the exact ends the bill is currently on the senate side of the legislature. as we mentioned, it does have bipartisan support. >> in an historic moment, former president donald trump went on trial in new york city today is facing charges related to alleged hush money payments made ahead of the 2016 election. washington correspondent hannah brandt has the story. >> donald trump is the first former president to stand trial in a criminal case. and this is the first of his 4 criminal indictments to go to trial. former president donald trump emerged from day one of his trial angry. it's just >> it continues continues the case centers on accusations that the former president illegally falsified business records. prosecutors say he was trying to cover up hush money payments to adult film. actress stormy daniels. case

putting up a gate with then this is the same exact road that we drove down along with the rest of the protest to stop here. so they continue their protest. like we said, they were planning come here to the tesla factory. >> and will follow these tesla workers real quick that they're putting up a gate and it looks look at this. these are people who are not even part of the protests that are trying to drive through this road here. and it looks like that they're not only cutting off one way going westbound, but now they're cutting off the other way going eastbound. it's turning it to be quite a headache not sure what the coronation was here took place these gates up here. and as you can see through the fence, there are still some people looking to join this protest. people who are arriving a little bit later. again, this is a protest, a 50 or 60 different people. and now it looks like that the force of some of these people to turn around here. it looks like this roadway here is now being blocked by tesla workers. so we'll turn back around here in walked back with these tesla workers. and again, this is the main entrance here. the south, lot for the tesla

factory based out of here in fremont. and this is when we talk with organizers for this protest again, they wanted to have this on april 15th tax day where we also had protests on the golden gate bridge as well as on 8.80, in oakland and we 38 people get arrested there. now we asked what organizers how they felt about people being protested and asked if they're ready to be arrested here as well. if it comes to that, they said that they are ready and they said that the fact that a lot of their people who helped organize protests against all 3 of these protests are connected. they set that it's proof that people are maybe listening to them and listening to their protests that have been ongoing now for it for about 6 months now. so we're going to keep walking down the road here up with some more of the protesters there you can see people are really high energy here lots of buses coming down this way. looks like they may be here to pick up employees for a shuttle. and again, like i said, that's the main gate here. and we're walking up to where the majority of the

protesters are most of them drove here. it would turn out to quite a long drive, even though it's not that far. but distance from the fremont want start in general driving here to take a while. so know i said that they're much a day just to the south day now. it looks like a lot of people drove their by to put it back date. what you got a son and a little bit right here. >> the shift work that's going on there looks like employees are going to be able to get or out, at least in that location. how's this going to affect operations at the tesla plant? >> got a looks like it for

looks at some people trying to leave. i denny walked by some of these protesters here and looks like some of them are actually getting into their shift through that back gate right there. but as of right now, looks like not many people can drive the tesla factory and again, as you saw just a minute ago retest workers actually blocking off this entire roadway. here for traffic for whether or not you're a protester, not we're not sure how long this road here will be blocked off and it looks >> so, jack, as you fall down right now from people driving by, especially that big sorry. go so is that the in gress? is there any grass, to that property? are they are they moving on to perhaps another opening? entry point? >> it looks like that they're

moving to where it looks like they're moving into a lot of people leave a more. and it looks like both a look at it at your way and in way that they walk into right but i'm not sure where we're going to stop right but we'll keep following these people as they're walking, trying to find out what we're going to stop and really looks like, though we're trying to also because we're watching. star go real quick chat that we're we're almost out of time here. >> remind that the reason why they're at the tesla plant and how elon musk may have some involvement in all of that's right. with the chat with a few of organizers for the protests and part of the reasoning for protesting today was that what they call economic they say and elon musk creator of time slot. >> our are one of the biggest producers of automobiles. now in the united states. and so they want to make a statement here block people from going

to work, leaving work as and really just make a showing to the country. and other leaders right there sorry about that big crowd and had a little stumble. right back where we were talking to the organizers of the protest here who told that they really wanted to make us in a statement to to tesla, to other business industry leaders around the country as well as our federal leaders they really want to make a statement to say that it's not ok keep spending our taxpayer dollars dollars and sending to to israel and the ongoing war of what's happening here. and it looks like that they actually if if we turn around the camera, looks like that they're moving some of the gates themselves. the protesters are taking down those gates that the tesla workers put up. we're going to walk a little bit this way, try to get some footage. and so you guys watching these protesters taking down the fences that were set up the workers. >> think they're really just

trying the tax dollars spend money on and make a statement right here at the factory there and playing well, there certainly moving and making a statement to the tesla workers who put them up >> most put them back up doubt to elon musk who is never shy about speaking out, will have something to say about this. what he says on exxon former in a moment so we're being told, ok, his stay on this jack, are you still with us? >> yes, i yes, i am so you guys many of these protesters took the very same questions about tesla employees put up to block parts from coming it out again. but he spent lot of people not even part test driving down and yeah, so you can some of protests a lot of the right. so it looks this is part of on-ramp going north and south. so they hope

visible for cars driving by as well as you people talking as showing some support for these protesters. i'm good job get back to you later on this evening. that's our jack live for us at the tesla factory in fremont. >> the scene of yet another protest we're going abrupt changing gears here and go to sports. jason dumas. >> and now kron 4 sports. >> the dogs were back in the lap today prepping for their play-in game against the kings on tuesday. the plan has been around 3 years now, but it's still weird concept at the nba level. the warriors are playing in a win or go home scenario almost like it's the ncaa tournament. they definitely did not want to be in this situation, but now they simply have to embrace it. good thing for them is they're playing pretty good basketball right now. meanwhile, the kings, they are playing all that well. they

have been dealing with some injuries, but steph knows it does not matter. the doug will have to be locked in if they want to have their season continues. >> but as we're because we haven't played a long we had a lot of matches earlier in the year. you know, another without moliga herders. so they have some other guys that have been a part of their rotation. we have some guys that step reach a son. bp guys. i really want to buy the rotation. last time we played them. so there's some unknowns on both sides. but unknown is the core guys who were in that series last year to play each other 4 times a year that we know each other pretty well. coaches that know each other well, so as a little another dynamic to it, they should be fun. competition month. >> with the second pick in the 2024 wnba draft. los angeles sparks select. >> cameron brink state. >> let's go. she was emotional
