12:03 pm
selection in dond trump's historic hush monetrial.nd it's in fl swg. the judge just admonisng trump and his fense team aft saying trump was ote,udibly utting and gesturing he had a potential juror during questioning. the former president is facing 34 felony counts for an alleged hush money scheme to conceal potential damaging information from voters. back in 2016. >> he is also facing dozens of potential jurors >> right now. the focus is on a subset of 18. and as expected, some social media posts by those perspective, jurors are now in pla le's check back in with en an chor and chief legal anysts, ura coates, who's been outsi of laura, it seems like they came back from watch and things have gotten heated they absolutely have jessica thinking about all that's at stake here now for anyone whohought that social media >> posts we're not going to be
12:04 pm
a part of this selection process. well then you are sadly mistaken. they have been now pivotal role at this point in time. it's almost like a tale of two or three different social media posts. okay. is one-by-one jurors have now been called the task about post that they have de either recently or in the distant past. and i can turn to kara scannell here on this because the first one we heard about was a juror who was a woman who apparently posted something on facebook of a celebration in the year 2020. we don't know whether it was around the election time or what she was questioned about, whether it was bias. she said no, which is a celebration. she was foaming from afar and new york, she was not released. but the second juror different story. yeah, that's second jurors, a male juror, and he they had found trump's team had found posts from him back in 2017 on one of the posts he was criticizing the travel ban and the lawfulness other than another, he said, quote, lock him up. and so the judge said that he didn't have a problem with it. this post about the travel ban, but he said because he's saying lock him up and that is exactly
12:05 pm
what could potentially happen in this case. he decided to strike that juror for cause, but it was also in this process that the judge said, you know, we're not going to do this with every juror. you have to trump i've seen you have to find a respectful way to bring this up during the questioning of the jurors. if you know their identities, what have you found about them and find a way to ask them about some of these posts. so they don't end up going through every single der, social shall media history here. i mean, there was a third post that came up where a different this juror had her family member had posted several years ago about a photo of trump and obama in which the caption was, aren't this isn't what i thought they meant when they said orange is the new black. the judge saying, then in that case, this is not this this wasn't the juror. this was a juror's husband and he said, if this is the best that you have on this person, i think they can be fair and impartial. judge, really trying to try to prevent this from becoming a runaway train where they go through everyone social
12:06 pm
media history but he did agree to strike one of the jurors for cause. and as he said, if you have the goods, he wants to see it. >> interesting because you think about this tension between wanting individually pulled jurors aside outside of the presence of other jurors asking about deeply personal or things they don't want to express front of others some of the judge now is saying, here's a timed me judicial economy. we're going to have you address this and the already pre-selected amount of time, 20 minutes is around two now, about these questions. but just think about this. this is information that these inner there's a prosecutors and defense attorneys would have about these jurors. they must know their name, their social media handles as well. able to look through all these things. they are going to that level of granular detail to figure out, do they have a stealth juror among them? >> right exactly. they want to know if this person has privately expressing views that they're not willing to publicly say in the courtroom among their peers because that's where the bulk of this questioning is taking place, sitting side-by-side, someone and having to say in front of a full packed courtroom knowing
12:07 pm
that there are also reporters there. can you be fair and impartial? is someone going to say that they can't interesting for one of the jurors, the one who was excused, he was asked about the post and he said he didn't remember posting it in now, about seven or eight years ago but the judge still funding it was not appropriate that he served and then he could put his billings aside. he said as well, which of course is the criteria normally the dodgers usually asking well, in spite of this, can you put your funds aside and follow the law and the instructions the judge did not seem to have it for that one because the frame is locked him up, which is an ironic thing to say, because trump campaign primarily on lock her up that time, meaning of course, will reclaim going forward and thinking about this, this is really a quickly moving process now with the judge is trying to make sure that this does a very tight line that's walked. but i've most intrigued by what donald trump's reaction has been to all of this because earlier this morning, of course, jessica, he saw a gentle juror who is excuse because he thought he could not be
12:08 pm
impartial and was leaning in favor of donald trump now, he has one juror excuse because of a lock him up posting that he doesn't recall. and two others as bookends here that had posting that he wanted to have that person shot, but we're not you wonder how he's feeling in this courtroom, like an average defendant waiting to figure out who will choose and decide his fate >> yeah, his fate is in their hands or i'm laura coates and kara scannell for us in new york outside the courtroom thanks so much. boris >> let's discuss all of this with cnn legal analyst and a former prosecutor in the manhattan da's office karen friedman, agnifilo karen, thanks so much for being with us. first, your reaction to the judge's warning of donald trump, but what do you make of how that transpired? >> so for judges in general, the third rail is, if anyone starts to make the jury feel any kind of intimidation whatsoever, the jury has to be protected at all costs and not just for safety reasons, but
12:09 pm
also, you want to make sure that they're predict is not influenced by anything other than the evidence in the facts of the case. so you saw that donald trump touched that third rail by making gestures and utterances within 12 feet of the jury and the judge gave a stern warning that you'll see that over and over again. trump can make comments about the judge, about the court, about the deray, but you do anything involving the jurors you're going to see a very swift reaction. >> obviously, cameras are not allowed in that courtroom, but it seems that trump was reacting to questions that the juror was being asked about her social media post shortly after it was announced that joe biden the 2020 election she described that as just a new york celebratory moment. she did not believe that that revealed any kind of bias. the judge said that he believed that she provided reasonable explanations do you agree with judge much sean, there
12:10 pm
absolutely. >> that's the thing. i think one of the jurors said, josh steinglass, the prosecutor said believability versus likability. right. and that's what that's what you want a juror, it doesn't matter if you like someone or not. you you want to know whether they can believe a witness, right. or believed the evidence and the facts. and one of the jurors said feelings are not facts, and that's the kind of juror you're looking for is one who can put any feelings aside and look at the facts. and so just the fact that they were celebrating a new york moment certainly doesn't show anything. the judge found at least about a bias that would make it so that they can't be fair and impartial. >> you've been involved in a lot of jury selections in manhattan, and i'm wondering what you think is unique about jury pools. there. that might play a role in this selection process >> well, look, it's no, it's
12:11 pm
no secret that manhattan skews highly democrat and trump has been making many motions to recuse the judge and change the venue. so because saying he can't get a fair trial because of the manhattan jurors and when you look at what happened during jury selection, they call 100 people in roughly about half of them said, i can't be fair and impartial and the rest are really i think surprisingly honest and saying, i don't really have these strong opinions that make it so that i can't be fair so much so that these challenges that are happening, that there are two types of challenges. they're the ones that are four cause meaning that through questioning, they will be excused. and those are unlimited. okay. so that's why people that's where you're going to see the lawyers fighting to get someone challenged four cause meaning they've expressed some bias
12:12 pm
that makes them makes them not be able to be fair in this case. and the lawyers on both sides want four cause challenges because you don't want to waste your peremptory, which are your now for no matter what, for whatever reason you want challenges and you only get ten of those each. and the prosecutor here did something very interesting in the first 12 jurors. they didn't have any four cause challenges for them that that kept the 12 jurors in the box and they didn't have any preps, so they were saying you know what, i'm good with these 12 jurors. that's a chest move on their part because it forces it forces the defense. they only have ten challenges if they don't like those jurors and they don't get any four cause challenges. you could have two jurors right there. so i think could use all ten and then they're stuck with those two. and then who? wherever else comes in, who could, you could like even less so there's this whole gamesmanship is, i don't like this guy, but i don't know who's coming down the pipe, so i don't want to use them all
12:13 pm
up because i want to be able to save them for the future panel. we're going to have a jury this week. i think it's going much faster than i thought oh, karen friedman, agnifilo. we appreciate the perspective. thanks for being with us jessica while donald trump has stuck in that manhattan courtroom, president joe biden is campaigning in the swing state of pennsylvania last hour, the president pitching is economic pan, and >> plan in his hometown of scranton by drawing a sharp contrast between when his economic views and those of his republican rival, biden also zeroing in on how he differs with trump on tax policy by insisting that trump's what he calls mar-a-lago vision is out of touch we go the best way to build an economy should the middle out in the bottom up, not the top down, because when you do that, the poor have a ladder up. the middle class does well on the wealthy still do very well. we all do well it's a stark contrast from my
12:14 pm
opponent. he looks at the economy for mar-a-lago, where he and his rich friends embrace the failed trickle-down policies as a failed working families for more than 40 years, scrap values for mar-a-lago values these are the competing visions for our economy. and that raised questions of fundamental fairness of the heart of this campaign. that i want to talk to you about a little bit today >> folks. >> does anybody really think that's present tax code is fair? raise your hand. i think it's fair >> i'm not joking well, neither do i am a capitalist if you want to review able to make 1 million bucks fine, that's okay. but just make sure you pay your fair share in taxes a fair tax code is how we invest in the things that make this country strong health care, education, defense, and so much more but here's the deal for more than 40 years, our
12:15 pm
republican friends have promised the best way to grow the economies from the top-down but here's what they don't tell you. it's never worked the benefits don't trickle down. the very wealthy pay less in taxes and we have to borrow more and invest less in the things that families really need from schools to hospitals, health care, roads, bridges, and so much more i think what's happens when the factory closes and scranton or anywhere around the country when the schools are underfunded, when an equity grows larger and larger it puts a middle-class further in or out of reach and rips the dignity and pride and hope out to communities all across the country, including right here in pennsylvania folks trickle down economics fail. the middle class. it failed america and the truth is donald trump and bodies that failure he wants to double down on trickled down as failure starts with his $2,000,000,000,000 tax cut that overwhelmingly benefited the
12:16 pm
wealthiest and biggest corporations and exploded. the federal debt when he was president cnn's white house correspondent arlette saenz is live on the trail in pennsylvania. she was there with the president and his he was speaking, are let this is the first of many in pennsylvania. no accident. this is a place that gave president biden the presidency in 20, 21. he's going to return to again and again. what was interesting today is to hear him kind of circling i'm back to what we heard from him in 2020 when it was then scranton versus park avenue. now, scranton versus mar-a-lago values yeah, just president biden really open some new lines of attack against former president donald trump here and >> scratches a day as he sought to draw this economic contrast with his predecessor. now, it's worth noting that while the president was out campaigning today, former president trump is in a courtroom in new york city as he faces criminal trial, really setting up a split-screen that could continue in the weeks to come. but president biden today
12:17 pm
really tried to zero in on the differences of the two men have when it comes to tax policies, the president tried to argue that the former president is on the side of the wealthy and billionaires, while president biden is trying to lower taxes for the middle class. now, this all thomas is the precedent has also been trying to move the needle with voters whose have pessimistic views about biden's handling of the economy. some things that he was trying to lay out today, were how he would raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations and pointing to the fact that trump has pledged to donors to extend the 2017 tax cuts uh, which did offer tax cuts to all americans but benefited the wealthy much more. now, a biden really tried to frame this, as you mentioned, back in 2020, he had this argument that this was a that was a choice between scranton and park avenue values today, he laid it out in different terms, saying that it's scranton values versus a mar-a-lago approach, referring two of the former president's are residents down in florida and the president are really tried to argue that he sees the
12:18 pm
economy from the middle-class, from scranton of values, while the former president adopts those of mar-a-lago. now, pennsylvania, as you noted, will be critical in the upcoming election. president biden, one here back in 2020, including a here and lack wanted a county where scranton is based. there are some counties and the surrounding area where trump won of the presidents hoping to keep us very close race as we've seen in the polls, it current state is all right. >> i'll let science force on the trail in scranton, pennsylvania. thank you so much. and let's turn now because he in an economics and political commentator, catherine ram health, she's also an opinion columnist for the washington post. catherine great to see you. i feel like every time i see you, i'm going to ask you this question, but it's one that i still think we're all trying to understand. why do americans still feel like this economy isn't working for them >> i knew you were going to have because you always ask that i think there are a few things going on. one is that
12:19 pm
obviously inflation was very painful, has been very painful, continued he used to be painful even though it has come down quite a bit we've already seen a lot of built-in price growth over the past couple of years and people are still experiencing sticker-shock whenever they go to the grocery store their wages are now outpacing inflation. but for a lot of workers reasonably, they interpret wage increases as something that was due to them because of their marriage, because they deserved those wage increases as opposed to inflation, which is something that was foisted upon them. now they're both related to the same kinds of factors, but people interpret them very differently. so i think that's largely what's going on if you look at consumer sentiment numbers, they have been improving. there are still sort of strangely low relative to some of the numbers we see on paper, whether you're talking talking about ultra low
12:20 pm
unemployment rates or strong gdp growth. but they are improving. so i think we'll be watching if american consumers start to get if, if not exactly rosie on the economy, less negative as we head towards the election. >> yeah, and it's interesting to note the imf chief economists said that the us is overheated, was the way he described it, but also said, quote, astonishingly, the us has already surged past. it's pre-print pandemic growth trend so you have these two things that are happening at the same time. how do they all go together >> right? exactly. like i said, on paper, the us looks quite good and that's according to a whole bunch of different framings you could put on it. if you look at the us today relative to, let's say 29 19, or most other periods of time over the last few decades, it looks as good or better on everything except for inflation. so if you look at,
12:21 pm
for example, unemployment being very low gdp, growth being strong, it also looks quite strong relative to pre-pandemic forecasts. that's what the imf economists you just cite. was referring to. the fact that if you go back and looked at what the international monetary fund expected, the size of the us to look like today back when they made their last pre-covid forecast. and i think it was january 2020. were besting even that and all of these things are related. we've run a very hot economy that that's a characteristic explains the low unemployment, the strong job growth, the strong gdp growth, and high price growth. those were all about demand being really really strong. >> now, the trick is to get the good things out of that strong demand and not so much the bad things which means maybe we don't want the economy to be quite as hot as it as we want there to be strong job growth,
12:22 pm
but not quite as fast price growth. and hopefully we're getting there. >> all right, catherine ram pell as always, great to see you. thank you so much. >> i had >> this hour on cnn news central much more on the historic criminal trial of donald trump as his attorneys challenged potential jurors based on their social media posts. and israel's war for cabinet just met for the fifth time since the ron's weekend attack. are they any closer to deciding how and if they'll respond? plus the fed's have launched a criminal investigation into the deadly the baltimore bridge collapse as a fourth body is recovered from the wreckage. >> those stories and much more all coming up on cnn news central >> new ally in the fight against climate change. >> this is new car business blue carbon. we just >> need to protect >> nature will do the rest >> corbin plus cnn filled >> sunday at nine you surround

breaking news out of manhattan now, three jurors have just been seated in the trial of former president donald trump. the >> selection following some dramatic moment in court as defense attorneys use social media posts to challenge prospective juror jurors. but again, now, three jurors have been seated. we'll have more on that in just a moment for us >> the world is watching and waiting for israel's response to that massive attack over the weekend from iran. today, the state department said the us hasn't received any details about israel's plans. but a source tells cnn the us believes their response will be limited in scope iran is president, is warning that even the smallest is really action would be met with a severe and painful response. let's discuss with retired army lieutenant general mark swartz. he's the former us security coordinator for israel and the palestinian authority general great to have your perspective. thanks for being with us. israel's war cabinet is obviously mulling a
12:28 pm
response to this unprecedented attack by iran over the weekend. as we noted a moment ago, us intelligence believes that the response would be limited in scope and inside a territory. i'm wondering what you think that might look like >> hey boris, great to be with you this afternoon. well, i think there's a number of options available is has been discussed. really since the attacks took place on saturday evening, anywhere from a significant lethal response and the deployment of israeli attack your aircraft all the way to cyber operations or some type of further down the line, covert operation. but i would i would assess that general gantz and the minister defense golan to or discussing with the prime minister's what what was fired or launched at israel over the course of saturday evening. and what poses and their view the most significant threat as a result of what they saw play
12:29 pm
out that evening >> and so >> going after ballistic ballistic missile test sites, or ballistic missile storage sites. and the same with the crew there's missiles which have a far greater capability than the unmanned vehicles that were launched in many of those fail. i think that would be probably very high on the list of what the security cabinet is looking at. >> a general iran's president has vowed that even the smallest action against the ron's interests will be met with a response do you see an off-ramp here? is there a realistic scenario where escalating retaliation from both sides, doesn't end in war it's extremely tenses. i think all of us realized right now, but i do i do believe that had one of those ballistic missiles made it through the air defense
12:30 pm
and the defensive overall defense of joint umbrella that was established hello. saturday night, i think we would be in a conflict just as you mentioned right now and the united states would probably be compelled as a significant ally, if not the strongest ally to israel, to be involved in that so it's difficult to say, but i think if israel elects to go after infrastructure or weapons production capabilities and they can mitigate the risk of loss of human life. >> i think >> while that may still cause tensions between the two countries, for days, if not months to come. the likelihood of further escalation would be mitigated >> that's important context lieutenant general mark swartz. thanks for being with us >> thank you. >> coming up some dramatic moments today in the criminal hush money trial of donald trump. prosecutors here's another defense agreeing on the first three jurors, who will

tale of two or three social media posts. one, if somebody has made a direct statement about locking donald trump up, that was a reaction to the so-called muslim travel ban that happened early in his administration to others won an off-color joke regarding orange being the new black comparing donald trump and rock obama, that because that juror was was preserved in this context, another juror as well was preserved based on a celebratory oratory video that was captured from a distance that seemed to be a according to defense counsel capturing the moments that biden was declared the victor in the 2020 election. so things are moving pretty quickly. this judge is making a very, very tight ship here >> we might know even >> more by the end of today. >> well, i'm laura, we're just learning is as you're talking there, that it's now six jurors that have been seated in this trial. >> is that quicker than me? >> okay >> you know what it's amazing to think about the pace some people thought it would take a long time to get a jury in this

case earlier today, may adams came outside and spoke to porter's. somebody asked him, do you think that you can get a fair trial or jurors would be fair in this particular city towards donald trump. he said he essentially did not have any doubt that it was a fair city now, trump's council will argue that they don't think enough jurors are present to be able to have that impartial jury pool, but it's moving quite quickly here, is it not in fact, earlier today, there was please one juror who was struck because he himself declared he could not be impartial as related to donald trump's. you also have a body of people who may in fact be favoring him and we found one i call a legal unicorn here, who said it was the first time today that she was aware there were other indictments are cases against donald trump. so indeed not everyone follows the news so closely. that's important thinking about the blank slate here. do you want that type of george? you want one that's more invested in it. in fact, there was a juror earlier today as well, guys who say said, listen, i'm not really essentially read in on everything. is that what you want? prosecutor said, no, we want you to be impartial. so
12:39 pm
the pace at this trial is going quite quickly. remember, they already have six made me 12 more to go. but at the end of the day, remember the tactic here from defense counsel for months and months, it was to delay this trial. this its paces. absolutely antithetical to trying to delay that process. in other words, this defendant, donald trump, has the pacing of most defendants who are charged with the crime in new york city. >> all right. laura coates four is outside that courthouse. thanks so much for the update. we appreciate it >> and still i had this our a defiant mike johnson refuses to resign us house speaker as the first republican publicly backs a threat to oust him 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 exclusively on mac next
