coming up. is republican senator ted cruz is going to join me on wednesday a lot to discuss with him. you will not want to miss that here wednesday night but tonight before we go, i do want to take a moment to remember alice stewart. she is our colleague who was taken from us far too soon this weekend. >> alice, as we all know, and many of you at home spent a lot of time watching her here on cnn? she was a veteran political strategist who could disagree, agreeably with just about anybody, no matter who she was sitting across from, she always had a way to find something in common with them, even if they had nothing in common at all. as we've been remembering her and hearing so much from so many people that she meant a lot to alice is going to be remembered for her kindness and for her empathy and we're thinking of all of her friends and family as they deal with her loss. and as we here at cnn also process it may her memory be a blessing thank you so much for joining us.

santa newsnight starts now the circus comes to the courtroom. that's tonight on these nine good evening. >> i'm abby phillip the new york tonight. tensions and chaos erupt inside of the courtroom. let me set the scene for you. the trump team made a game time decision to call a witness, robert costello. he's a former legal advisor to michael cohen. now about 14 minutes into his testimony, cohen, costello vividly demonstrated why he may have caught trump's the tension. but the presiding judge was not amused costello rolled his eyes. a judge merchan, he let out an audible sigh after an objection. and the transcript, maybe the best way to describe what happened next in that courtroom. the judge, he says, i wanted to discuss proper

decorum in my courtroom. costello, right judge okay. so when there is a witness on the stand, if you don't like my ruling, you don't say, jeez. okay. and then you don't say strike it because i'm the only one who can strike testimony in the courtroom. do you, understand that costello? i understand. judg okay. then if you don't like my ruling, you don't give me the sayyed i and you don't roll your eyes. do you understand that? do you understand that costello i understand that. i understand what you're saying, judge. okay. thank you. let's get the jury back. are you staring me down right now costello know i'm just wondering how judge clear the courtroom, please cleathe courtroom bottom line judge marsha, who is normally soft-spoken, measured. he was furious today. the judge cleared that courtroom and dressed down the witness, all of which served mostly to distract from what would have otherwise been a pretty strong

de for the defense the prosecution's star witness, michael cohen, while he may have flown a little too close to the sun and scorch the government's case against the former president in the process. trump's lawyers backed michael cohen into a shocking admission that the fixer is a thief now on the stand, cohen said that he took $60,000 from payments that he had received from trump, which included reimbursement for the hush money that he ultimately paid to stormy daniel's. the very payments that are at the core of this trial that is an alleged crime that cohen never faced charges four joining me now is former counsel to president trump during is first impeachment. robert ray, from a federal prosecutor, gene rossi, and washington correspondent for new york magazine, olivia newsy, and trial lawyer deanna paul robert. >> this is a pretty shocking decision actually, on the part of the defense to bring costs hello in from our reporting despite a lot of back-and-forth

internally to give them what seemed to ultimately be not a whole lot and then in the process antagonize the judge. >> well, i think about antagonizing the judge. fortunately, most of what you just read, their transpired out of the presence of the jury. i mean, there were some things that this witness did that caught this judge's attention. he was pretty upset about that did happen before the jury but he was reacting in real time before he took the jury out of the room. >> so the question is really, how much did the jury capture of this and what if any, reaction will they have looked the only purpose of calling this witness was to impeach michael cohen's testimony with proof of a prior inconsistent statement, i e to the effect that costello knows because cohen told him that he didn't have anything on trump, which is obviously contrary was testimony now at trial, and that's the only reason that you would have called him? i

mean, turning it into a circus obviously is not generally speaking, a good idea. >> but as far as what actually transpired before the judge, the jury, of course, doesn't is not aware of any of that. >> i think the obviously know about the commotion and that may have some collateral effect but the more important part of today's testimony was the part that you lead will, which is the stuff relatively what cohen did. >> and we'll get to that in just a moment. i mean, it's so interesting to me that costello showed up on capitol hill last week. he gave this blockbuster testimony, at least according to conservatives and it was no surprise to me that that would have gotten trump's attack. it was intended to get trump's attention they bring him into the courtroom and we're only halfway through this thing. the prosecution's going to get a stab at costello. and i suspect it's going to be all about what you know, this kind of mafia like environment that was all around trump with giuliani, with costello and with michael

cohen, donald trump does not have good ideas it seems possible that this was his, his legal team appeasing him in some way and saying, okay, if you'd like this guy who just to testify in a way that was attractive to you on capitol hill i guess we can bring him in if it wasn't truly necessary to their case. it seems like a good guess that maybe this was about the kind of audience of one theory that all of his lawyers the padding to deal with at some point and you saw you start today after trump left the courtroom, he went to new dress to cameras that does actually play moments. >> this is trump speaking after the proceedings today so what happened to a highly respected bob costello i've never seen anything like that. >> i i'd be looking. todd blanche faith in that clip he looks like he's not breathing for the entirety of this press conference. and i was worried he was going to pass out. surely, he looked like he was not breathing and like he's just standing there bracing himself, hoping that his client

does not violate this gag order, which arguably he did and does not create further calamity every day it seems like todd, blanche, and the rest of the legal team is sort of just praying that their client doesn't do yet another deeply silly thing to make this more complicated for them. >> i had the same reaction. i thought that it could very well, very well be another violation of the gag order. and we'll see what judge merchan says tomorrow. what stood out to me the most today was just the way judge merchan has been able to control the courtroom throughout the course of the dial, you had even when trump was muttering things, when stormy daniels was on the stand, he called the layers up to sidebar and said control your client, but didn't want to embarrass him. and today we saw that again, where rather than calling pastel out in front of a room full of press and full of trump's supporters clear the courtroom in order to give him as really a stern of a warning as you possibly could without actually holding him in contempt and even cleared the courtroom of the media which is actually a whole other step that we've never seen in this hearing. borrow more. i mean,

there's one thing to have a sidebar, but to take all the press out of the room so that you can do what you're gonna do without them witnessing it. that's the only explanation. i can tell you this. >> i've never seen this in my entire 30 years as a prosecutor. where's the defense? attorney? but i just want to supplement something that robert said. who brought up a couple of good points, at least de jury sends something wrong was happening i say yes and the reason is there are two attorneys on a jury and i'll guarantee even though they didn't hear the sidebar, new cleared courtroom comments that you just read? those two attorneys and probably other jurors could sense that the way mr. costello was acting was beyond the pale. and i got to say this primacy recency, you start off with a good argument and you end with a good argument. if that is their last witness kevin forbid. donald

trump ended on the worst possible note only mr. costello could have rehabilitated michael cohen because what did michael cohen say? i didn't trust the guy. i thought essentially he was asleep ball and he was working for giuliani. and i didn't want to tell him what i didn't need to tell him. so what did castello do? he reinforced what cohen had said about costello. that's not a good way to end your case. >> i mean, look, we for not expecting castula to be the lats witness or a witness at all. frankly sources had been telling cnn he was unlikely to be, but then instead of taking this moment, robert, where as you pointed out, they catch michael cohen. >> the lie. i mean, it's not the first time we've heard this particular thing where he stole the money but it was a grand larceny. it's a theft it's not just about the fact that it's a lie, it's it's right in the middle as elie honig in a prior segment

earlier today, it's like right in the middle of what they're charging donald trump with. >> and it turns out that donald trump is a victim of them crime itself it sounds like you can't make this stuff up. >> it really isn't good second half of you make of that though. i mean, robert, i mean, the whole kit that's legally a circus. the rest of the rest of it may be. you're correct to point out the stuff with i still costello comes with a lot of baggage. >> i was a little worried when i saw that that's where the defense was going because you really want to make it about if you're the defense that the prosecution is politically motivated when you put costello up in there and you start raising rudy giuliani and other people into this. >> it comes with baggage. now, how much the prosecution is going to be able to do with that and what would be admissible. we'll find out in the i guess tomorrow. >> but the league but nevertheless the legal circles, the part that the legal circuits, there's a criminal defendant and then the criminal defendant may have been a

victim of a crime as well. that is not charged. everybody looks bad this generation, i just make your comment in roberts outstanding prosecutor, and we know what fronting is and fronting is when the prosecutor has a witness on the stand and the witness has baggage. >> as robert knows, you try to fronted you try to bring out the wards, the baggage i'm going to play a monday morning quarterback. we never throw interceptions. yeah. >> i don't think the prosecutors fronted enough of michael cohen's warts. and this theft thing is something that they should really have gotten in the weeds on. yeah. i mean, well, there are two things that didn't come out but on direct examination of clouds have been the focus of the most recent cross-examinati on. one is what was happening during that october phone call. they didn't front the fact that it was about the stock are principally and then the second thing is this, which is they didn't front the fact that not only was there a theft, he

didn't take michael cohen didn't take a guilty plea for that and it also was never mentioned during his direct examination. i mean, that makes the process not only the witness look bad, it makes the prosecution i why one thing i think about though with this whole story, i mean, there's so many ways to interpret this part of it also is that this tactic of trump having michael oh, and essentially front money for him and then reimbursing him is part of the pattern that actually the prosecution is trying to establish for what they how they handled stormy daniels i actually i agree with what you were saying. i think the more effective line of cross-examination was about the call with keith schiller any idea that that was never brought up during grand jury me, it was the first time you ever talked about it. and when it comes to michael cohen's an opportunist so this idea that he pocketed $30,000 i mean, is it does it make or break the prosecution's case? i don't think so. i think the thing that really undercuts his credibility to the jury is going to be hearing over and over that he lied he lied under

oath, and that directly goes to his ability to be able to be a credible witness on the stand yeah. >> i mean i'm actually just as a little sidebar here. the thing that trump did michael cohen paid this firm four is one of the most trumpian things i've ever heard basically unimportant cmc poll, but he paid $50,000 to try to gave easier forget all of this now because so many more important things it's have happened, but they campaign began in the atrium of trump tower. they hired actors to pretend to be trump's supporters. we forget that. they were doing, they were doing fake polls left and right. michael cohen ran twitter account. women women from michael cohen. let's forget, i know you were follower, but it was a very strange, strange campaign where they were just making up all the time. and it didn't matter in the end except for now what it does one thing that also happened today was about this video of that phone call we're not a video of michael count of donald trump and keith schiller

that would basically serve to kind of substantiate that phone call, that critical phone call. >> the defense had actually so well tried to undercut how significant is it that they were allowed to get that evidence in today, despite the vociferously objections of the defense one of one of our reporters, really said of all the things that the defense's objected to. this was probably the thing they objected to the most a video of donald trump and keith schiller together around the time when that phone call was supposed to well, i will say this the photo itself, i think only the photo came in. yeah, not the video i love baseball and is a photo a home run know? it's probably a week bunt all right. >> what the prosecutors trying to do is just show that this shield we're in trump were joined at the hip and at the precise moment that cohen called, i guess it was eight

zero for a fight for years. oh, yeah. four minutes later schiller and trump were right together. so is it a home run? no. does it sort of rehabilitate just a little bit? yes. but i think the damage was done during the cross-examination of cohen when this whole thing about the as i wouldn't have fought so hard to keep it out. yeah. >> and then they eventually if the jury saw that the defense was trying in too hard to exclude it, frankly, that to me is more damaging than the evidence itself. i'd have let it in even if i thought jeez, that's not so great mostly because i mean, he's the guy is bodyguard. of course, he's with them all the time with differences that make that they have a photo together, even if the timestamp is around the time that the phone call came in, that really wasn't the defenses thank you. meant the defense's argument was this phone call was about a particular subject matter that you completely neglected to testify to in the grand jury. and during your direct examination, and now all of a sudden, you've got caught. so

i don't really know that the photograph changes any of that to any significant degree, but it just didn't look good. >> i'm interesting choices it's made by the defense counsel today in court, everyone. thank you very much for all of that. and tonight, there is a potential arrest warrant now for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu over israel's war in gaza and president biden is livid about it, will debate next plus new details on that helicopter crash that killed the hard line president of iran. and what it means it's for the world now and just tonight, why sean diddy combs did not mention his ex-girlfriend, casi in his apology after that horrific video. o of him beating her. this is the assignments are going off the tornado here you cannot out swim this you cannot outrun it really is a terrifying experience. >> it's the stuff.

>> of nightmares you could hear it and feel it. my eyes and my throat were buried. i'm thinking i'm going to die and i thought that was it. >> with liev schreiber premieres june 2 at nih on cnn with the push of a button, constant context ai tools help you know what to say even when you don't constant contact, helping the small santo fashion moves fast. so we partner with verizon to take our operations to the next level with a custom private 5g networks, we get more control with production efficiencies and greater agility. that's enterprise intelligence. it's your vision, it's your verizon. >> i get asked a lot what cookware i use we're going to have the best pans in the world at one of the best restaurants and brocoli him sin, and i use mating cookware they say we should stop eating so much meat

with everybody show powering progress this is cnn the

world's news network. >> war chaos have always forged history and right now it seems that everywhere you look across the global map, you can find a degree of chaos that may just echo across the next few decades the spider web of global crises touched every region, every faith, every problem of power that american policymakers have spent decades trying to solve. ukraine these days, it seems that war has been receding from the headlines even while the conflict is white hot russia is again on the advance and volute amir's linsky is again pleading with the west to get directly involved in its war for survival gaza, that war, again, in the headlines today is the international criminal court pursues arrest warrants for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and for the leader of hamas the icc's message, nobody is above the

law. the message from the white house. you cannot compare a terrorist to an elected leader and the united states is closest ally in the region there's no equivalence between israel and hamas it's clear there isn't wants to all do all it can to ensure civilian protection. but let me be clear. >> concert allegations against israel made by the international court of justice. what's happening is not genocide and iran, which suddenly finds itself confronting and internal power struggle. >> helicopter crash that killed it's hard liner. president leaves to ron without a bulwark of the brutal theocratic regime his death means the jockeying to replace iran supreme leader ayatollah begins much sooner rather than years down the road as many observers had expected and here in the united states where of course the november 2024 election. and who wins that race may determine if the

world can depend on america or if they should expect america alone. for more on the arrest warrants. let me bring in mehdi hasan, author of win every argument. the art of debating. and jonathan shazam chanzeaux, former terrorism finance analyst at the us treasury department maddie, i want to start with you and i know that we will spend a lot of time discussing the part that has gotten this really to the front pages, which is the charges against the israeli leaders. but on the issue of hamas isn't justified for there to be such a delay in bringing charges against hamas for actions that happened many, many months ago on october 7 that we've known about those atrocities have been clear for a long time. and yet the charges only come now i'm not sure actually, i think that karim khan, the icc chief prosecutor, would say that he was building a very careful case. he's a very careful lawyer he has been there for i

think a few years since 2021. and when he became chief prosecutor, he said he would be looking at israel, palestine because the icc said they had jurisdiction over crimes accumulate on palestinian territory. he's interviewed survivors, he talks about it very eloquently in a statement today, and i think look, how should be held to account for what we all saw them due on october the seventh, the killing of civilians hostage, taking some of us said on the de, those are war crimes. so i'm glad they're being held to account the problem. of course is, is that some people, including the president of the united states say only hamas should be able to account for crimes committed in that part of the world, even though since october the seventh, tragically, we have seen many more innocent people killed. >> on the other end, killed by the israeli war machine. >> and i think it's quite right. that is, you said in your introduction, no one is above the law and this whole nonsense about moral equivalents. i've been hearing all day moral equivalents. no one saying there's a moral equivalents, people are saying that there is one law international humanitarian law. everyone should be held to it. whether you are a government, whether you're militant group, whether you are terrorists, whether you're an individual,

whether you are prime minister, no one is above the law. and karim khan is doing the right thing and bringing charges against people in that part of the world requesting arrest warrants for people hello, we we've all seen netanyahu and the leaders of hamas carry out horrific things in front of our eyes. >> jonathan, your response look, i'm not going to get into this moral equivalence thing because i think it's a ridiculous thing to talk about. >> we know that hamas deliberately went out and raped women, slaughter 1,200 people people took 240 people hostage in the israelis are now responding in a defensive or and they have every right to do it and they're putting their own soldiers at risk while they're trying to deliver aid. and that's the charge that the icc brought against israel, that they were waging is siege when in fact they're actually putting their own soldiers at risk. but if i asked you there, let me ask you about that because i think that is as you point out, a key part of what the icc is saying they're talking about the use of starvation and deprivation as

tools of war. >> and you may remember it, senior israeli officials at the onset of this war, they stated pretty clearly, no power, no water would be going to gaza until the hostages were freed that was pointed out at the time to be a statement of collective punishment there is as most international observers say, a famine on the verge of descending on gaza right now. it shouldn't that be something that is under the scrutiny of the icc? >> well, let me just say on the verge is not a famine, right? and i think we need to differentiate here and everybody keeps saying on the verge, but we've not yet seen facts that back this up. there is no un criteria for how many calories need to come in every day for this, not to be a siege. the israelis are actually bringing in massive numbers of trucks and they're doing it at parallel to their own soldiers. and more over, i think we just need to say this i have not ever seen a successful case brought by any international court in any in

any circumstance where you've seen this siege thing actually play out. i think it's a hail mary. there doesn't seem to be not only have we not seen any cases brought, but we i don't think we've ever seen a successful case brought on this. we know that this icc prosecutor was actually negotiating with the israelis end with the united states up until a few days ago. this is a monkey court. if they're negotiating about what, what kind of charges they're going to bring and then they finally bring them and it just does not hold water and we can see now the reaction or the president of the united states, the reaction of members of congress. they're going to sanction this prosecutor just like they did the last one because the icc is simply illegitimate. it is not taken seriously here in the united states hey, it's because they pick and choose how they want to apply this very loose interpretation of international law. >> mehdi, i want you to respond, but i want to correct myself the united states it has already said samantha power, us

official has said that famine has begun in gaza media your response to what jonathan said. so so just on the icc, america is not a party to the icc. >> so the rest of the world doesn't really care whether america likes the icc or not. that's not really relevant here. the jurisdiction is the icc's as for karim card, he was actually israel's favorite choice for prosecutor in 2021 as the israeli media reported at the time, now suddenly is unpopular. he's the greatest anti-semite of our times according to net. and you, simply because he's asked for arrest warrants jonathan says we're on the verge of famine, as you said, are abby, samantha power disagrees? in fact, you know, who disagrees with jonathan? cindy mccain, the head of the world food program, the wife of the moon it's pro israel american senator of my lifetime, john mccain says, northern gaza isn't a full-blown famine. she said the other day that children in gaza are dying as skeletons, right? that is what is going on in gaza. she also says, israel is not allowing the world food program full access. johnson wants you to believe that this is a defensive war. he wants you to disbelieve every major human rights group in the world that says otherwise he wants you to believe there's no

famine in gaza and disbelieve every major humanitarian aid agency on the planet that disagrees with him. the facts are pretty clear to people who are watching. there's a reason why a majority of canadians want to see an acc investigation. there's a reason why a majority of britain's say israel is committing war crimes there's a reason why a majority of french, belgians, germans, swedes bull told pollsters, they think israeli official should be prosecuted for crimes. there's a reason why plurality of americans, according to recent pulled up my organizations a teo did say israel is guilty of war crimes because we all have eyes. we can see children being pulled from the rubble. we can see churches, mosques, refugee camps, hospitals, schools, libraries, universities, cemetery, there is being bombed. and as for joe biden, joe biden himself accused israel of indiscriminate bombing abby, his words indiscriminate bombing. that is the literal definition of a war crime. >> jonathan yeah, luck. >> you want to talk about the evidence that's being collected right now. it's being collected by the un. now, dig down a little further and you're going to realize that there's only one major agency that has been active inside

gaza and that has been unwra. and we know that unwra has been a partner with hamas in carrying out the war crimes that we're talking about that hamas has admitted, by the way, no one is talking about the fact that hamas has been diverting aid when it comes into gaza. why are we not talking about the siege? so get their putting on their own people. and one more thing here, i've got it just say is that if you look at what the charges are, that the icc is brought, they are not talking about shooting charges. they're not talking about kinetic strikes that they're calling war crimes on the part of the israelis because they know that israel has actually conducted itself on the battlefield in ways that far exceed the united states or any other western power in recent years on the battlefield, that ratio of civilian to combat and deaths is drastically lower. they know they can't bring those charges, so they tried this hail mary and it's just simply not going you know, i i hear what you're saying, but i want you to kind of address that just the

substance of the issue of especially when it comes to food and water and basic human needs. the united states had to build a pier on the coast of gaza to get aid in because it was so difficult to get the israelis to allow basic aid in overland, not just aid trucks are coming in? that is true, but not as many as were coming in before the war. and independent observers have said basic things are being blocked at the borders by israel for all kinds of different reasons. all of that adds up to something that i i mean, i think some people would say at least should be under scrutiny. do you think israel should even be subject to scrutiny for how it is carrying out this war. >> look, of course, it should be under scrutiny in every country that wages war will come under scrutiny in today's day and age. i actually went to

i went to cyprus a few weeks ago and i went and talked to the people that we're going to build this pier and the people that we're going to deliver aid to this pier and the people that we're going to vet it. and i can i can just tell you that the amount of time and effort that went into this, you've got israeli customs agents sitting over there reviewing these packages because they were so uncomfortable with the way that it was coming in from egypt or the things that were coming in directly to their ports and they couldn't process them well enough. they took the criticism that the united states leveled and they've taken action and so now we have this incredible system, where the united states has built up here. we've got the cypriot authorities, we've got the emirati, we've got the israelis reviewing what comes through and approving it and then sending it on. and we're going to see a massive uptake, by the way here, israeli, yes, there's are all it sounds like that's what you're acknowledging that there was there was a problem. this is a war zone. this, but there are problems in every war zone, media and there are always going to be challenges. can i always go ahead, ready? can i

can i can i just come in and respond to something jonathan said a moment ago. he said the only evidence we have of war crimes as being collected as by un and by underwear. and there will compromise. that's just not true. >> i myself have interviewed on my show multiple american doctors who are on the ground in gaza who have testified to what is going on, what they're seeing with their own laying eyes. >> i have a friend who is a doctor who went out and served in the european hospital in gaza. he saw children being brought into the hospital with gunshot wounds to the head, right? those are crimes. those have been witnessed by american consider isms, british citizens, french citizens, they're all on the record to pretend this is just about hamas or unrwa is nonsense, right? there. evidence is there for any man an international lawyer and nor nor the doctors, it is not up to you to decide what crime is. and by the way, ensure that i agree. i agree. i agree. it's up to the chief prosecutor of the icc, who is a lawyer very respected. and can i finish my point just to go back to what abby said at the start. if they don't want to be

charged with war crimes, maybe they shouldn't have done war crimes. yoav gallant is being charged with starvation. this is amanda defense minister of israel, who said on october the 9th, i'm ordering a total seed of golf no fuel, no electricity, no food. it's closed. >> what maybe he shouldn't have said and done that, maybe he wouldn't have an arrest warrant or other application for an arrest warrant against him today, if you haven't done that all right. >> maddie and jonathan, this man seriously we have to leave it there. >> thank you both very much for joining us and up next as donald trump's vice presidential contenders swarm the airwaves, election denialism seems to be a prerequisite for even being considered for the job will show you the tape next in the stanley cup fairclough life is on the line right now to now, the distractions goodness still feel hi hi. >> from pep in their step to shine in their coats.
