news >> israel, i'm jessica dean in new york and tonight the hamas-run ministry of health saying the number of palestinians killed in gaza since the start of the war has now northern gaza or the idf claims hamas is trying to rebuild more than 300,000 civilians have now fled rafah since monday. that's according to the un, which has called it a quote inhumane displacement a palestinians about them on model, there is no safe place it's the same story, seven or eight times we move. there's no place safe whenever we go there is bombardment. there was bombardment at the indonesian hospital and the doctors and medics were forced out i had to leave like everyone else i don't know what to say. is this life. death is more honorable than this humiliation
4:02 pm
cnn senior white house reporter kevin lip tack, is traveling with president biden and joins us now from delaware, kevin, how is the white house responding as we see israel's military ramp up operations there in rafah, which at this point seem to be undetermined. >> for by the president's warning earlier this week yeah, very much so. >> and you continue to hear american officials warned strongly against a ground offensive in rafah really channeling president biden's view that american weapons cannot be used to support an operation that in their view, would be ill advised and vision very, very bloody. we heard those concerns raised again today in a phone call between the us national security adviser, jake sullivan, and his counterpart in israel and jessica, i think this was a significant phone call. it's the first time we've seen an announced conversation between the white house and the government of israel since president biden then delivered that ultimatum on cnn, that he would pause shipments of certain weapons to israel if
4:03 pm
this offensive into rafah goes ahead in that call, sullivan discussed alternatives to a ground invasion and very interestingly, the white house said that his counterpart, the israeli national security adviser, said that though who's concerns were being taken into account, but at the end of today, the issues that president biden has with the ground invasion into rafah are not new he has been raising them for months with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, really going back to february when he first raised them in a phone call that has not deterred netanyahu from moving ahead. his view is that in order to completely eliminate hamas they need to go into rafah. that is completely at odds with what we have heard from american officials today including the american secretary of state, antony blinken, who said that a ground offensive into rafah could lead to a hamas insurgency listen to a little bit more of what he said and they will be left holding the bag on an enduring
4:04 pm
insurgency because a lot of armed hamas will be left. >> no matter what they do in rafah or if they, if they leave and get out of gaza as we believe, they need to do then you're going to have a vacuum and a vacuum that's likely to be filled by chaos let's by anarchy, and ultimately by hamas. again, we need to see that too. we have the same objective as israel. we want to make sure that hamas cannot govern gaza again, we want to make sure it's demilitarized. we want to make sure that israel gets its leaders. that's what we're determined. we have a different way and we think a more effective durable way of getting that done will remain in conversation with israel about exactly that now, blinken also said today that the us believes israel has killed more civilians than members of hamas during this current campaign. >> he also said the us has not seen a plan from israel about governance and security and gaza, once this war ends taken all together, these are some of the harshest words that we've heard from the biden
4:05 pm
administration directed towards israel since the start of this conflict it really does go to show that this relationship and this war itself are reaching an inflection point. jessica kevin lip tack for us traveling with the president and rehoboth beach, delaware. thanks so much. >> let's talk more with this. was cnn political and global affairs analyst barak ravid. he's a politics and foreign policy reporter at axes brock always great to have you on. thanks for making time on this sunday evening. we appreciate it first. i just want to get your take and if you can context two allies for us, what we're seeing, and what it means as we see these israeli forces pushing deeper into rafah today good evening, jessica. >> so first i think we have to know these rarely military is still not in rough it is in the rafah crossing, which is on the east so eastern outskirts of rafah, started evacuating the eastern neighborhoods of rafah, but the israeli military still
4:06 pm
did not go into the city. and i think there's a good reason for it and the reason is at least for now, president, president biden's ultimatum and these rallies, as far far as i understand are going to give another few days for completing the evacuation of the eastern neighborhoods before they take a decision on whether to go in. and i wouldn't be surprised at all. we saw it in the statement the white house put out on the conversation between national security adviser jake sullivan sunday's israeli counterpart. they spoke about the possibility of holding an in-person meeting between israel and the biden administration about the rafah operation. a meeting that was supposed to take place two months ago and netanyahu canceled it. and since then they will only virtual meetings. so i think that if you see that they're talking about holding such an impact person meeting, it means that maybe nobody is going to go into rafah at least in the next few days is such important context that you give there. i was interviewing, i'm broke the knesset last night and asking
4:07 pm
him what he thought about biden's decision specifically withhold the bombs. and of course, he said he was disappointed that they had to push ahead. but that's what people will say publicly. barack, should we read in mourn what is happening? what, what kind of meetings like what you're talking about is happening and the fact that they haven't gone in two rafah proper just yet, is that what we should be paying more attention to? >> i think that we just heard what secretary blinken said earlier today. what he said is the exact same thing that netanyahu from his idf chief of staff major general herzi halevi. it's the exact same thing you use from his minister of defense because you have garland is the exact thing. years from two members of his war cabinet former idf chiefs of staff, benny gantz and gadi eisenkot they all tell him one thing. you want to go into rafah let's have a discussion
4:08 pm
about what's the strategic goal? what do we want to do after we take refer? how do we want to see the situation over there? and this is what the us from his own cabinet. this is what here, some his own security services. and this is what he hears from the biden administration. and i'll give you another anecdote today the idf went into jabalya neighborhood in northern gaza. it was the third time the idf went there every time the idf went in, it went out, hamas came back why didn't come back? >> because the israeli government has refused until now to even have a discussion about whether there is an alternative, a governmental alternative that you can put in to those areas of gaza where hamas was defeated and because you don't do that every time you take the military out, hamas comes back in why is netanyahu so reticent to have that conversation? do you think? >> because there are only two
4:09 pm
kinds of forces that can govern gaza. it's either hamas or the remanence of the palestinian authority. and a ton you said publicly climbed high up on the tree and said the palestinian authority or anybody who's affiliated with the panel authorities will not govern. gaza, will not allow it. his radical right-wing coalition partners, ultra-nationalist ministers, itamar ben-gvir in battell. small church has basically put an automated that. if you put the pa back into gaza, we're leaving the coalition. so it's all about domestic politics and oh, minister of defense garland, other members of the cabinet, the security services, all tell him, look, the alternative to hamas is for tides, the palestinian authority, if we don't want that will either going to have chaos or we're going to have hamas back. and this is exactly what we see in gaza right now and so to that end, you're talking about the domestic political situation. >> there were showing video right now of thousands of
4:10 pm
israelis taking to the streets of tel aviv yesterday demanding netanyahu do more to secure the release of the hostages. some of them calling on him to step down. >> can you speak to the amount of pressure that he is under there and israel from his don't people plural, in israel, it's memorial day is well commemorates the it's fallen soldiers since 1948 until today. and the day later is israel's independence day. and this year netanyahu is not going to appear in any of the independence de ceremony. this is highly unusual and the reason he is not appearing in those ceremony is because he's afraid that is going to be protest against him by people who attend and those ceremonies. and this comes to show you the kind of pressure he is in. if for a prime
4:11 pm
minister in israel independence de, is the best way politically is basically on tv all day. and if netanyahu decide, decided he doesn't want to be in those ceremonies it tells you something about his political situation baraka vdd, always great to have you. >> thanks so much thank you still ahead. it has come down to the fixer against the former president, how michael cohen's testimony conceal donald trump's fate as a felon or could his credibility problems sink the state's case? you're in the cnn newsroom storing the debate over transgender athletes, i believed they needed to sacrifice being trans in order to swim. we can't neglect fairness and hopes to be inclusive. >> the whole story with anderson cooper tonight on zn. >> i spent a lot of time thinking about dirt at three in the morning and he trying what people don't know. is that not

4:16 pm
below, right now how it really happen tonight at nine on cnn the stage is set for a dramatic courtroom showdown on monday as former attorney michael cohen takes the stand to testify against the man he wants setting. take a bullet for his former boss, donald trump cohen is expected to connect trump to the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels to keep an allegedly damaging story via before the 2016 election, joining us now seen initial security reporter, zachary cohen, zak, michael cohen is gonna be the final big witness in the prosecution's case what will the prosecution tried to show the jury tomorrow and maybe over the next couple of days with his testimony you just go michael cole will be the only witness to testify both about donald trump's alleged involvement involvement in the decision to pay stormy daniels and trump's alleged involvement in the decision and the plan to reimburse michael
4:17 pm
cohen. >> now those are both critical to the prosecution's ultimate goal of proving that donald trump falsified those 34 business records. he's accused of doing so really underpinned the criminal charges in this case. and the jury's already heard a lot about michael cohen and prosecutors made it very clear in their opening statements that he's a complicated and potentially problematic witness of sorts, and they've spent the last several weeks trying to prepare the jury for that reality. now, michael cohen is going to have to face a tense inefficient cross-examination from donald trump's lead attorney, todd blanche, though, when he takes the stand and those questions, we'll try to hit at michael cohen's credibility. they'll try to dig into michael cohen's passed. he is a convicted liar and i'm sure that will be highlighted, but they're also going to todd blanche will also try to suggest to the jury that donald trump really has no idea what deal michael cohen struck with stormy daniels nor what went into or how it was recorded. ultimately, after the fact. and that really will be the big question is whether or not the jury believes michael cohen and in the case, that the prosecution is presented so
4:18 pm
far, or if there's enough holes poked and michael cohen's credibility to where there's reasonable doubt enough not to convict donald trump all right. >> is that cohen landed allow for us. thanks so much for that reporting and i want to bring in our panel on this joining me, a cnn legal analyst, norm eisen, or investigated trump as counsel to house judiciary committee in the first impeachment trial of donald trump. and also litigated cases involving him previously, he's also the editor of the book trying trump a guide to his complete guide, sorry to the manhattan da's prosecution. we're also joined by former federal prosecutor, at least adamson. i want to say thanks to both of you for being here. >> norm. let's start first with you. prosecutors have wanted have waited to call cohen until the end of the trial help us understand that strategy. and do you think it's a good one i do think it's a good strategy. >> jessica. and the reason is they want the jury to understand that everything michael cohen is saying on the stand is supported or
4:19 pm
corroborated by other evidence so for example, cohen will testify that donald trump was part of that payment to stormy daniels to benefit his campaign, setting up the underlying crime alleged good. of campaign finance and election law violations that you need to make this document falls of felony. well, we have the trial opened by david pecker, who does divide he was in a meeting with cohen donald trump at trump tower where they agreed to do these kinds of deals in order to benefit the campaign so as you go through step-by-step, they've built up a mountain of supporting and corroborating evidence so that instead of the jury taking a leap of faith, it's a small hop with michael cohen a small harb as it were, elise, what do you expect to see from the
4:20 pm
prosecutors and also the defense when it comes to cohen yeah. >> jessica, i think with respect to the prosecutor's kind of his norm, just alluded to. there are going to elicit testimony for cohen to explore blaine, what the former president's intent was during this time, during these meetings the prosecution needs to prove that he knew what was going on and that he made these decisions, as norm said, in furtherance of benefiting his, his 2016 election and michael cohen is going to provide that testimony. i think you might also see the prosecution trying to front more bad facts and have michael collin take control of his narrative and describe why some of his accounts have been inconsistent throughout the years and maybe even why he lied so then ties into what the defense strategy is likely to be. the defense
4:21 pm
has to cross michael cohen aggressively. they have to attack his credibility. they're going to hammer, expect to see them hammer in on those inconsistencies really remind the jury that michael cohen has been convicted of lying, paint him as a serial liar, somebody that's out for revenge. he literally wrote a book called revenge. they're gonna be aggressive because michael cohen is the linchpin to the prosecution here. and if he is found credible, the jury believes him. well, then the government has pretty much met their burden norm it's interesting because the prosecution has not been telegraphing, didn't give the courtesy list to the defense of who what order they would be calling the witnesses when they will be calling them they did that. they said because they were afraid that the former president would intimidate some of these witnesses, talk about them, even though he's under a gag order. but we do know michael cohen is coming on monday because he's kinda the last big one. so what does that
4:22 pm
mean in terms of the defence using the weekend to prepare, they've had time now to really zero in on this and focus as they get closer. >> the defense has been preparing for mr. cohen for many, many months. >> it's useful to know that he'll be there on monday. >> the question is will the defense be able to rattle him? just go when i did the first trump impeachment, one of the very first witnesses i talked to was michael cohen because he knows where all the bodies are buried. we investigated this identical payment. and i was very surprised by the smart, funny, warm, but also very tough and clearly not very fond of donald trump person who i met in my repeated conversations with them. they will certainly come after him.
4:23 pm
but i think cohen may vary well exceed expectations that people have. but i was there for the stormy daniel's cross and boy, they're going to come hammer and tongs and we'll see how mr. cohen response at least when it comes to this gag order, the judge has repeatedly asked trump to stop violating it and threatened jail time. the judge also told prosecutors to tell michael cohen to stop talking about trump's in this case publicly. it is the judge seems to know these two people really don't like each other. >> it's only going to inflame this whole situation if any, if michael cohen's out there posting pictures like he was but earlier last week, what do you think of this whole situation it's interesting because michael cohen is rather unpredictable while he has been very well prepped for this trial, we have seen in the past
4:24 pm
that he does antagonize the former president. >> and now we see the former president has been using his surrogates and i'm careful when i say using because of course, if he is actually directing his surrogates to violate the gag order than he is in violation. but we've seen his surrogates attending the trial commenting on the trial on his behalf i think we can definitely we expect to see trump allies going after mr. cohen. i think that's gonna be skirting a very dangerous line because whether or not they're doing it on their own, or whether they're not they're doing it at the direction of mr. trump is going to be a question. it could also potentially be a district fraction because the judge is indicated he is ready to put the former president in jail if he violates the gag order. so i think most folks are hoping that although the temperature is gonna be rising, that perhaps the gag order will ultimately be respected in this
4:25 pm
regard, and they can just conclude the trial without distraction and norm before we go, i do want to switch gears for a second and ask you about the trial of new jersey senator bob menendez, which is set to start this week. jury selection starts tomorrow. what are you expecting out of that? it's the second time he's now facing down the feds the senator and his very capable defense lawyer, abbe lowell did a houdini act in the first prosecution for alleged corruption will they be able to escape again, the proof is even more overwhelming here on these allegations about contacts related relating to egypt and qatar, evidence found in menendez and his wife's home, gold bars, cash, even a mercedes. >> there's dna and fingerprint
4:26 pm
evidence on some of that cash. so no matter how tough the senator and mr. hello, lara, boy, this is going to be a hard one to escape from jessica, right? and again, jury selection that starts tomorrow. norm eisen and elise adamson appreciate both of you thank you. >> and stay with cnn for special trial coverage starting tomorrow morning. >> so ahead tonight as rfk jr. qualifies for the ballot for ballot access in battleground states. i trauma official calls rfk a problem, not a threat. >> cnn senior data reporter harry into and will join us to run the number for his on how rfk is doing in his run for the white house. >> there's hairy. we'll be right back here in the cnn newsroom he was trump's former lawyer and fixer. >> now, michael cohen is expected to testify against his old boss, will be here. any new bombshells from this key player witness? good morning in the

4:32 pm
on the political scene now for what, eight years, eight, nine years, and i still have to take my head back. sometimes i go, whoa, that's a different politician. anyway, luck. a look, let's, let's take a look what rfk is doing nationally. he's pulling in a supply substantial chunk of the vote. he is averaging 13% and poles and keep in mind why that's important, the threshold to debate is 15%. so if he's averaging 13% in the polls, that were previously used last time around that, the media entities to determine debate eligibility, it is quite possible. we talk about rfk. we talked about the worms in his brain we kind of sometimes think of him as a sideshow. but there's a reason why donald trump is going after him and it's because he's polling higher than any independent or third-party candidate. this point, since ross perot in 1,990 60s polling higher than ralph nader wasn't 2000 at any point. he's pulling higher than gary johnson some was at any point in the 2016 campaign, this guy, although he may not
4:33 pm
win, is a real threat to take a substantial portion of the vote and that is part of the reason why you see donald trump saying what he's saying right? and in the swing states where the margins in the last two elections, presidential elections have been so time hi, one exactly. i don't have to tell you the data guy that, but so very small when you have someone pulling that high or pulling that sort of support, that's a real thing. >> it's absolutely a real thing. you speak about those swing states, right? you talk about wisconsin decided by what, 0.63 percentage points last time around you talk about georgia, 0.24 percentage points. you talk about arizona, 0.31 percentage points. if you're a polling let's say 13% on average you are pulling a very substantial chunk of the vote. and of course the question is jessica, who is rfk pulling more support from earlier on democrats stole it would be from joe biden. and now obviously, republicans like
4:34 pm
donald trump believed that they're pulling more from it him and you see on the screen right now why donald trump is so concerned. so this is a quantifier university, poll that was taken in the middle of last month, in which you see here is while joe biden is polling some of those rfk jr. supporters he's their second choice. the plurality clearly say that donald trump is their second choice. and this i think is reflective of joe biden's campaign earlier on in the campaign, basically trying to sour democrats on rfk jr. and now you're seeing donald trump do the same. and so i think the real question is jessica, we have seen throughout the years third party and independent candidates fade going down the stretch. i mentioned gary johnson earlier on in this segment. i think the question is, will we see that same fate for rfk jr. this time around? that's still a question history says yes, but when of course you consider that both joe biden and donald trump are is disliked as they are both
4:35 pm
with negative net favorable ratings. i have to say it's a real question, one of which i don't have the answer to at this particular point. yeah. we're just going to wait and see okay. lastly, today is mother's day. what's the data? what do you give? what do you get to? what do you give mom? it's seven 30 on the east coast, so time running out. >> time is running out. that's why i have both easy advice and tough advice. test to me, it's like a fascinating gender divide, right? we talk about a gender divide in politics. how about a gender divide on when it comes to the best mother's day gift, men they say the best mother's day gift is flowers, but i think the women might be honest something right? the mother's might be honest something they say, forget the physical gifts. yeah, those are nice, but just pick up the phone, pick up the phone or dare i say visit mom. this is not a hard thing to do. mom just wants to know that she's loved. that's what the polling tells us. that's why i called my mother earlier today. okay. you can go fancy on the gift, but the fact is just acknowledged. mom tell mom that i love you and mom, i do love
4:36 pm
you. i call it earlier, but now i'm wishing it to you. national television as well. >> mom and ten happy mother's day, having brothers eight of my mom and all the moms out there, they deserve a full day of celebration and hearing so much. i hate it. >> still ahead. the biden administration prepares to significantly raised tariffs on china as russian president vladimir putin hints at a meeting with chinese leader xi jinping what this all means about rising tensions between the world's superpowers didn't seem nothing like it was ever documented i thought this is all controlled better rallies came. >> miki to shoot me dan made progress with his mental health, but his medication caused unintentional movements in his face, hands, and feet called tardive dyskinesia or tdi. >> so his doctor prescribed us,
