>> new this morning trump attorney who was a key witness for years classified documents case, is now out of the fold. why evan corcoran exit is causing discomfort inside the trump orbit? donald trump is stoking fears of christianity is under attack. now, new, please, from pastors speaking out against christian nationalism in a brand new survey of ceo was that shows a growing number. think i should not even be here today and you should be embed snoring major developments and the push for for de workweek. kate is out. she's smart. i'm john berman with sara sidner. this is a special friday edition of cnn news central new overnight, a significant shakeup on donald
5:02 am
trump's legal team, a key attorney in the classified documents case, evan corcoran, is no longer representing the former president. the departure could become a major headache for trump prosecutors could call corporate as a key witness if the case goes to trial. corker became a central figure in the indictment because of his meticulous phyllis notes and memos about his interactions with trump been one trump asked corcoran if he is found classified documents in whether it is bad or good word of corporis departure comes just it ahead of a hearing today for two of trump's co-defendants in the classified documents case, trump aide walt nauta and mar-a-lago employee carlos de oliveira both hope, uh, judge will dismiss the obstruction charges against them. cnn's kaitlan, poland's with us this morning to explain the departure of evan corcoran haleine john, it's a long time coming in. a lot of ways. evan corcoran was the lead attorney for a long time in the investigations around donald trump, both the mar-a-lago
5:03 am
documents investigation and the january 6 investigation he developed all kinds of institutional knowledge about what the prosecutor here's was were gathering. he was there and he was taking notes for his conversations with donald trump. >> the >> split that eventually culminated now in kaitlan collins reporting that he is formally left the trump team and that circle around the former president that began when the justice department wanted his information to make him a witness in the mar-a-lago documents investigation. they pursued it in this extraordinary court fight, getting him ultimately to talk to a grand jury and to turn over his notes and records of his conversations with trump something that he shed shed light on was what trump was saying as the justice department, the federal government were demanding that he returned classified records that were in his possession after the presidency. corcoran remembered and wrote down, took
5:04 am
notes of an interaction with trump after he searched a storage room and found a significant number, dozens of classified records, put them in an envelope and was ready to turn them back over to fbi agents who were visiting mar-a-lago in june of 2022, trump said to him, did you find anything? is it? bad? good. >> and then evan corcoran made said that trump made a plucking motion and said to him, why don't you take them with you to your hotel room and if there's anything really bad in their pluck it out ultimately, evan corcoran was not privy to the full amount of records that were being kept at mars our logo at the resort. there were boxes moved out of that storage room. he was sent into search and ultimately, this became a key part of the obstruction case against former president donald trump. but john, there's gonna be a big fight in court over whether evan corcoran will be able to testify and share what he nose from that episode in the
5:05 am
mar-a-lago investigation, if and when donald trump goes to trial in this case. so now quite a marker to see him leaving this legal team. finally, after hanging back after these issues, were all, he was forced to provide them publicly. >> yeah, quite a marker as you say, because you can imagine what a compelling witness he could be potentially kaleb, poland's great to see you this morning. thank you very much, sir. >> it is a remarkable development in this case, joining us now cnn senior legal analyst and former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york elie honig. thank you so much. i know you've been up late getting up early. we really appreciate you. >> can you >> just give us an idea of just how significant it is that one of trump's key attorneys, evan corcoran, has now left the trump team well, sarah evan corcoran is now a position to be a crucial witness for jack smith's prosecution team. and if you look at the indictment, essentially, he's the fulcrum
5:06 am
of the obstruction of justice counts now, to be clear jack smith's theory is not that evan corcoran is guilty or liable for obstruction rather than donald trump and others used him as a means to commit obstruction for example, at one point, they gave him they put him in a storage room and they said, okay, you're going to do the attorney search of this storage room in response to a subpoena, evan corcoran did that search and then he certified back to doj. we only found so many classified documents. what evan corcoran apparently he did not know. is that trump had 30 some boxes moved out of that storage room before he had even corporate search the boxes. so corcoran is going to be a crucial player here for the justice department's prosecution team. and he could be a really difficult witness for the defense of cross-examine because he doesn't want to testify for the prosecution. he's a defense witness. no defense witnesses. defense lawyer is ever happy about becoming a witness against his own client. >> ellie, can you just remind us of how corporate and became one of the key prosecution witnesses because it was
5:07 am
remarkable ruling and i'm usual ruling to get us to this its place, correct >> yeah. order narrowly an attorney would not be testifying about communications that he had with his client that is protected by the attorney-client privilege. but jack smith's team went through this extensive legal process to do what we call piercing. the attorney-client privilege, meaning to break through it and in order to do that, jack smith's team had to go to a judge, not the same gadjo as the case. now, this was a judge who was overseeing the grand jury part of it, but jack smith's team had to convince that, judge, that the communications trump was making with his attorney were in furtherance of a crime. again, not necessarily the evan corcoran was part of that crime, but the trump's communications to him we're part of a crime and we had a federal judge say, i find by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning more likely than not, that yes. those communications were part of a crime and therefore, you can break through that privilege and sara, that's exactly why it's so rare that you ever see a situation like this where a defense lawyer ends up taking
5:08 am
the stand against his former client in the very case. yeah it's just fascinating. >> could >> there be any kind of privilege issue that prevents corcoran from testifying? >> while so donald trump's defense team can try to re raise the appellate issue that excuse me, the communications issue that we just discussed because like i said, the ruling breaking through the privilege was made by a different judge at a different phase of the proceeding. so i fully expect donald trump's defense team to now go in front of judge cannon, the district judge who's handling this case and say that was a wrong ruling. the privilege never should have been broken you need to put it back in place if they win on that, that's going to take evan corcoran out as a witness, but i don't think they will win and on that for the reasons we just discussed, he would be a that would be a huge blow to the prosecution as he is a key witness. >> elie honig. i really appreciate you coming in this morning. thank you so much. john. >> all right. one of the

biggest aftershocks yet, vice president harris is in arizona today to talk about abortion after the state chose to uphold an abortion and banned from the 1800s. >> one of the most >> brazen betrayals in us history that is what prosecutors are saying about a former diplomat accused of being a spy. we are standing body here from that diplomat in court today donald trump leading into the narrative, the christianity is under attack in the united states. now some church leaders are fighting back on the threat of christian nationalism to >> use christianity to control that. if you you don't see christianity in christ the way we see, and then you are not truly christian. and if you are not truly christian, then you are not truly american america is countered as christians are part of it, christian nationalism is not christian at all >> the lead with jake tapper to the head four and cnn

5:15 am
>> if people who are completely energized and motivated about this issue, i talked to a lot of people who say no matter where they fall, they're wanting to get involved, they're wanting to volley when tier to donate money to sign petitions. and so it just depends exactly who you talk to, but the people that i talked to in terms of proponents of abortion rights in this state are very focused on a ballot measure that would guarantee abortion rights in the state's constitution. and so what they're saying is that they're trying to collect as many signatures there is this possible to have this issue on the ballot in november. everyone has their eyes in november here in arizona, the group running this effort is called arizona for abortion access. and they say that after tuesday's state supreme court ruling, they saw an increase in the number of people that we're wanting to sign this petition that we're wanting to get get involved, to go out and motivate other people. take a listen to what the spokesperson for the group told me >> people are going door-to-door in their
5:16 am
neighborhood. people are tabling outside of their favorite local coffee shops. this is not something that appeals to only democrats that republicans, independence, women, and their loved ones believe in this and want want to see this on the ballot >> now i also talked to the group. it goes too far and they're saying exactly that this ballot measure goes too far, that they don't believe voters are being educated on the language of this ballot measure. but overall, this is a community that really is looking forward to november for because they believe that this is an issue that will be on the ballot in the meantime, you have abortion providers here for already struggling who say this is a huge issue for them. i spoke to one of the providers who told me she's one of eight people who perform abortions here in arizona. she says she was angry and frustrated and look, this ban actually a calls for a prison time for abortion providers. so they would be directly impacted by this, the
5:17 am
provider that i talked to told me i know i'm not going to go to jail because that's not what i'm going to be doing over the next couple of months, but i will continue to fight. she wants to stay here in arizona and said this is a fight that will exceed pass november drawing that's a very real issue for a lot of people on the ground there now, camila bernal. thank you so much for being there. appreciate it >> prosecutors call it one of the most brazen betrayals and the history of the us fore service today, the former us dipl and accused of being a spy will enter a plea in course. and we've got new reporting on the funeral arrangements for a o.j. simpson houston, you go for the debris in this guy. >> parents, husbands and wives gone. >> if you work in spaceflight, this this is the worst possible thing i can never happen >> thousands of pieces of debris are now pieces to a puzzle. i should have that test on day one. >> i wish i could've done something differently what i can't undo that, you can just

5:23 am
he is changing his plea from not guilty to guilty. and in exchange, we expect that federal prosecutors will drop several of the charges against manuel russia. he was facing seeing a number of charges, including being an agent, an illegal agent of a foreign government, wire fraud, and lying to investigators. now the details of the plea agreement are still not known, and it is still a mystery at this hour. exactly just how russia helped the cuban government while he worked at the state department four over two decades. the details really were not laid out in the indictment against him, though prosecutors did stress that roshan held a top level high security clearance and that he had access to top secret information aza, the us ambassador to bolivia and the early 2000s, as well as when he worked at the us interests section in havana, cuba, back in the early 1990 these i'll prosecutors believed that russia acted on behalf of the
5:24 am
cuban government sets at least 1981. though it is important to note here that he was not charged she has not been charged with espionage. all of this really came to a head in december when he was arrested after undercover fbi employees opposed as members of the cuban intelligence services, and they messaged allegedly message rochelle on whatsapp, trying to make contact with him the two sides met here in miami where they had a number of conversations where russia, according to prosecutors explained how he was this career service deploy hello, matt, and also held this cover as apparently a an agent of the cuban government. throughout their conversations here to miami, a russia at several times times have said that the work that he had done strengthen the revolution, he referred to the us as the enemy, and he had some words of praise for former leader fidel castro. again, we expect this
5:25 am
plea change to take place this afternoon and that he will be sentenced shortly, right after sarah. and you can guess that there will have to be major cooperation on his part to get that plea agreement through its 20 years of a diplomat and now this wow, carlos suarez, thank you so much for that story. all right. just ahead, i got a question for you. raise your hand. if you want to work one less day a week, everyone in here has their hands up and i'm going to put my hand out to that actually a serious consideration for some major us employers. the reason why coming up every weekday morning, cnn's five things has what you need to get going with your day. it's the five essential stories of the morning in five minutes or less, cnn's five things with kate bolduan, streaming weekdays starting april 15 on macs >> verizon, small business days are coming april 22 to the 28th. get our free tech check, and special offers in deals

5:32 am
new benefits out its report with a recommendation after looking at the quality of life in the military, this came out after concern during is about recruitment that panel from the house armed services committee is led by the subcommittee chair don bacon of the brassica and the ranking member, chrissy houlihan from pennsylvania. they are both with me now and i'm not going to fly anytime we can speak to a democrat and republican at the same time, i feel like an angel gets its this rep. houlihan. let me just start with you. you call ts one of the most exciting in days of the 118th congress that might not be sh a high bar, but be that as it may. are you so excited? what's in >> what we have to celebrate this, thiss, as you ntioned, an example of us at our best working together, democrats and republicans it's serve us and who are willing to die fous, those men and women who are in uniform. and this isn't really exciting culmination of nine months worth of work together report that is expansive. you
5:33 am
mentioned pay, but it also is spousal employment. it's also childcare. it's health care. it's how using access, all of those things that allow for us to honor correctly those who serve us every dayn unorm. and i'm ve, very excited about the opportunities to follow through on is now jeremyacon, what else n this in when do you ink you can get pass through to identify a problem we have a t of our listen lks around barracks, e dormitors are getting failing grades are spouses or the leading demographic in america for being being unemployed. i just go on and on. so what we recommended was a 15% pay raise for y1hrough y4, significant pay rates that will get them above that threshold. so they won't have to rely on snap or food banks and we're gonna put a lot of money into dormitories and barracks the military has been subtracting 5% from their housing allowance i don't think that's right. we authorize it, allowed it to happen. we're going to shut the door on that
5:34 am
and make sure that people are getting 100% of their housing allowance. we're going to work on daycare. i try get moving more workers there so we can have 100% occupancy there right now, we're limited by how many people are working. we're going to work on health care people shouldn't have to wait two months to give specialty care. for example, we're gonna continue to work with their chambers of commerce to help get our spouses employed for those who want to be right when they do a new move. so there's a lot of things in this report and i'm excited to be a part of it by the way, i want to praise my my co-leader here, across houlihan and stuff. fantastic job. it was a total parson effort and we're very proud of it. >> so i mean, i can think of a day not long ago where you guys would come on this morning and it would be a sure thing that this would get passed through i don't know what a sure thing is anymore unnecessarily in congress. so rep. houlihan, how confident are you that you can get all these measures? grew >> pretty darn confident and let me tell you why that nda,
5:35 am
which is the annual defense authorization act, has happened consistently for more than six it's decades and that's one of the very few i can't even name another piece of legislation where that is the case. and so i have hope it going in that we have opportunities, but also our chairman and our ranking member. both democrats and republicans have supported the work of this panel and has committed that it will go in and basically as the founding body or the grounding work of this year's nda. and that's a huge commitment. i got a chance to present it to our caucus yesterday. the preliminary founding phat findings of it, and i think it was very well received when you're talking about people who are on snap benefits as, as don mentioned, who are unemployed at the rate of 20 something percent. i think it really resonated it's with people particularly at this time when we are in peril, i think from a national security standpoint, look, we're lucky. we got you both together this morning, not just because you're a democrat and republican because you actually have a vote on an important rule in just a few minutes, it has to do with three
5:36 am
authorizing the fisa surveillance. chevron bacon to you look, i mean, this rule got sunk the other day and on the subject of things that almost never happened, that used to almost never happened. how much control do you think that speaker johnson has over your conference this morning >> well, the norms have been degraded. unfortunately for 15 years. i believe we've never had a rule vote go down when you had a majority of the majority for a speaker, you've never taken how the speaker we never had to vacate the chair that's happened. now we have folks campaigning against each other. the norms have been violated here and i don't think it's been good for the institution probably it's not good for either party frankly. i think today that we're bringing this bill back up it's needed. i believe that people were confused between southern to fisa versus article one five so two different things. we need to have fisa to track foreign terrorists to know what putin is doing, what present git's doing, it's in our national security interests that we get this done we
5:37 am
built-in 51 additional protections to protect folks fourth amendment rights. so this is a better bill is a good bill. we need to get it done by once he majority and the end with a one seat majority with 218 or 219 boats is very tough to keep control. this conference. i think speaker johnson is doing the very bustos. can qarrah just very quickly, you said people are confused about what the fisa 702 does. do you think they're confused because donald trump tweeted yesterday that fisa devin o2 is used to spy on him when it wasn't 702 at all >> i think there was a bit of that. he was referring to actually article one fisa, which is different and i figured it was a chance for us to educate everyone. seven up to pfizer is targeting foreign enemies, adversaries. article one is used by the fbi, or doj for investigations and i think it is confusing because they both have the word fisa and so i feel like we've cleared that up, but i'm not sure how this
5:38 am
vote will go under what all i'm voting that's all i can worry about this bell must pass it. >> it's essential. >> go on >> i've just was saying that this bill of must pass. i'm a member of the intelligence committee and this has been the bulk of the work of this committee. this last year or so and i'm very worried grade that we are not going to be able to vote for the bill. and so i'm looking forward for the opportunity for it to finally cross the finish line the fourth time is the charm. i hope. >> all right. i represented a bag and in rep. houlihan really, i can't thank you. both for coming on and talking about this bipartisan effort are doing for us troops. thank you so much for being here >> thank you. >> thank you >> it is nice to see cooperation for wants. thank you, john. >> all right. an alarming warning from the cdc as measles cases continue to surge, the disease by the way, has been considered eliminated here in the for more than two decades but that could soon change because of these recent spikes in cas across the entire country, cnn's jacqueline howard is join now,
5:39 am

stronger implemention of border policy and it' interestinwhere we found it. it's heren the next ko side i'd national guards truck park. we've g mexican army national guard as well as migration officis who have stepped up patrols a significant amount. now, what are they trying to do on the mexico side and particularly well you have images like this and we can show you what we saw yesterday. large crowds that as you see in some of the drone footage, are between two massive walls, we should point out there already the us so they've aeady crossed from mex mexican officials have stepped up where the put some of these national guard troops were they've put some of the mexicaarmy soldier first as well as migration officials start deterring some of these migrants from crossing a lot of them will cut using smugglers some portions of the wall so that they can then go through or they'll climb over using ladders and they can do this on average in about a minute, 20 seconds. now, what we've also seen is some increased frustration i'm part of mexican residents, people who
5:58 am
live on the border, and certainly we've seen that on the us side, we've covered that in san diego county where people who have property that goes right up to the border with mexico oh, are seeing the floods of migrants come through? well, on the mexican side, here we have found that same frustration and i want to show you some of these images. you'll see some national guards members from the mexican side who had been called to patrol neighborhoods. so imagine just regular suburban communities. and this was one of those where you have smugglers who will come at all hours and they're often cartel back. and they will drop off groups of migrants who will then go through these neighborhoods and go on to people's patios into their backyards and then jumped the fence to get into the us. so they have now john troops going through these neighborhoods to patrol and stop these smugglers from coming through in for now, it seems the numbers are showing that it's seeming to work even called. >> great to have you there in an interesting new formative perspective from where you're standing and t1. thank you very much. >> sarah. >> all right. you may like
