Breaking Trump News [9AM] 3/25/2024 | 🅼🆂🅽🅱🅲 Latest Trump March 25, 2024

any moment Donald Trump is expected to

arrive at a New York City Courthouse he

faces quite a day he does one case that

could land him behind bars the other

that puts his fortune his properties and

honestly maybe his pride at risk Trump

will appear in front of a judge for a

hearing in his criminal hush money case

this involves adult film star Stormy

Daniels and his former fixer Michael

Cohen the judge today could set a trial

date we do expect Trump to speak before

he go goes into court now this is a

location he has been known to rant but

that's not even the most pressing issue

today for Trump the deadline has arrived

today for the former president to pay

the

$464 million bond in his New York civil

fraud case if he is unable to do that

New York's AG is set to go after his

bank accounts and business properties

CNN's Caitlyn Collins is outside the

court in New York City for us uh Caitlyn

what are you expecting today how is it

going to play

out I mean that is a great question

Sarah could really be anything that we

are witnessing today as these two crises

are facing Trump and confronting him

both here happening in the same city but

is is at this Courthouse here behind us

where we are seated here in New York

where Trump could soon find out when

exactly he could be the first former

president to go on criminal trial but as

we are waiting to figure out what is

happening with that case of course Trump

is facing something that is consuming

him much more and that is this bond that

he has been unable to have a giant any

kind of insurance giant underwrite it

his attorneys have not said in the last

several days whether or not he has been

able to find any solution to that and we

know today is when that 30-day grace

period lapses which means that the

Attorney General could move here to

enforce that soon and you can see that

this is what Trump is much more

concerned about when you just look at

his own social media on Truth social

posting just in the last half hour about

this saying that he could be forced to

sell his quote babies obviously a

reference there to his assets that could

be on the line is he is now trying to

figure out how to handle this solution

but right now his legal team and the

former president himself are preparing

to enter this Courthouse behind us we

have CNN's Paula Reed and christien

Holmes here with me as we are often

always so out here in front of the the

courthouse and Paula obviously we'll

talk about what's happening with the

bond but what's happening behind us is

remarkable in and of itself because

today supp to be the first day that

Trump is going on trial and instead now

his team is trying to get it dismissed

at least we know there is going to be a

delay until April 15th what is going to

happen inside that court house today so

this morning Trump's lawyers instead of

beginning the first criminal trial

against former president Trump they're

going to argue for why this should be

postponed even further they want 90 days

or dismissed outright because just a few

weeks ago the federal government so the

justice department handed over a 100,000

documents new pieces of evidence now

this is a state case and this new

evidence came from the justice

department related to its investigation

and prosecution of Michael Cohen who is

at the heart of this hush money case

where they alleg Trump paid hush money

to stormo Daniels ahead of the 2016

election to help his chances they say in

that race and then they charged him with

falsifying business records to cover up

why he was paying Michael Cohen back so

Cohen is a key part of this and Trump's

lawyers argue look we need 90 days to go

through all of this we believe that some

of this is exculpatory or helpful to our

client the district attorney though says

no actually only a small portion of this

is relevant and if it helps anyone it

helps us so we think it's a long shot

bid for them to dismiss this case but

what we are looking for today is if they

set a new trial date and if so is it 30

60 or even 90 days out and if it's

delayed I mean that's the question but

they are ultimately seeking to have a

dismiss but does Trump's legal team

really think that that that could be

what they walk out of this Courthouse

today with I have not heard that I mean

when I'm talking to the legal team I

think that again we know that they'll

throw anything at the wall and that's

what they should do right they are

exhausting every Avenue that's what

Donald Trump pays them to do is to try

and delay each of these cases to go down

every single pathway that they can and

there's a lot of stuff even when you

talk about the immunity case in the

Supreme Court that they don't believe is

actually going to be successful but one

of the things they are hoping for here

is more and more delays particularly

budding this up against that November

election when they're talking about

heading into November they already feel

like this case of the multiple criminal

trials or cases that he is facing is the

most easy for them to paint as political

so particularly the closer they get to

the election that for them is a win can

we talk about what's actually in these

documents because I know all of it

relates back as it seems to always with

this case is to Michael Cohen and

Michael Cohen himself has said you know

these are his text his phone calls all

of these documents that they were unable

to get their hands on before I mean and

clearly the pr ution here realizes that

that were there was a bit of a mistake

with that because they agreed to at

least a 30-day delay in this so they

could sort through it do we know if it

actually would be anything that's

exculpatory for Donald Trump well again

there there's fingers being pointed both

ways right for why there is a delay and

for who will actually benefit here it's

our understanding that most of these

documents are related to the search

warrants uh that were uh executed in the

Cohen investigation so these are things

going back years about his investigation

for campaign Finance violations and tax

violations it's unclear who this would

exactly help in this case the biggest

question right now though is why the

justice department took so long to hand

this over we know the Trump team

subpoena this information in January the

Trump team has suggested that somehow

the district attorney the state level

prosecutors have delayed them receiving

this evidence but the district attorney

points to them and says no you

intentionally delayed this you waited

till January to subpoena this as part of

your delay delay delay strategy so right

now there's a lot of confusion about

exactly what is in these documents who

will help and why it took so long I've

talking to I talked to former Justice

Department officials folks who have

worked in the southern district of New

York and and they agree this is very

unusual and it has already had the

effect of delaying what was expected to

be the first and possibly the only

criminal case to go before the election

and we know we're going to see Donald

Trump he's expected to leave Trump Tower

shortly we're preparing for for him to

arrive here obviously this is a

courthouse he's become intimately

familiar with but it's clear Kristen

that what's bothering him much more is

what's happening with this bond that is

only growing by

$100,000 a day with the interest his

team so far has not said that they have

found someone you know magically to to

be able to help that after saying that

they had approached 30 different places

and not been able to find anything what

have you heard from people about what

what they expect to happen today yeah

almost entirely radio silence in terms

of whether or not he's going to be able

to post that Bond and how he would get

that money or get those assets now

obviously you've heard from Donald Trump

I mean this goes to the core of who he

is this essentially for him is an

embarrassment because you're talking

about seizing assets you're talking

about not having the money to the point

where he's posting online actually I do

have the cash but it's really hard I was

going to put towards my campaign and

then you have lawyers being like no no

no he he doesn't actually have the cash

we should not he he hasn't spent money

on his own campaign since 2016 exactly

and and there's been no indication also

from his campaign since early on that he

was going to spend any of his own money

in fact at one point I was told that he

offered very early on when there was

very very little money to give a little

bit and they told him not to because

they didn't want to go down that pathway

so no indication at all that he was

going to give this kind of cash to his

own campaign but again him claiming he

has it because here we are talking about

the fact that Donald Trump does not have

the assets he needs does not have the

money to post the bond and that to him

it hits him at his core because he wants

to be portrayed as a successful wealthy

businessman well and I think what

everyone wants to know is is what the

Attorney General is going to do today

because today she can bank accounts she

could start seizing assets but it it's

much more complicated than that it's not

as simple as just going up to Trump

Tower with the sheriff and then she has

the deed because how Trump has

structured his ownership it's something

that would take a a complicated process

to actually unwind that what's our sense

of what the AG is going to do so there's

legal and then there's political legally

we know she is laying the groundwork to

possibly seize assets in Westchester

County outside Manhattan she has filed

certain P certain pieces of paper that

would allow her to go after ask that's

there but like you said it's a process

and seizing property is much more

complicated than trying to seize cash

assets within Banks but this is a legal

Avenue she can pursue it's a process

like you said we don't expect it to

happen today but there's also the Optics

there's the political I mean there's an

argument to be made that if you start

seizing some of Trump's buildings

particularly the more iconic ones that

politically that could help him because

the idea of seizing personal property in

a case that they have tried so hard to

paint as politically motivated that's

something that that could really not sit

well potentially uh with certain groups

of Voters so she has a lot of options if

he can't post this Bond cash is easier

to get uh with the proper paperwork than

it is to seize property but she's

clearly laying the groundwork and it

appears that she's eyeing his properties

in Westchester County if she has to go

that way yeah and even if it's

politically beneficial it's still

something that is clearly uh struck a

nerve to say the least with the former

president Kristen and Paulo we will be

here all morning John of course talking

about this and waiting to see when the

former president himself self arrives

here one thing to note John he has filed

an appeal and is trying to an appeals

court to either wave that he has to put

up that entire Bond we have not heard

from them yet John they typically only

rule on Tuesdays and Thursdays yeah it

isn't clear when or if or how they would

rule today but nothing on the schedule

it's also not exactly clear when or how

or where the Attorney General of New

York latia James would actually start to

begin seizing assets or even money so

we're watching that very closely too as

the day continues Caitlyn we'll come

back to you in just a second in the

meantime there is the breaking news we

got word that the CEO of Boeing Dave

Calhoun says he is going to step down by

the end of the year in a letter to

employees Calhoun called the Alaska

Airlines door plug incident a quote

watershed moment for Boeing he said he

intends to leave by the end of the year

so too will the company's chairman and

the head of the commercial Aviation unit

let's get right to CN it's Pete montine

who's got all the latest here Pete what

if you he learned well the irony here is

that Dave Calhoun came into Power after

the max 8 incidents of 2018 and 2019

that killed 346 people abroad now he is

leaving as a result of another incident

on the max line the January 5th Alaska

Airlines door plug blowout the NTSB

found in its preliminary report that

Boeing forgot to reinsert the four

critical bolts at the Renton Washington

Factory something that Calhoun self

described as equality escape the irony

here is very significant also the

surprise that Calhoun is not leaving

immediately and did not leave any

earlier after he made this personal plea

on Capitol Hill to the top Senators

overseeing Aviation that Boeing

airplanes are safe and that he's made

pleas to Airline CEOs that have

apparently lost faith in Calhoun leading

to his departure at the end of 201 24

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby says it

is in question about whether or not the

airline will fall through follow through

with its orders of the max 10 plane also

there's been a lot of questions from

Alaska Airlines CEO Ben minucci they

want $150 million in repayments from

Boeing and damages following the door

plug blowout they had to cancel a few

hundred flights each day as a result of

those issues there's also some big

questions here about whether or not this

should have happened a lot earlier

there's been so much criticism of the

workers on the factory floor and they

did a safety standown and minded by

Boeing to make sure that every part is

in place also leaving with Calhoun our

Stan deal the head of commercial

commercial airplanes division for Boeing

also Larry Kelner the board chair at

Boeing the only other person to leave

Boeing ahead of this was a relative

no-name to people uh at home uh the man

who led the max program uh this is

really significant here John the fact

that Calhoun is out now is really

underscoring the fact the trouble that

Boeing is in yeah it really shows you

how seriously they are taking it though

there are still questions about how

he'll manage to stick around for the

remaining weeks and months that he says

he will Pete montine thanks so much for

this information Sarah all right former

president Donald Trump we are seeing now

leaving Trump Tower heading to face off

in two cases one which could be the very

first criminal trial he faces if there

are no more delay

and the other that big bond hearing

where he has to pay $464 million or else

the AG may start trying to seize his

assets also the former president lashing

out on Truth social this morning more of

our special coverage of head as you see

Donald Trump heading to that Court we

may hear from him even in the next few

minutes we showed you Donald Trump

leaving Trump Tower and we expect to see

him arrive any moment at a New York

courthouse for a hearing in the hush

money case against him also today he is

supposed to secure 600 400 excuse me

$464 million uh for the bond in the

Civil fraud judgment case that is now

pending against him yeah he's got until

today to come up with that money or else

although isn't exactly clear what or

else is right now with us now former

Manhattan prosecutor Jeremy San and

former Federal prosecutor Jennifer

Rogers and I do want to be transparent

here one of things we're watching for is

to see if Donald Trump talks at the

courthouse where he is right now in a

hearing in the criminal case why because

I suppose it's possible he announces you

know what we're not coming up with a

bond conclusively today we don't have
