terrorist targets in the last 24 hours. here is the idf spokesperson defending the strikes. >> our operations against hamas in rafah remains limited in scope and focus on tactical advancements in key military advantages. they have avoided densely populated areas. >> we are covering the very latest and we are going to begin from cairo. how are civilians in rafah dealing with the latest evacuation order? what is it like?>> reporter: just to give you a sense of scale according to the u.n. we are talking 300,000-400,000 people on the move. that is about the population of pittsburgh. some of these people have been displaced multiple times from to the south, from the south further up north once again.

the military is going back and finding it areas it previously cleared. where there is nearly total destruction of residential buildings and infrastructure. this gives you a sense of not just intensified air strikes in the south where the prime minister is still allowing to conduct an offensive president biden hassle publicly stood against, but also in northern parts, in the eastern part of the gaza strip where they have withdrawn from. this is starting to look like a war for israel that has been going on for a long time. some of the goals they said they achieved earlier they are having to go back and secure once more. in our reporting over the last few days we spoke to some of these civilians who were fleeing. once again worried about a large-scale invasion of rafah. here is a portion of what prime

minister benjamin netanyahu had to say about why his government and military continue to focus on rafah as a target. >> translator: we are leaving for the unknown. there are no safe areas at all. >> we have destroyed about 20 battalions of hamas is 24 terrorist battalions. we have another for mexico. they are in rafah and that is what we want to go into rafah.>> reporter: it has to be noted for the last six days no eight have gone in. the two main border crossings remain closed. >> i want to pick up on something you just reported when you say the idf has have to go back and go to places they thought were cleared. how often is that happening? what is the likelihood if they go into rafah the same thing will happen in rafah again and again? in other words extending this

war indefinitely?>> reporter: so many analysts and military experts over the last several months have warned a military solution is not going to end the issue and the threat israel says it is safely inside the gaza strip. if only because you have an insurgent force facing a regular army and in any similar cases these types of threats come back in areas the regular army retreats from. there is also this very difficult challenge for a regular army fighting in civilian areas where you have what appears to be a civilian population, but within the civilian population of course you are going to have a fighting force as well. there are so many

complications. meantime, you have a civilian population on the move in the south, what we have been pretty -- reporting on. a majority of women and children are suffering with really nowhere to go many of them tell us as they are going from south to north and sometimes back again. >> we are hearing about them in my conditions. holly, you can standby. let's go to rehobeth beach, delaware. what are we hearing from the biden administration about the latest developments out of gaza today?>> reporter: we saw several headlines made out of secretary of state antony blinken's interviews. the focus of privately with on israel and this looming ground invasion of rafah, especially in the wake of the new evacuation orders. in one of

these interviews blinken notably did not define what the administrations randomized would be to suspend the weapon deliveries to israel. that comes despite the president making those comments in his interview with cnn last week saying he was suspended for the weapon deliveries to israel if it did carry out this full-blown ground invasion of rafah. we know more than 1 million palestinians have been sheltering. the white house has repeatedly said it would not support background offensive unless it thought a robust and credible plan by the israelis to not only protect but to relocate those civilians in that area. we saw our own christian yunker asked the secretary of state for an update on that on meet the press this morning. >> have you seen a credible plan? >> we have not. there is something else that is important. we have not seen a plan for what happens the day after this war ends.

the trajectory right now going into rafah, even to deal with these remaining battalions, especially in an absence of a plan risk doing terrible harm to civilians and are causing the problem -- solving the problem of making sure hamas cannot govern gaza.>> reporter: blinken also addressing that highly anticipated report by the state department released to congress on friday that concluded israel has violated international law in gaza. blinken saying there is a clear gap between what israel has said it's intention is and what the white house is seeing. he defended the report's conclusion that israel has not violated the terms of the u.s. israel weapons agreement. all of this putting a spotlight on what leverage the u.s. has exercised and what more it could do to event this invasion from happening. >> let's move right now to julie circuit joining us from

capitol hill. what have you heard from congressional members about this over the weekend? >> the report landed in congress's lap late friday. democrats who originally introduced legislation the president being transformed in the form of a provision to force israel to abide by humanitarian aid in order to continue to receive offensive and defensive weapons, primarily the ones they have been using in gaza in their campaign most recently, preparing to invade in rafah as well. in contrast take a listen to what was senator tom cotton, a republican, has to say about all of this. we will talk about it on the other side. >> israel is doing more than any military in history in all likelihood to prevent casualties. if hamas did not hide behind or

under civilians that would not be civilian casualties. for that matter if hamas surrendered there would not be any more civilian suffering. >> senator cotton misrepresented the position of president biden and the biden administration. prime minister netanyahu has repeatedly ignored the president's efforts to try to reduce civilian casualty, ignored efforts to try to get more humanitarian assistance and to god . ignore the priority of trying to bring back the hostages. >> in my conversations in the last few months with colleagues who feel very similarly as he does. they certainly support the president's latest comments, holding this aid in reviewing it until they can see if israel is abiding by international law. making sure those humanitarian aid core doors are open so that civilians can receive that

eight. republicans like senator tom cotton releasing this internal memo that i obtain on friday after congress received the report from blinken, criticizing the administration and president biden for not standing in israel's corner and as they face and wage this war against hamas. >> ladies, thank you all so much. coming up in our next hour i will talk with jasmine crockett about the biden administration ships on israel policy. i will get her take as well on the trump trial. the first donald trump couldn't resist talking about his trial in a rally this weekend. this headline sums up what happened on the jersey shore. the bk will be what happens when michael strahan 20 take the stand tomorrow. we will examine all of that when we are back in 90 seconds. starting with the sound system... that's caaaaaaaaash. cashback like a pro

one of the final chapters of the donald trump hush-money trial will begin tomorrow. michael: -- cohen takes the stand. meanwhile the former president took to the jersey shore at a campaign rally to as the washington post headlines put it in salt the prosecutor and engage in vulgar jabs. >> the radical left democrats

rigged the presidential election in 2020. we are not going to allow them in 2024. >> we have reporters covering what is expected to be a critical week in the manhattan courtroom. two things, how much do trump and his supporters railed against the trial at the rally? what can we expect to hear from cohen beginning tomorrow? >> yesterday we heard the former president at what he's been saying for months now. he believes the democrats are usually not only does hush money case, but all of his legal battles to interfere with the election and keep them off the campaign trail. yesterday we heard him add a slight twist, thinking now believes democrats plans are expiring. take a listen. >> i heard they were going to do a couple other things and

they said please don't do it. we are and i to come into the white house. >> looking ahead to tomorrow and the rest of the week the prosecution is set to ring in key witness michael cohen tomorrow, transformer personal attorney and self-described fixer who was set to testify not only about the $130,000 hush money payment to stormy daniels the head of the presidential election, we are expecting him to set my and trump's allege reimbursement of the payment, which is really the core of the case. the prosecution has already called more than a dozen witnesses. they could rest their case as early as the beginning of this week. joined me now the state attorney for palm beach county and the bloomberg legal reporter. good to see you both. before we get to what to expect in this fifth week of the trial, how bruising was the

past week for donald trump? >> happy mother's day, alex. good to be with you and patricia. i thought it was a bad week for donald trump. i think the key bit of evidence that came in against trump were the documents that showed donald trump has admitted to reimbursing michael cohen. he knew that it was a reimbursement and not legal fees. that really gets the ball game as long as michael cohen will testify to what we think he will, which is that there was direct evidence the donald trump knew about the falsification of business records. right now we have a pre-bottle. donald trump in a civil lawsuit against stormy daniels has admitted the $130,000 was a reimbursement and not legal fees. it didn't get a lot of attention because of all of the stormy daniels stuff.

people lie. documents don't. >> stormy daniels testimony, patricia, was all about her alleged tryst with donald trump when she was 18 years old. it may have been captivating and controversial, but was it effective? what did she reveal to the jury? >> the prosecutors said in a hearing that the story, while it seems irrelevant as to whether or not donald trump also business records, it goes to motive. why would he do this? the access hollywood tape had already come out. there was a rush by cohen and the campaign to cover it up to help donald trump's chances to get elected. >> as you pointed out in bloomberg, patricia, this week the prosecution showed jurors this 2018 tweet from donald trump where he says michael cohen was reimbursed for a

monthly retainer, clarifying it was not from the campaign, after issue -- entering into a nda with stormy daniels. he writes it's very common among celebrities and people of wealth. can you explain why this was important for the jury to see? >> donald trump has been most of the trial saying this i never happened and michael cohen is a liar and so is stormy daniels. you have this document now. donald trump says i know about stormy daniels. and yeah, michael cohen, you know, this was a nondisclosure agreement. it kind of shoots his arguments in the foot. how can he put any distance of not knowing what michael cohen was doing? it's basically the entire defense, trying to put as much sunlight between them, the story and michael cohen as possible. blaming everything on michael

cohen. this basically blows set up. >> so dave, the jury has seen a lot of evidence, the tweets, text exchanges, they heard the details down to the convoluted way donald trump had to sign checks that were sent to him. often he uses a sharpie and he did that while in the white house. has the prosecution cut through the tawdry testimony to puzzle together how he falsified those 11 checks, 11 invoices and 12 ledger injuries -- entries? have they made their case? >> yes, alex. i am convinced the prosecution has made his case. the only defense left for trump is to cohen -- tar cohen so much the jury throws out the whole thing.

the suite is really important. it cooperates the admission that trump made in a 2018 lawsuit with stormy daniels that the $130,000 payment was a reimbursement. here he is on that sweet saying that very thing, along with there was a conflict of interest form filed while in the white house that echo this. that is the whole case, that it was a reimbursement for hush money and that trump knew about it. all you need now is for michael cohen to testify directly the truck was in on the scheme and it is the ball game. >> adding to that the prosecution strategy they are trying to make donald trump out to be a real micromanager. that are as into this? >> exactly. the defense will have you believe it was so chaotic and he was signing things and not knowing it. meanwhile you have his own comptroller say trump was so involved with every detail that he did not want me to pay bills

automatically. he wanted me to use bills as an negotiating starting point. when it comes to michael cohen your paying $35,000 a month over many months for a $130,000 fee? he would question the amount? he would assign it automatically? it is circumstantial evidence. but circumstantial evidence is very powerful for prosecutors. >> let's go now to michael cohen, expected to take the stand tomorrow. here he is in 2019 testifying to congress right before he was sent to jail for a series of taxing campaign-finance charges. >> trump is a con man. he asked me to pay off an adult film star with whom he had an affair and to my about it to

his wife, which i did. mr. trump directed me to use my own personal funding him a home- equity line of credit to avoid any money being traced back to him that could negatively impact his campaign. the matt patricia, the jury has not likely her michael cohen tell his story. what can we expect from his testimony? >> we've all heard michael cohen's story over and over again those of us who closely followed the trump case. this jury has now seen, i think the d.a. has really laid out the groundwork to prepare the jury to hear. the jury has heard some witnesses thought he was a jerk or that he called himself mr. fixer. he was the guy who usually broke things first as hope hicks testify. they really laid the groundwork for michael cohen to tell his story. i agree completely with my colleague here. the paperwork is they are. now michael cohen comes in and fills in the blanks.

>> he has painted donald trump out to be his foal. we saw him on tiktok this week. he was wearing his podcasts t- shirt depicting the former president behind bars. what would your advice be to the prosecution as they are bringing cohen to the stand? do they say tone it down? is it risky? >> they have no other choice. he is the one person, as patricia just said, that can provide direct evidence to seal the deal. so far it has been collaborating evidence or circumstantial. powerful, but michael cohen is the one person who can tie donald trump to the falsification of the business records that he knowingly and intentionally did so. otherwise they're going to say you don't have enough proof. michael cohen is the proof. if i were the prosecutor i would advise cohen to tone it down and to stop tweeting.

now he's under a gag order. the terms that it's not a good look. it doesn't help anyone to have this back and forth. it doesn't help the prosecution's case. >> in cross examination rb wants to see the defense approach cohen the way that is stormy daniels? trying to poke holes, attack character and past behavior? >> it will be like a cross examination of stormy daniels and their rights. they are going to go after him in a big way. i think it's going to be a brawl. if only they had television cameras in the courtroom. notice to new york, you need to change of policy. it's not right that we cannot see this. they also have to be careful. they could go too far. >> okay. good to see you both and thank you so much for your time.

nowhere from president biden on the growing concern around his poll numbers. during a fundraising event yesterday the president acknowledged the election will be close, but noted in the primaries is running much stronger than donald trump who has lost hundreds of thousands of votes to form a candidate nikki haley. he capped off the sentiment thank i know a lot of people like to look at the polls, but i like to look at the actual votes. joining me now is the former

white house press secretary for the obama administration. good to see you, my friend. the president, what does it mean that he likes to look at the votes? right now what's he checking out? >> there has been criticism is this president the right president to be running for re- election? if you look at the votes that he has gotten in democratic primaries it shows he is strong with the democratic base. even just this week donald trump is losing 22% of the votes to nikki haley who hasn't actively campaigned in months. she suspended her campaign months ago. i think what he's trying to do is get people to focus on this notion there is a decent chunk of the republican votes months after the campaign has been over that has not coalesced around donald trump. are those quite frankly secret voters the biden campaign is

and should be talking to in hopes of peeling off even just a few of them to vote for president biden's re-election in the fall. >> the president has thrown a number of jabs and donald trump over the last couple of days, calling him unhinged. saying something snapped in the former president. is running on trump attacks the best approach at this stage of the race? what do you think? >> i think anyone running for re-election at a presidential level has to do two things. you have to talk about what you are going to do over the course of the next four years and why you are the best person for it. you certainly want to make this a choice and not simply a referendum on you. i think what president biden is doing is trying to make sure the behavior that people remember and the behavior that sometimes feels normalized because it is not surprising anymore, we see it day after day

. it reminds people of the chaos. it reminds people of the dysfunction they saw for 4 years in the white house with someone like donald trump. i think it is important to talk about not just what he brings to the job in his mental state around january 6 and the 2020 elections. but also focus on what i vote for donald trump with me from a policy perspective and how that would impact middle-class voters. i think all of those things has to be part of what joe biden sells to the american people in order to get another four-year term. >> another thing, do you think it is wise that the president has not weighed in at all and donald trump's legal travails? as donald trump says to his fans and his space this is a joe biden targeted trial against me. joe biden is not talking about it at all. >> no, he's not.

it is more for presidents of any medical party to stay out of the judicial system, particularly one where the judicial system has ensnared his opponent. i think it is important for people to understand these are grand jury that have indicted former president donald trump. there are juries listening to this case and to other cases. this isn't just a rogue justice department society without getting indictments to somehow bring up a political opponent into a courtroom. i think donald trump says a lot of things to try to make a lot of excuses. i think it is good for president biden to be out on the stump talking about both what's wrong will do in the next four years if he returns to the white house and went by was to do much more than to play courtroom reporter and donald trump. >> let's take a listen to what

happened during his cnn interview when president biden was asked what advice he received from your former boss, president obama of course. >> what his advice is the same advice i sort of gave him when i was vice president. look, you've got to organize. knock and tackle. we have over 1.5 million contributors in america. >> it sounds like what he is describing is a grassroots campaign. is that enough to compete with donald trump was mingling with billionaires and trying to make these major deals with ceos of major companies. >> i think the biden campaign can take some of what donald trump has pledged to do for all and gas executives. and this is been going on for

several months. you heard this back in january. president obama is concerned about the infrastructure of the campaign. i think clearly the biden campaign and president biden have responded. they have hired a ton of people. they have added the infrastructure to do the doorknocking, to do the voter contacts, to do the things that need to happen. he knows peeling off just a little bit of that vote in those red counties and selling the discontent about whether donald trump can actually be the president of the united states, all of those both the could accrue to him are important. i think democrats, president obama, at-large people feel a lot better about the infrastructure the biden campaign has built and how they set themselves up for the last six months of this race. >> always good to hear your insights.

in less than 24 hours the center witness in the trial of a former president is expected to appear in court.

michael cohen will take the stand in what is expected to be nearly a full week of testimony. in one of his many roles he served as a go-between between trump and so-called catch and kill operations. join me now in studio lachlan cartwright special correspondent for the hollywood reporter. before we look ahead to tomorrow i do want to ask a little bit about the courthouse and the proceedings you been watching this past week. the things that you heard, the impression that you got from stormy daniels, trump's reaction. take it away. >> it has been fascinating to see her in court with donald trump everyday. there was a day last week where it was eric trump. i said a couple of rows behind him as stormy daniels was given this quite graphic blow-by-blow of what was going on at the

hotel suite. he was sort of looking down at his phone. on thursday when stormie came back donald trump enter with an entourage. it seems like they brought in more people to have support. they knew stormie was coming back with more. i thought she was absolutely brilliant. they threw everything at her. they tried to accuse her of being crazy, of being fame hungry, of being money hungry. she was calm under pressure. she dug deep as she pushed back. i think michael cohen will do well in taking a lesson from that for what he is going to come up against. >> i am going to play what mary trump told me. here is what she said. taking listen, everybody. >> donald trump is incapable of shame or embarrassment. he is capable of humiliation. the kinds of details revealed in the courtroom aren't really

the kind that bother him. he has no problem being seen as somebody who is leaving and doesn't treat women well. in fact unfortunately he takes it as a badge of honor. having said that i thought that stormy daniels was incredibly sincere. i thought she came across very well. >> you are in sync with mary trump and her interpretation. how about the jury and donald trump? how did he react and how much did they pay attention? so salacious, a lot of the things she was saying. were they put off? were they riveted? statement always hard to know what they are thinking. what donald trump was thinking was very evident. he was muttering under his breath. he took issue with stormy

daniels telling the story of rolling up the forbes magazine and spanking him. you could tell this was starting to get to him. i was thinking that this was triggering for him hearing stormy daniels talk about what was going on next week michael cohen, as in this coming week, is going to be even more aggravating for him. his one time lawyer, his fixer, he's now broken the gag order several hours, he's going to have to sit there and listen. is he going to be able to abide by that gag order? >> was eric trump in the courtroom when stormie was testifying about that behavior with his father? >> he was. i was sitting two rows back. his head was down. he was looking at his phone or something to distract himself. >> it is true you cannot interpret how the jury is interpreting things. were they riveted? was anyone looking away or

looking down at their hands? >> they were very engaged. some are taking notes. they were definitely engaged in what was going on. even some of the more drier witnesses, the ones really drilling into the documents. you can see different jurors are really paying attention. it was almost like being in a tennis match where they are looking as the volley of information goes back and forth. >> michael cohen, do you have any reason to expect he will tell us something we don't already know? >> i don't think so. where michael cohen place such a pretty row , we have been privy to this key tapestry, this rich tapestry may not from that meeting on august 15.

what michael cohen could do is be the weaver and come in and weave all of these details there is a singly together right through to the stormy daniels payoff, which then occurs these falsifications of business records. michael cohen is the connecting tissue that pulls all of this together. i'm not expecting some big bombshell. i am expecting for him to leave all this together. >> how much do you think michael cohen is coming into this thing thinking i am the only one who has spent time in prison, the only one who has had to pay for this. do you worry that he might come in a little too hot? >> that has always been the concern not just from people around michael cohen, but i think also the prosecution.

that is something the defense will definitely play on. if you mean they are going to try to wrap him up? >> they will start aggravating him. they will say you have perjured yourself. they will go off to a number of things. they will look at the same things that they tried to do with stormy daniels, triggering her on different elements of her past. what happened told by people who have been advising michael cohen is that he knows he has to be cool, calm and collected. that he is going into this having taken a bit of a chill pill and not being this bombastic caricature of himself. just being able to sit there and answer the questions. if he can do that it is going to be a big win. >> you lived this story, lachlan. is there one thing that you think seals the deal for michael cohen ? is there

something where you are and i get that out there and testify that into evidence as a singly or clearly as you can and this is it? >> what did donald trump know? when did donald trump know it? when were those checks signed? the one thing here that michael cohen needs to submit in places donald trump's involvement. he can do that. he can actually put trump in a room. for instance the meeting with david , he can put him in the room with the filing of the checks. he can weave this altogether for this rich tapestry for the jury to go off just ask memorial day hits and consider all of the evidence. >> when you think about this experience that you have had and is playing out, the billionaire, the star, the

fixer, when you see this playing out in court what goes through your mind? >> how do i live this and survived to tell the story? i consider myself very lucky that i was able to get out and be of some use two different news outlets as a source. first wall street journal on the eve of the election. >> a big risk, by the way. >> a risk to myself and my immigration status, which papers were sent to my attorney threatening to basically have me kicked out of the country if i spoke up. subsequent to that helping the new york times and the new yorker in getting other stories out there. i consider myself very lucky. if i had been in on this scheme i would have been testify in my career would have been over. i am very lucky that i was able

to rebuild and that's two jobs ago now for me. is be much i'm going to tell everyone if interested they should read yours sorry. you have written an extraordinary town about all that you went through. -- tale about what you went through. >> part of the reason that i wrote it is for anyone having the screws put under them on a professional or personal situation to know you will be able to get out on the other side. if i can get myself out of all of this. >> extraordinary reading. as always thank you so much. the countdown again soon at the baltimore bridge. what happens in the next few hours is critical. we have a lab report coming your way next. g your way next.
