begins tonight up on capitol hill, where speaker mike johnson is staring down a conservative revolt volley to put critical foreign aid bills to a vote. despite republican hardliners pushing to oust him. cnn's melanie zanona is up on capitol hill flores. melanie, what's the latest? >> yeah. speaker mike johnson in the fight of his political life right now, he's deded to foreign aid bills and really setting up a showdn with h hard, right? they are furiou over thinding for ukraine and also the ft that it does not include boer securit provisns. johnn has isedserate vote on a hardliners say that is not enou. sohere are issues now heading into some of these votes and it's looking like some of these republicans are threatening to vote against the procedural rule that is a key vote to get these foreign aid bills over the finish line, which means johnson is going to have to rely on democrats to

get these bills over the finish line. and he also might need to rely on them to save his speakership, are jake tapper did interview the speaker in the last hour here and asked him about all of these threats to his speakership. here's what he had to say. >> i've not asked any democrats to get involved in that. i believe the house will do its whale. i don't walk around thinking about the motion to vacate. it's a procedural matter re that i think has been abused in recent times. it maybe at some point we changed that right now. i gotta do my job and so do all my colleagues the house is planning to vote on saturday on a number of these foreign aid bill. does include 9 billion in assistance for humanitarian aid for gaza. >> in other conflict zones. that was a key demand from democrats. this package is also earned a stamp of approval from president joe biden. so after that is passed, if it does pass, it, we merged together and sent over to the senate where they will sell have to pick it up before it goes to biden's desk here melanie, i understand. >> we just heard from the

democratic house leader hakeem jeffries. what did he say so democrats have not yet committed to saving johnson. >> jeffries did say that johnson has not asked him for his support either. that procedural vote for the foreign aid bills or on a potential motion to vacate that is not come to the fore yet, but it's certainly something that hard-liners like marjorie taylor greene are threatening to do in the days and weeks ahead, jeffries did say that the democratic caucus is going to meet together tomorrow. they're having a special meeting where they're going to come together and talk this over more so could you see a decision coming out of that meeting tomorrow? something definitely look out for here, wolfe but it's just remarkable that democrats for the second time this congress now find themselves in a position where they could determine the fate of the republican speakership well, lots of stuff going up by capitol hill, melanie, thank you very much. >> melanie zanona reporting. >> we have for news up on capitol hill tonight as well. the us senate, moving very quickly to throw out the impeachment charges against the homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas. let's get

reaction from the white house. cnn's priscilla alvarez is stemi by their priscilla, how did this unfold and how is the white house now responding? >> well, well, if this ends it perhaps as quickly as it began, of course, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas became a top target for republicans early on as an affront to president biden's border policies. in fact, in february, the house voted to impeach him, making him the first cabinet official to be impeached in nearly 150 years. and today, the democratic-contr olled senate squash the impeachment articles only hours after being sworn in it. since then, the white house has praised the senate for doing exactly that. here's a statement from the white house spokesperson for oversight and investigations saying the senate has rightly voted down this baseless impeachment. president biden and secretary mayorkas will continue doing their jobs to keep america safe and pursue actual solutions at the border. and congressional republicans should join them instead of wasting time on baseless political stunts while killing real bipartisan border

security reforms. now of course, in some respects, this also ends the work that was done within the administration over the course of the last few months, white house officials and homeland security officials we're working behind the scenes to game out strategies and responses as all of this unfolded. and many times, what they did is use the split-screen strategy and basically saying that republicans weren't doing any of this seriously and weren't interested in border solutions again, calling it all meritless and a political stunt, but was never in question. was that the homeland security secretary was going to leave his post. he said from the very beginning that he was going to stay at the helm of the department and telling reporters earlier this month that he was focused on the work. but at the end of the day what this boils down to was the biden ministration immigration policies. and on that front, house, republicans are still very much going after the president for that. >> all right, priscilla, thank you. priscilla alvarez at the white house for us. for boron. what's going on? i want to bring in democratic congressman adam smith of washington state.

he's the top democrat on the house. armed services committee. congressman. thanks so much. joining us. we get to the dismissal of this impeachment trial in a few moments. but first would you vote for each of these foreign aid policy bills that the speaker, mike johnson, laid out. and then a possible plan to bundle them all together for the senate and the house accomplish all of this by the end of this week. >> yes. and yes, bieve i will certainly vote for the first three ukraine, israel, and taiwan. the fourth bill sn't actual been released yet. >> i think it'suosedo be released like s mites from no so i'll have to take look at that, t i support thislan. i think the house wiass it and it will be out of the rules committee that will be the rule andhen it'll go to the senate and i've heard the senate is prepared to take it ufairly qckly yeah, it looks like you said at's got the votes to pass it very quickly as wl. >> you weren't it could take at least what, two months t ultimately turthis convoluted

process into lawand that all of thiis quote, boiling ukraine two deaths swly your words, how much is the delay hurting ukraine right noon the ttlefield wi like it was seven months ago when we should have donehis and you know, and gosh, two months ago in the senate passed their bill. so the stallg in that, the house republicans have done has put ukraine in an incredibly perilous possession. and it is also undermined the faith and the coalition that is helping them to defeat putin and to protect ukraine. say huge problem and i'm glad that we now appear to have a path to get this done. but it is months later than it should have been in the cost has been high for ukraine without any question. >> that's that's true. you heard the house speaker johnson say he's not asking democrats to get involved in a possible vote to oust him as speaker. but if he'll have just one vote margin is one vote. republican majority virgin in the house won't need your

party for help. and are you personally still willing to help him? >> i am, yes. now, look, i am not under any illusion as a democrat that i'm going to love the republican speaker of the house all i ask is for someone that we can work with and mike johnson has he's kept the government open. he allowed us to pass the appropriations bills so that process would go through a normal process. and now he's allowed us to have a vote on this incredibly important supplemental. and i think that it shows that he is someone we can work. >> all right. in a respectable way. so it's not an endorsement of everything that mike johnson supports but i don't think vacating the speaker would be good for the institution in this moment. and i certainly don't want to see what marjorie taylor greene would try to put in his place. so yes, i am prepared to not vacate the chair. >> interesting. that's significant indeed president biden, they face more protesters over his handling of the israel hamas war when he was out on the campaign trail earlier today. this aid bill

doesn't include humanita aid to gaza. b what messag would it sento democratic voters who are ups, very upt with us support for this isel without any real l to conditions i mean, sorry democratic voters who are upset about it, but e's also all what i believe is the majority did stl recognize the thre at israel faces. >> i mean,r ron ove that poinhome last weekend israel faces a threat to their very existence, certainly from hamas, but ao from hezbollah proxs of irao preserving ther israe's right to exist a something that majority of democrats do support. i understand there's a divide in our party on this, but i don't think it's the case that the democratic party is all against tting to a ceasefire and in favor getting more humanitari assistance in and a long-term solution that

ultimately gives palestinians self-governance and a future. t that's t thsame as abandoning israel to the mercies ofhat iran a hezbollah would choose to do to them president bideneeps saying us support for israel and security is ironclad. he keeps usg that word iron clad on that point. congressman, not ime minister netanyahu sai day that israel ale will decide how it responds to iran's weekend attack with cruises, with cruise missis, with drones. you've warned that israeli retaliation would be a mistake. so how should the biden administration handle this very, very delicate issue? >> one thing exactly the way they're handling it. >> look, we proved that we would stand up for israel if they were attack last weekend. the court for native response that enabled them to not suffer significant damage from that barrage from iran was in large part because of joe biden's leadership and bringing that coalition together but we've also made it clear thawe

clearly have opinions on how to get to a more de escalated situation in the middle east. and we're going to cross those opinions. >> luck, you literally prime minister yet now who is correct? >> we are not going to fight any fight for israel. they will have to decide what is in their best interests, but it's absolutely appropriate for us to say what we think is in their best interests, given our long term alliance and the stakes that we have in it. and israel responding in this point would risk a dangerous escalation that i think we've place israel and greater jeopardy, not less interesng are congressman adam smi, the top democrat on the house armed services committee. >> thank you very much for joining us. thanks for and just ahead, how prosecutors are not planning to discredit, least have tried to discredit donald trump on the witness stan, if it's a huge if if he testifies, stay with us you're in the situation situation room with wolf blitzer. >> he's brought to you by progressive save when you

questions you may have called. >> now and we'll come to you 808 to one 4,000 we're learning new information tonight about prosecutor's plans to try to discredit donald trump on the witness stand if if he chooses to testify in his hush money trial, cnn's kara scannell has the latest details for us. so what a prosecutors want to bring up, carol. >> so prosecutors have identified a number of pass this is a misconct that they want to ble to confron donald trump with if he does testify, that includes the civifraud verdict in theost attoey general's office. they want to be able to use that. a judge had found trump liable for persistent and repeated fraud in that case. also, the judges determination that trump violated a gag order in that case. is and that the judge did not find trump's testimony credible on the stand. they also want to bring up the two verdicts in the e jean carroll case for the jury awarded her nearly $90 million after finding that trump defamed carroll and also

sexually abused her. they also want to mention sanctioned by a judge in a different case where he found that trump filed a frivolous lawsuit against hillary clinton. they also want to bring up a settlement agreement between the trump foundation and the new york attorney general's office. where trump agreed to dissolve that foundation as part of that deal. and i also want to bring up the 2022 tax fraud convictions of two trump organization entities that was just the case that went just before the same judge has justice one, we're sean. they these are all issues they want to be able to confront trump withthe stdard, tried to discredit him.w tru's am has indiced that they're going to oppose me of this. the judge id that he will hold a hearing on these on this issue before he determines what prosecutors are allowed to do. now, that aring it cld be as soon as friday, if they do finish in select a full jury and alternates by friday. if not,t will be later, but jury selection will continue tomorrow. wo. >> very interesting indeed potentially very significant.

kara scannl. tnk you very much. i want to bring in our legal and political experts for analys, righw, car career for dahs the introduction of trums previous legal problem is something that jge mchan might allow to come up if trump testifies. >> well, of the many different tential areas at the precutors want to bring the carrges reportedn. i think some of them potentially could come in, but i would be surprised if all of them would the issues that pertain directly to his credibility. so again, this is all in the context of if he decides to take the stand, it is his right to do that or not do that as any criminal defendant but things that go to the specific issue of his credibility. i think those the judge would take carefully, but if it starts to sound like the prosecutors are trying to ju bring any derogatory formation regarding his involvement in the legal system. i think the judge would want a cabin that to some degree, ayna, as you know, trump has said, he is re than ready to testify in this coming

ial, but he said that the testify fore various fors, but he never didwhat do you of times very briefly, oncin s civil fraud case, that care was just breaking down, well as very briefly in the e jean carroll defamation trial, both times, he really gave his political line saying that this is a wch-hunt campaign from the stand. >> but you're totally right. walf that a lot of times he says he wants to testify and then just, you know, he he doesn't end up doing so because his lawyers tell them that might not really be a good id. i think they're telling him that in this case as well, especially now tt the're seeing whaosecutormay want to ask hi and i think ck from i'm on trump's standpoint and jt have cut covering him for as long as i have. he thinks he is his own best defender. he wants to be able to get up there, defend himself, say that this is a sham trial which is exactly what he's been saying when he goes in and out of the courts to however, there are a lot of

potential landmines he could step on if he does take the stand and i know that those are things that his team is telling him, particularly with this gag order in place as well. and so we'll see whether or not he ultimately ends up doing so. if he does, i imagine it'll only be very breached. >> those he will testify. let's see if he actually does audie. what do you what do you think? you think he will? >> i think reporters so far have been describing a very different trump inside the court versus the one who comes it's out and speaks to everybody and tries to spin the de also to your point and that e jean carroll defamation case, i think he was on the stand for something like three minutes and managed to be chastised like every 30 to 45 seconds. i don't know if his lawyers will want to go through that same process in front of a jury but what i do know is that there are moments where trump is disciplined when it comes to the legal process. and so we will know the truth about whether or not he's listing to counsel if he is disciplined

during this process, you've saying i have nothing to hide, nothing to hide more than willing to testify. let's see. >> yeah. >> in depositionand past cases, those comments have come back to haunt him and th may not want to go through that ocess here. >> well, and whether or not he contins to want to or inks it's in his interests. and what is lawyer's advice ends up being regarding his testying is going to be determined by hothe trial itself. so there's yalty plays ou bothestified at the beginning, i would thinkhat probably is theiadvice now, but they also havesee ho the trial plays out and whher they thi it woulbe in his insts are not what do you think about the way trumis reting publicly ght now, alina, y covering him very closely at he's sayingbout all of these things well, i think what he's sang is the same type of rhetoric we've fft indictments as well f his asther thr criminal indictments that he is facing. but will s i think one of thvery interesting tngs about this casis donald tru's team actlly sees this as the akest of the four criminal indictments that he is

fang. in man patten and this whole jury selection process that we're seeing him sit through righnow. that is what is very concerni both to dald trump himself,ut also his lel team. there are a t of estis of whether or not he cod get a fair taln new york. we know we saw donald trump today, say that he thinks there should be unmited strikes fromis team to be able to remove people from the jury, not just theen a that they are allotted. and that's because he's worried about th keup of new york biden won new york city or manhattan 2020 ahat is very much in playing on donald u's mind here. and i think that is also affecting some of his rhetor the blic or his laers and to e prosution jeff for strikes left or eliminate various potentl jurors, you know, a lot of legal oervers audie, think that the seven jurors who have ready been seeded from trump' perspective, seem e pretty good i mean, i would defer to you a little bit about that. >> i think that we are all

trying to overlay our ideas about partisan policy politics onto the legal process. and even some of these jurors themselves have made comments about how and why they believe they can still be fair. and i think we'd like to be open-minded about that to still have this sense that our legal system works because arguably donald trump believes that not one of these trials is there. i don't think it would matter if it was in new york or down in florida or where to him if he's saying publicly that these are partisan, if he's disparaging them, it really doesn't matter who's in the jury box, what matters to him is how he can reframe it for voters interesting right, guys. thank you very, very much. and to our viewers, you can always find audio podcasts. the assignment will audie cornish, wherever you get your podcasts, i recommend you do so. coming up, we're live in arizona where lawmakers voted today, i moved to repeal the state's civil war era abortion ban

so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. to 50% over real stone erin burnett outfront tonight, it's seven odd cnn we're following new developments in arizona as abortion battle the state's highly controversial civil war era bands still on the books tonight i, after republican lawmakers once again blocked and effort to repeal it, cnn's natasha jen is joining us from phoenix right now. >> natasha, this failed repeal comes after public pressure from donald trump, republican senate candidate kari lake, among many others, to try to do away with this band. but what happened? >> a wolf, there were two failed attempts to try and get past procedural hurdles to even consider this repeal on the

whole house floor. and that's because typically a bill needs to be heard in committee before it goes to the full house. >> that's what they were trying to get past and couldn't get there. it was a 30, 30 split. there's a razor thin republican majority here, 31 republicans to 29 democrats, and they just couldn't get another republican to go with the democrats along party lines. there so we are hearing from both sides of this issue and it's very difficult because whether you call yourself pro-life or pro-choice, there are a lot of nuances where each person really considers different different things on what's reasonable and allowed as far as exceptions and punishments, here are a couple of lawmakers. won the speaker of the house, republican on the house floor, followed by a democrat and a press conference after the fact there are criminal penalties associated with this and that's chile each of us have to make our own different

determination about what level of risk now we're going to take to continue to provide abortion care. >> and what's your threshold? are you willing to go to prison for this my threshold is not going to prison i'm sorry, you what you heard there was a comment from dr. deshawn taylor, she is a provider at one of the last remaining clinics that offer abortion services in the state of arizona? i think there are eight of them left and she was talking to me about how challenging it is at this moment because patients are confused when that decision came down last week, people thought abortion care was over right now. she's still offering abortion services for the short-term, trying to figure out legally what's next? >> hi, natasha. thank you very much. it's a tasha chen in phoenix for us. i want to bring and see you then political commentator care anthony and former republican congressman charlie dent. charlie, let me start off with you. is this a blender for the republicans in a key battleground state like arizona and a state where

potentially the majority in the senate could be to play now it's a horrible blunder. >> i mean republicans have not only a messaging problem about a policy problem, they can't get out of their own way. they don't know what to do on abortion with roe gone. this is returned to the states and now we have arizona with this egregious ban, and they don't know how to deal with it, and they're on the wrong that law in arizona probably has as five public support right now. and so as long as they're on that, in that position, they've just put the senate seat at risk. some house seats are at risk. so this is a catastrophe for the republican party and probably the biggest challenge they're going to face in this election is this issue. i was the last republican in the house of representatives to vote against the 20 week abortion ban and not the fund plant parenthood. warn them about this. there are consequences post dobbs and you're experiencing right now in arizona, qarrah, what do you think? how does this move by republicans and arizona impact the democrats that their hopes, not just to carry the state in the presidential election, but also in the senate absolutely. >> i mean, look, it's been a

disaster since dobbs fell. we've seen women being criminalized doctors being criminalized. we've seen just a parade of jr.'s with women having their lives endangered. >> and now just the idea that in a place like arizona we're talking about a law that was passed at a time when women did not control pretty much anything of their life fruit, let alone vote, right black people weren't even considered full human being who were three-fifths. >> that's the kind of archaic as president biden would say, old ideas that the republican party, many in the party, are still defending so i think it's going to be a real problem we've already seen president trump trying to have it both ways on the issue you're going to see president biden and democrats holding his feet to the fire, of course, for the vice president said, it's his fault that we're in this position with dogs. so i think it's going to play out up and down the ballot. frankly, we're going to see ballot initiatives that i think will help energized the democratic base. were also there could be a

fight on access to contraception. so this message about reproductive freedom, altogether is gonna be very powerful. >> it's a significant development. and indeed, you know, charlie, personal biden was in pittsburgh today if her campaign stop and he was near your old district or congressional district in pennsylvania as well? he was greeted by some protestors with signs anti-israel pro-palestinian science. they're opposing his support for israel in this war against hamas how much of a problem potentially is this in a state like pennsylvania? those who are opposed opposing president biden's position on the israel-hamas war. >> well, i'm not sure how big an issue it actually is in pennsylvania, certainly in michigan, it's a big issue because of their very you're large arabic population. >> but in pennsylvania, it is an issue. >> it's clearly dividing democrats and i know democratic house members in the state who are under tremendous pressure from their own base over this issue. so it is a base erosion issues potentially for

democrats so i think they have to be concerned about it, but i don't think pennsylvania will be ground zero when i asked the question, it goes by narrowly won pennsylvania at the last election, not by many, correct. but now the question is, are these disaffected democrats going to turn around and vote for donald trump over this issue. or do they just sit it out so that's a real challenge for democrats right now. >> i've been, i think the issue is, and this is what with young people right on college campuses, as you know, this is where we're seeing a lot of the activity and particularly among african-american voters, because a lot of african americans actually are muslim and have real feelings about these issues. i think that what's positive is that the things that the biden administration is doing has created some space and progress. and frankly, i think it's important for these folks who were peacefully protesting because i certainly do not want to do anything to endorse violence it's actually having an effect because as we're seeing, biden is being tougher on netanyahu and is really putting up or boundaries in

>> he's acting like a man who's back in the white house, former president trump, slated to have dinner tonight with right-wing polish president andrzej duda at trump tower in new york the latest in a series of private interactions, trump has had with foreign leaders or diplomats he's basically been holding court at his various properties in new york and florida hosting hungarian prime minister viktor orban at mar-a-lago last month heaping praise on the hardline leader in videos posted on orban's instagram account said this is the way it's going to be in this. he had done the loss hey leader, fantastic leader. >> that meeting drawing the scorn of the man who is in the white house. >> you know who he's meeting with today. >> down in mar-a-lago or hungry who stated flatly he doesn't think democracy works. he's looking for dictatorship. >> trump had recent phone calls with saudi crown prince muhammad bin salma and the king of bahrain. but it's not just strong menn, who are queuing up to meet with donald trump

red lines. so of course there there is a risk that he is going to engage in some perspective, foreign policy see making in these negotiations. >> and that would be a violation of the logan act, a law making it illegal for an american citizen to engage in foreign policy without the authorization of the current president, whatever what do you like to buy an electric and a short time ago, the polish president andrzej duda, was asked by reporters about his dinner meeting tonight with donald trump. do to said quote, this is normal practice. there's nothing extraordinary about it. he emphasized that this is a completely private visit and said it's taking place only because he happens to be in new york wolf these foreign leaders are walking a very delicate line with this and they're being very careful. >> we'll see what happens. sorry, brian. thank you very much for that report. brian todd reporting. and to our viewers. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. i'll see you tomorrow morning, 11:00 a.m. eastern >> we're cnn newsroom back
