2024. trump on the stand? the former president's hush money trial nearing its end, one big question still remains -- will mr. trump testify? the latest from inside the new york city courtroom. no excuses. sean combs speaks out after a video shows him assaulting an ex-girlfriend outside a hotel. in his own words. an nbc news exclusive i sit down with actor drake bell, his first broadcast interview since the docu-series "quiet on set." he talked about the abuse he suffered as a child actor and why he's speaking out. >> things were spiraling out of control personally and mentally and i thought maybe this could help in the healing process and also help others who have gone through the same situations or similar situations. road to recovery. how a health scare led me to

open up about my own reproductive health. the warning signs and how you can take control of your health. it was a scary experience, but one i'm glad we get to share with you. >> i'm glad you're sharing this to help other people. we begin this hour with the criminal trial of former president donald trump. >> we know now the date of closing arguments will begin. tuesday, may 28th. the judge announcing that date today saying he wants to make sure there's no delay from the end of closing arguments to start of jury deliberations. . this week the court is in session today, tomorrow and thursday. >> the jury did hear new testimony from michael cohen, third day under cross examination. the big outstanding question, will the former president take the stand and testify in his own defense? leading us off this hour nbc news correspondent dasha burns

is outside the courtroom in lower manhattan. dasha, let's start with you. what new information did the jury hear during testimony today in. >> reporter: couple of major moments that builds on on the cross-examination from the defense that we heard last week, number one the defense got michael cohen to admit today that he stole money from the trump organization that's big for the jury, because now not only can the defense paint him as an unreliable narrator, as a liar, but also as a thief. another major moment last week, when the defense talked to cohen about a phone call he made to trump's bodyguard, where the defense showed text messages about a 14-year-old that was making harassing phone calls to michael cohen and cohen was talking to schiller about that, that's all the phone call was about, they also discussed

stormy daniels the reason this phone call is so important this is one of those pieces of evidence that the prosecution is trying to use to tie michael cohen, this hush money scheme all back to former president trump, to say he knew about it, he directed it, and that's been in question today, there was a big moment where the jury was sent out of the courtroom and the prosecution, defense and the judge all argued about whether or not to show an image from video showing them together after a rally just moments before a phone call that was made from michael cohen to keith schiller. ultimately that was admitted into evidence and this back and forth on this phone call is really important for the jury, again, connecting the dots back to trump, the question also lays out once hearing this, is trump going to demand that he get a chance to testify? we still don't know if we'll see the former president on the stand in his own defense in.

>> dasha, thank you. the day started with the judge hearing from both sides when it comes to rules regarding the jury, what exactly are those and why is that so critical in this case specifically. >> the rules for the jury are called jury instructions, for every case there exists standard jury instructions and basically what it does it allows the jury to understand the legal principles. to come up with a decision. they're super important. such a tug of war for the prosecution and the defense over what the jury instructions will say because each of the party do get to tailor it. each side will want to tailor it to the nary ray tif to overall case. >> cohen is a key witness -- >> the defense made some really great points, there was

effective testimony, but i think it was too long and meandering, some of the reports said that the jurors weren't paying attention, they were look at the wall, that's not good, you want to keep the jury's attention when you're making those effective points, he'll have an opportunity to close on those points, losing the jury can be detrimental to a case. >> thank you both. we're hearing for the first time from sean combs following the release of that disturbing surveillance video. >> combs took to instagram over the weekend saying he was quote disgusted by himself. >> my behavior on that video is inexcusable. i take full responsibility. for my actions in that video. >> chloe melas has more on what combs said.

you've seen the pictures, they're stunning for any iranian watching. it's being shown on the wreckage on tv. we're hearing from one u.s. official that iran even reached out to the u.s. according to -- to get assistance. in a region that's already unstable in the middle east. at the same time, just reached an adviser in tehran and he was adamant there won't be a shift in their policy. >> this is a big loss. i don't want to minimize that. i don't want to down play it. but when we're talking about the general direction of the state, it goes beyond any individual, it goes beyond the leader. >> reporter: so often these

events illuminate the divisions and the u.s. now tonight sending condolences but to the iranian people u.s. support the iranian people's fight for freedom. >> all right, keir simmons, thank you. it's time now for the money minute. disneyland actors just completed a major vote. >> and openai is losing its voice. kate rogers joins us now. mickey mouse and cinderella are unionizing u performers at disneyland have voted to join actors equities. they'll discuss improving wages, benefits and working conditions before meeting with disney management. digital pharmacy startup is adding weight loss options.

arrest these men. but still it's a big problem, mostly symbolic, it won't surprise you to hear the reaction from bottle sides has been absolutely indignant. prime minister netanyahu addressing he'll. >> what a travesty of justice, what a disgrace the prosecutors oh absurd charges against me and the defense minister. to deny israel the basic right of self-defense. >> so, obviously, he's very angry and we're hearing from the palestinians, from hamas, they're very angry. they see this not just as an outrage because of the substance of the allegations, but this is main thing the moral equivalence of this. they don't like being in the same boat as the other.

happening in gaza. >> matt bradley, welcome to new york. hope you get to stay at least a couple of days before you head back. to a major development in francis scott key bridge in baltimore the large cargo ship has now been freed. >> small tug boats guide it to a near marine port. nbc news senior correspondent tom costello has the latest. >> reporter: a massive moment. it is no longer stuck underneath the key bridge here at the river. they waited until high tide this morning, just before 7:00 a.m. began slowly moving the dali ship, massive cargo container ship for two months, it was a big operation, it started last week when they had to blow up pieces of the metal bridge that were still laying on the top of

those individuals are staying on the ship for not, not at all clear what will happen to them when it gets back over to the terminal. as the ntsb has already determined that a power failure before the dali ever left port may have been part of what caused this accident, this criminal investigation now looking into why it ever left port if they knew they were having power problems. >> tom, thank you. we're 66 days away from the 2024 summer olympics in paris, can you believe it? and over the weekend, fans got the chance to preview some of the athletes that could represent team usa in gymnastics, the headliner of course simone biles who won the all-around title and nbc news correspondent stephanie gosk takes a look at biles' win and some of the others we could soon

fibroid has been removed, it's the first step in my road to recovery and one i hope will encourage women to take their health into their own hands. >> joining us now is the director at in nyu center for fibroid care and she's zinhle's doctor. can we start -- i know you're feeling well, how are you feeling. >> i'm much improved and you know what it's kind of embarrassing because of those clips in the hospital i was on the phone i was in denial. i think i can go to work for the next day, i was wrong. my symptoms had been dismissed. my mom had fibroids. yet i still ended up in the hospital. i wanted to share this story so hopefully more women can know what signs to look out for and what treatment is out there. >> and speak up.

let's start with the treatments. what are the treatments that are out there. >> there are an array of treatments. you heard about a few in the video that we discussed in the office, medications, procedures and then there are surgical procedures hysteroscopy. >> so the way i like to think about it, we can either shrink the fibroids or remove the fibroids or remove the uterus. >> which is drastic. >> what do people need to know, both of you, what are the warning signs? >> i think on my end i had normalized things like heavy cramping, long periods, bleeding during my periods through my clothing and it wasn't until i met the doctor and i went oh,

that wasn't normal despite the fact that i had been raising my hand. >> i think it's -- the symptoms are so normalized by women, we have to put up with really bad periods every month, this is part of being a woman, i hear that every day which kind of drives me crazy, no we don't have to put up with it, we have lots of options for you and the most important thing is that you understand how you're feeling, you understand the symptoms and you can decide whether or not -- >> how do the fibroids get there in the first place? >> well, they are smooth muscle tumors, they're fed by estrogen. every woman of reproductive years has and it feeds the tumors and they grow slowly, they're benign, very low risk of cancer. but they create all kinds of problems for women. >> we had all those terms up on the screen where they're

located. always in the uterus? >> that predicts your symptoms, really, the last type is the one that bleeds. not a lot of fibroids bleed. i was buying larger clothes but i wasn't bleeding. they don't have to bleed. >> for me i wanted to share because i think people should know if you're dealing with this, take a friend, don't do it allow. i started a group chat, the uterus union. i named my largest fibroid cowboy carter. >> because you're a beyonce. >> yes. >> such good tips. >> ask hi, i'm eileen. i live in vancouver, washington and i write mystery novels. as i was writing, i found that i just wasn't sharp and that doesn't work when you're writing a mystery and i knew i needed to do something so i started taking prevagen. i realized that i was much more clear,
