll said that they think the election was not
4:29 pm
legitimate but then you look at this other number here for moderates and it's almost, it's almost reversed, 70% do think the election was legitimate. so now they are stuck in this place where they've convinced their base that the election was stolen, they have to they want to say face, they have to go with these claims, but they also want to have some sort of legitimate you see what the general public, which clearly does not believe this, right? >> all right. well, thank you very much andrew kaczynski of k file, and outfront. now, andrew yang, the former 2020 democratic candidate for president. now the co-founder of the forward party. and as seen as has reported, he was on and on independent 2024 candidate robert f. kennedy jr. shortlist for the beep vp slot. so sitting here and hearing indications, dk vowels, exclusive reporting robocall saying the election was stolen from the rnc, which now is headed by trump's daughter-in-law how do you make sense of all that?
4:30 pm
>> oh, well, you saw the number is a majority of republican base voters believe the election stolen. so if you're trying to get energy and donations, this is one way to go. i obviously disagree with that depiction of the 2020 election because anyone who is investigated it has not found that those claims are true, but it's one reason why trump wanted her as the new head of the rnc where we're seeing the early impact already >> and so part of the context here is you talk about they want to bring more, they're trying to get raise money, get their base energized. okay. >> that >> makes sense, especially in the context of what we've seen with the money so far, that that trump's campaign is dramatically lagging the biden campaign in terms of fundraising. so 93 million cash on hand for trump, as i understand it, legal bells mounting every single day biden has 192 2 million in cash on hand. yeah. >> i mean, that is an epic gap. perhaps larger than anything
4:31 pm
anyone can imagine. >> but you think that that >> lead is actually totally missing the point. >> how come you have to see how the money translates into votes, particularly in the six swing states among independents than genuine undecided, which is a relatively small sliver of the population and so the money can be spent on tv ads and we're seeing whether that's going to move the needle. the money can be spent on field offices, which they're starting to do in the swing states. >> but really >> the question in my mind is whether the money is going to be spent effectively targeting the actual swing voters which tv commercials are a broad brush like you're gonna get a lot the biden campaign spending money right now is on the broader brush. >> yes and i was with a major company tech ceo and we all remember around the obama years, it seemed like the democrats had an advantage in terms of technology, which now translates into the effective allocation of resources. and this tech ceo believes that republicans maybe a head this cycle based on what he's seeing, he has actually gone to the biden campaign. the
4:32 pm
democrats and said guys let me help and he got a little bit of a brush off, honestly, which made him very, very anxious and nervous. and one thing i'm here to say is like, look democrats, some of you have my info and number reach out to me. i'll connect you to this tech ceo because the money does not mean anything unless it actually translates into swing voters in the swing states in november. so >> walk me through how technology could decide if biden wins or loses this november, i understand the point about television ads being an old school broad brush way totally get it. but what is the technology? do you do? i mean, i remember even hearing with the trump campaign back when they were all those investigations into cambridge analytica and all of that about the fact that they were effectively targeting the way technology can home in on individuals and test out multiple messages and say, okay, we'll try this, we'll try this, we'll try this in as soon as you find a message that works, then you expand it beyond i like whether people click on it or read or click on the donate button or something off of that then it goes an algorithm me, they can
4:33 pm
literally measure how long you're spending on the message. certainly they can see whether you're taking an action. so what they do is they take independence swing voters in wisconsin, they try out five messaging is as soon as they find one that clicks and they expanded. if it works, they expanded more this is the most effective way to actually use your resources because you can actually move someone off the fence into your column in a place that's going to matter and the republicans seem to have an edge on this as far as micro, micro targeting >> and by the way, this >> is the most efficient way you can spend the money. i mean, i love tv ads i think field offices are great but this could be the margin of victory or defeat in a close election. and we all know this is going to be close. >> what is i mean, 10,000 votes and georgia, arizona last time that rfk junior at play to razor-thin would would seem to be an understatement. all right. andrew yang. thank you very much. >> next and outfront exclusive so if we're gonna take you a board, the most powerful us bomber as it embarks on one of the longest military missions in the world
4:34 pm
