I'M LINSEY DAVIS.

AS WE COME ON THE AIR, NEW YORK

AUTHORITIES ARE ISSUING A

WARNING AHEAD OF PASSOVER.

OFFICIALS SAY THE HOLIDAY, WHICH

BEGINS TOMORROW, MAY SERVE AS A

CATALYST FOR EXTREMIST GROUPS TO

COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST

JEWISH FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES.

MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN

THAT EXTREMIST GROUPS MAY VIEW

FAITH-BASED COMMUNITIES.

THOUGH THE DOCUMENT CITES NO

SPECIFIC THREATS, IT ADDS

JEWISH PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS

CONTINUE TO BE THE TARGET OF

VIOLENT ATTACKS, TARGETED

HARASSMENT, HATE CRIMES, AND

THREATS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE

ONSET OF THE ISRAEL/HAMAS WAR."

IT COMES AFTER A RABBI

ASSOCIATED WITH NEW YORK CITY'S

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TOLD JEWISH

STUDENTS TO GO HOME THIS WEEK

FOLLOWING PRO-PALESTINIAN

DEMONSTRATIONS ON CAMPUS.

WRITING TODAY IN AN EMAIL,

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY'S PUBLIC

SAFETY AND THE NYPD CANNOT

GUARANTEE JEWISH STUDENTS'

SAFETY.

THOSE PROTESTS BEGAN AFTER THE

SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT WAS GRILLED

ON CAPITOL HILL ABOUT

ANTI-SEMITISM ON CAMPUS.

>> THERE'S EVIDENCE OF

ANTI-SEMITISM AMONG PROFESSORS

THERE HAVE BEEN CONSEQUENCES.

100 DEMONSTRATORS ARRESTED ON

CAMPUS THURSDAY.

TONIGHT COLUMBIA IS RESPONDING,

SAYING THAT THEY ARE LISTENING

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT, ADDING THAT

STUDENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST

SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON REMAINS

UNCERTAIN.

THREE REPUBLICANS HAVE COME OUT

ABC'S JAY O'BRIEN REPORTS IN

TONIGHT FROM CAPITOL HILL.

JOHNSON'S FUTURE AS SPEAKER OF

THE HOUSE IN JEOPARDY.

HARD-LINE MEMBERS OF HIS OWN

PARTY DEDICATED TO OUSTING HIM

OVER.

>> Reporter: AFTER THE DRAMATIC

SATURDAY VOTE, WHERE DEMOCRATS

HELPED THE SPEAKER PASS

$95 BILLION IN AID, INCLUDING

LONG-STALLED ASSISTANCE FOR

UKRAINE AND ISRAEL.

JOHNSON TELLING ME HE'S NOT

GOING ANYWHERE.

>> DO YOU BELIEVE YOU WILL STILL

BE THE SPEAKER COME NOVEMBER?

>> YES.

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT

QUESTION?

>> YES.

>> Reporter: TWO OTHER

REPUBLICANS NOW JOINING

CONGRESSWOMAN MARJORIE TAYLOR

GREENE IN HER CAMPAIGN TO TOPPLE

THE SPEAKER.

>> THE HOUSE IS IN CHAOS.

PART OF THE REASON WE'RE DOING

THIS IS TO GET US BACK OUT OF

CHAOS.

>> Reporter: FOREIGN AFFAIRS

COMMITTEE CHAIR MICHAEL McCAUL

SAYING THE SPEAKER TOLD

CONFIDANTS HE WANTED TO BE ON

THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.

>> I THINK THE RESPECT FOR HIM

HAS GONE WAY UP, BECAUSE HE DID

THE RIGHT THING IRRESPECTIVE OF

HIS JOB.

>> Reporter: FAR RIGHT

REPUBLICANS ANGRY THE SPEAKER

DIDN'T FOCUS INSTEAD ON PASSING

STRICT BORDER SECURITY

LEGISLATION, BUT THOSE SAME GOP

LAWMAKERS REJECTING A BIPARTISAN

BORDER BILL FROM THE SENATE TWO

MONTHS AGO AT THE DIRECTION OF

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP.

IN A RARE MOVE, MODERATE

DEMOCRATS PRAISING THE

REPUBLICAN SPEAKER.

>> I, FRANKLY, DO NOT BELIEVE

HIS SPEAKERSHIP IS AT RISK.

>> Reporter: BUT PROGRESSIVE

DEMOCRATS NOT JUMPING AT THE

CHANCE TO SAVE THE EMBATTLED

CONSERVATIVE SPEAKER.

>> DOING THE DECENT THING AS

ALLIES AND FRIENDS OF VARIOUS

NATIONS AND COUNTRIES, THAT'S

JUST DOING THE BARE MINIMUM.

>> Reporter: AND, LINSEY,

CONGRESSWOMAN GREENE HASN'T EVEN

FULLY COMMITTED TO CALLING A

VOTE TO OUST JOHNSON, SAYING SHE

INTEND WANTS HIM TO RESIGN, BUT

THE SPEAKER HAS BEEN CLEAR HE

WON'T.

LINSEY.

>> Linsey: JOHNSON SOUNDS

CONFIDENT.

JAY, THANK YOU.

>>> A POTENTIAL TIKTOK BAN IS

PART OF THAT LEGISLATION THE

SENATE IS EXPECTED TO TAKE UP ON

TUESDAY.

LET'S BRING IN ABC'S MARYALICE

PARKS, WHO JOINS US NOW AT THE

WHITE HOUSE.

MARYALICE, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE

FOREIGN AID PACKAGE IF TIKTOK

WERE TO BE TAKEN OUT?

>> Reporter: YEAH, LINSEY,

STRIPPING TIKTOK OUT OF THIS

PACKAGE COULD FORCE PART OF THE

LEGISLATION BACK TO THE HOUSE TO

START THIS PROCESS ALL OVER.

NOW, THE LATEST VERSION GIVES

BYTEDANCE, TIKTOK'S PARENT

COMPANY, A YEAR TO SELL INSTEAD

OF SIX MONTHS.

AFTER THAT TIME, IT COULD FACE A

BAN IN THE U.S., AND OME KEY

DEMOCRATS LIKE SENATE COMMERCE

COMMITTEE CHAIR MARIA CANTWELL

SAY THAT WITH THOSE CHANGES,

THEY NOW BACK IT.

NOW, TIKTOK BOASTS OF NEARLY 170

MILLION USERS IN THE U.S.

SOME WRITING IN TO THE WHITE

HOUSE SEEN PROTESTING AGAINST

ANY POTENTIAL BAN, BUT THE WHITE

HOUSE STAFF TOLD ME FRIDAY THAT

PRESIDENT BIDEN WOULD SIGN THE

BILL IF IT REACHES HIS DESK,

THOUGH THEY DID PUSH BACK ON THE

IDEA OF CALLING IT SIMPLY A BAN.

NOW, THE EXPECTATION IS NOW THAT

THE FIGHT MOVES ON TO THE

COURTS.

OPPONENTS SAY THAT A BILL LIKE

THIS IS JUST UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

THOSE PUSHING IT, LINSEY, SAY

THAT TIKTOK IS A NATIONAL

SECURITY THREAT THAT HAS TO BE

ADDRESSED.

LINSEY.

>> Linsey: A LOT OF INTEREST ON

THIS.

MARYALICE, THANKS SO MUCH.

>>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS

RETURNING TO A MANHATTAN

COURTROOM TOMORROW FOR OPENING

STATEMENTS IN HIS HUSH MONEY

TRIAL.

TRUMP SPENT MOST OF LAST WEEK AT

THE DEFENSE TABLE AS A JURY OF

12 PLUS 6 ALTERNATES WERE

CHOSEN.

THE PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN

NOMINEE IS UNABLE TO CAMPAIGN,

BUT HE'S TRYING TO USE THE TRIAL

TO HIS POLITICAL ADVANTAGE.

HERE'S ABC'S SENIOR

INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT

AARON KATERSKY.

>> Reporter: TONIGHT, HOURS FROM

OPENING STATEMENTS IN HIS

HISTORIC CRIMINAL TRIAL, FORMER

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING THE

REALITIES OF BEING A CRIMINAL

DEFENDANT.

IN AN EMAIL TO SUPPORTERS, TRUMP

COMPLAINING, HE IS TRAPPED IN

COURT, WHERE STARTING TOMORROW

HE WILL HAVE TO SIT SILENTLY

WHILE PROSECUTORS SET OUT TO

PROVE HE FALSIFIED BUSINESS

RECORDS TO KEEP A PORN STAR'S

LONG-DENIED CLAIM OF AN

EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIR FROM

DAMAGING HIS ELECTORAL

PROSPECTS.

AMONG THE EARLY WITNESSES,

FORMER "NATIONAL ENQUIRER"

PUBLISHER, DAVID PECKER, WHO

PROSECUTORS SAY AGREED TO BE THE

EYES AND EARS OF TRUMP'S 2016

CAMPAIGN BY IDENTIFYING DAMAGING

STORIES ABOUT TRUMP AND KEEPING

THEM OUT OF PRINT.

THE JURY OF SEVEN MEN AND

FIVE WOMEN WAS SELECTED FROM A

POOL OF 200 NEW YORKERS.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN PRODUCT

DEVELOPMENT WHO SAID SHE DOESN'T

LIKE TRUMP AND A RETIRED WEALTH

MANAGER WHO SAID HE HAS NO

STRONG OPINION OF TRUMP, BECAUSE

HE'S MORE INTERESTED IN HIS

HOBBIES.

AHEAD OF OPENING STATEMENTS,

TRUMP'S ALLIES TODAY ECHOED HIS

CLAIM THE TRIAL IS POLITICAL.

>> I'M HOPING THAT THIS JUDGE

MAKES THE RIGHT DECISION, HOPING

THESE JURORS CAN COME IN AND BE

UNBIASED AND WILL LET THIS CASE

GO FORWARD IN A SWIFT MANNER

THAT ALLOWS PRESIDENT TRUMP TO

GET BACK ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.

AMERICANS DESERVE TO HEAR FROM

THEIR CANDIDATES.

>> Linsey: AARON KATERSKY JOINS

US NOW.

OF COURSE, TRIAL SET TO BEGIN

TOMORROW.

EXPECTED TO LAST ABOUT SIX

WEEKS, GIVE OR TAKE.

OF COURSE, DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID

THAT HE PLANS TO TESTIFY.

HOW LIKELY DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

>> LET'S SEE WHAT HIS LAWYERS

THINK ABOUT THAT, AND ONE OF THE

DECIDING FACTORS, LINSEY, MAY BE

HOW FAR PROSECUTORS CAN GO IN

THEIR CROSS-EXAMINATION.

WE'RE WAITING FOR THE JUDGE TO

DECIDE ON THAT.

EVEN IF HE DOESN'T TESTIFY,

TRUMP NEEDS TO BE IN COURT EVERY

DAY THE TRIAL IS IN SESSION.

SO, THAT TAKES HIM OFF THE

CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOUR DAYS A WEEK.

HE CAN SPEAK IN THE HALLWAY, AS

HE OFTEN DOES, BUT ONCE HE'S

SEATED AT THE DEFENSE TABLE,

TRUMP IS LARGELY RELEGATED TO

SILENCE.

>> Linsey: AND, OF COURSE, THE

HE DOES TAKE THE STAND.

>> THEY SURE DO.

>> Linsey: AUTHORITIES IN

MICHIGAN ARE SEARCHING FOR

ANSWERS AFTER A HORRIFIC TRAGIC

AT A CHILDREN'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.

A BROTHER AND SISTER JUST 5 AND

>> THE SCENE WAS DESCRIBED BY

LEVEL OF EMOTIONS OF THOSE

DIRECTLY INVOLVED AND THOSE WHO

WITNESSED THIS HORRIFIC

INCIDENT.

>> Reporter: THE 66-YEAR-OLD

SUSPECT, THE SHERIFF SAYS,

COOPERATING AT THE SCENE, TAKEN

INTO CUSTODY FOR OPERATING

WHILE INTOXICATED, CAUSING

DEATH.

LINSEY, AUTHORITIES SAY THE

SUSPECT MAY HAVE BEEN AT A

INCIDENT.

POLICE SAY THEY'VE CLOSED THAT

ESTABLISHMENT AND ARE WORKING ON

EXECUTING A SEARCH WARRANT.

THEY ADD, THE SUSPECT WILL

LIKELY FACE ADDITIONAL CHARGES.

LINSEY.

THAT FAMILY.

IKE, THANK YOU.

POLICE SAY THE SIX-YEAR VETERAN

WAS SHOT MULTIPLE TIMES JUST

BEFORE 3:00 A.M.

FIRST RESPONDERS RUSHING HIM TO

THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE WAS

PRONOUNCED DEAD.

>> THESE ARE SENSELESS,

SENSELESS CRIMES THAT ARE TAKING

THE LIVES OF OUR COMMUNITY

MEMBERS.

>> Reporter: OFFICERS SALUTING

HUESCA AS A PROCESSION TOOK HIS

BODY TO THE MEDICAL EXAMINER'S

OFFICE.

AS OF LAST FRIDAY, THERE HAVE

BEEN 645 SHOOTING VICTIMS

INCLUDING FATAL AND NONFATAL

INCIDENTS IN THE CITY SO FAR

THIS YEAR, ROUGHLY THE SAME

NUMBER AS DURING THE SAME PERIOD

LAST YEAR, AND, LINSEY, WITH

NOBODY ARRESTED YET, THE MAYOR

SAYS HE IS PUTTING EVERY

AVAILABLE RESOURCE INTO THIS

INVESTIGATION.

LINSEY.

>> Linsey: ZOHREEN, THANK YOU.

>>> THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CASE IN

DECADES ON HOMELESSNESS GOES

BEFORE THE NINE JUSTICES OF THE

SUPREME COURT TOMORROW.

AT ISSUE, WHETHER CITIES AND

TOWNS CAN FINE OR ARREST PEOPLE

FOR SLEEPING OUTSIDE WHEN SPACE

SLEEPING OUTSIDE, EVEN IF THEY

HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO.

THIS DECISION WILL BE FELT ALL

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, BUT IN

PARTICULAR RIGHT HERE IN

CALIFORNIA WHERE OFFICIALS ARE

BATTLING HOMELESS ENCAMPMENTS.

50% OF THE UNSHELTERED

POPULATION IN THE NATION IS

RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE, AND DUE

TO THE LACK OF AFFORDABLE

HOUSING AND THE UNAFFORDABLE

COST OF LIVING, GOVERNOR GAVIN

NEWSOM SAYS THAT GOVERNMENTS

NEED FLEXIBILITY WHEN IT COMES

TO THREATS TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND

SAFETY.

LINSEY.
