[00:00:00] Ashley, we don't know, we don't know, um, but yeah, you're going
[00:00:03] to be watching the trial, what in particular? Just, uh, I want to
[00:00:07] see whether or not it comes out that there were other people, other co-conspirators
[00:00:10] there. Right? Because one of the things that we did back then was go down the rabbit
[00:00:14] hole of 'who killed Tupac?' Any connection
[00:00:17] to Bad Boy? Is there anything
[00:00:44] Breaking overnight: an elaborate ruse and secret flight to protect
[00:00:47] President Trump. New details in the cloak and dagger operation, which involved hiding the
[00:00:51] president in a catering
[00:00:53] press, we have to inform the world what truck because of a threat from Iran. The death
[00:00:56] toll rises from a devastating 7.4 magnitude
[00:01:00] earthquake this morning. New images coming in as rescuers
[00:01:04] dig through the rubble searching for survivors. And
[00:01:07] that didn't take long: a rocket explodes just after
[00:01:11] takeoff this morning. Trying to determine what went
[00:01:14] wrong. Kate is out today. I'm John Berman with
[00:01:18] Sarah Sidner on time this
[00:01:19] the table. The problem morning. This is CNN News
[00:01:21] Central.
[00:01:31] A secret flight, catering truck, and nation kept in the dark. This
[00:01:35] morning, an elaborate ploy to protect President Trump's life has
[00:01:39] been revealed. CNN has confirmed a fascinating story first reported by
[00:01:42] the Washington Post. And it's a story that the White House
[00:01:46] has not denied, that the president left the NATO summit in Turkey
[00:01:50] last month aboard a secret plane after an assassination threat from
[00:01:53] Iran. This is the president seen boarding Air Force
[00:01:57] One at 8:24 p.m. local time on July 8th. What few
[00:02:01] people knew at the time, according to a U.S. official, is that minutes
[00:02:05] later, the president and several of his aides were covertly
[00:02:08] shuttled onto an airport catering
[00:02:11] truck, highlighted just there. At 8:30 p.m. the
[00:02:15] truck took the president to a smaller plane, an Air Force C32A,
[00:02:19] which effectively made Air Force One a decoy, with reporters
[00:02:23] and some White House staffers still on
[00:02:25] board. Hours later, the president was seen exiting Air Force One when it touched
[00:02:30] down in the U.K. So far not clear how he was able to get back on
[00:02:33] board. Then he got onto a third plane to fly home, the new
[00:02:37] Air Force One gifted by the Qataris, and said this to
[00:02:40] reporters, probably a dangerous slate
[00:02:44] because of these leaf bags that we have to deal with. I think that Iran
[00:02:48] was possibly think, well I mean, if they ask you to close your windows, probably they
[00:02:52] feel. Were you aware of any credible threat by Iran against you? I have a
[00:02:56] threat all the time. I'm number one on their list before you.
[00:03:00] But if I go, you go.
[00:03:03] Okay, CNN's Kevin Liptak is live this morning at the White House. Um, Kevin,
[00:03:07] what are you hearing from the White House about this, and the reporting on
[00:03:11] this really, um, intricate dance they were
[00:03:14] doing to try to make sure the president was safe.
[00:03:18] Yeah, an extraordinarily, uh,
[00:03:20] high level of subterfuge on the part of the White House, that I think really
[00:03:24] does reflect, uh, the very real concerns about an
[00:03:27] imminent threat from Iran. And
[00:03:30] now, uh, the White House and the president's aides and national
[00:03:34] security apparatus all seemed to have devised this very, very
[00:03:38] quickly on the ground there in Turkey. Throughout that entire
[00:03:41] summit President Trump seemed almost preoccupied with these Iranian
[00:03:45] threats on his life. He mentioned them over and over
[00:03:48] again. And that h— threat only seemed heightened because the
[00:03:52] president the night before had ordered new strikes on Iran. But it
[00:03:56] is really only now in retrospect that we're
[00:03:59] starting to sort of, see signs that something might have been a
[00:04:02] foot. For example, when reporters got on that old
[00:04:06] legacy Air Force One, they were all asked to lower their
[00:04:09] window shades, which would have prevented them from seeing the
[00:04:13] president in that catering truck move to the other plane. We
[00:04:17] also noticed that once the legacy Air Force One, uh,
[00:04:20] landed in the U.K. uh, the doors weren't
[00:04:23] opened for an unusually long a period
[00:04:26] of time, which would have allowed time for the president to get back
[00:04:30] on the plane only to get off in full view of the
[00:04:33] cameras. Now at the time, the president claimed that this switch
[00:04:37] was all because he wanted to show off the new, a Qatar
[00:04:40] donated plane to troops in the U.K. The president said he was making the
[00:04:44] switch for quote, "old times sake." But that of course, uh, that
[00:04:47] explanation never really uh held up. And we know that
[00:04:51] these threats from Iran had contributed to this whole
[00:04:55] switch in planes. Now we know that in fact those concerns
[00:04:58] had led to this, this entire affirmative deception
[00:05:02] plan. Now, what a White House spokesman Steven Cheung said
[00:05:06] was that, as the president has said recently,
[00:05:09] there are many enemies of America who have their sights
[00:05:12] on him and we use every tool at our disposal to address those
[00:05:16] threats. But it is rare for presidents to use decoys
[00:05:20] like this, uh, without the press or without the public knowing. You
[00:05:24] know, in the hours after the 9/11 attacks, George W.
[00:05:27] Bush kept a slimmed down press pool on Air Force One as he flew to
[00:05:31] a military base and then back to Washington. There is one
[00:05:35] example, one known example of a president doing something
[00:05:39] like what President Trump did, and that was back in 2000, when President
[00:05:43] Clinton flew on an unmarked plane in
[00:05:46] Pakistan. But that was known almost immediately
[00:05:49] after he stepped off of that, uh,
[00:05:53] unmarked plane. The difference now is that the
[00:05:56] president, uh, the White House didn't disclose this
[00:06:00] until now. It essentially left the press and staff on that
[00:06:04] plane as sort of unwitting decoys for
[00:06:06] Iran. I think that will be disconcerting
[00:06:09] for any regular passengers of Air Force One, although I think
[00:06:13] if you fly in that plane often, you recognize that the
[00:06:16] security priority is the president and not necessarily anyone
[00:06:20] else. Sarah. Kevin Liptak, it cannot be, um,
[00:06:24] missed that this was also a story surrounding this where the
[00:06:27] president's, uh, administration went after reporters for their
[00:06:30] reporting on, uh, on the Qatari plane not being up to snuff when
[00:06:34] it comes to security. There's so much going on here, um, but fascinating details
[00:06:38] that you are now learning. Thank you so much for your reporting from the White House this morning.
[00:06:42] John, I'll just add another way of saying decoy is target, which is all the
[00:06:46] people left on that plane. And it does also show the continued concern over
[00:06:50] the reach that Iran still apparently has, at least
[00:06:54] those of the fears of the administration. Today, in the
[00:06:56] meantime, new test for the Democratic Party's left-wing candidates in
[00:07:00] Wisconsin. Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong, and the more moderate David
[00:07:03] Crowley, face off in a primary for governor. In Minnesota, Congresswoman Angie
[00:07:06] Craig and progressive Peggy Flanagan are hoping to replace retiring Democratic
[00:07:10] Senator Tina Smith. There are six states with
[00:07:14] primary situations. I have to say there are different kinds of stories in all of them. With us now, Jackie
[00:07:18] Kusinich, Washington Bureau Chief for the Boston Globe. As I said, there's actually
[00:07:22] a lot going on here. Darlin' Graham running in South Carolina, an incumbent who could
[00:07:25] lose in Connecticut. But I do think there is so much focus on
[00:07:29] Wisconsin, because you have a democratic socialist
[00:07:32] candidate who is fringy enough she didn't even win the
[00:07:36] endorsement of Bernie Sanders or Alexander Rossi or
[00:07:38] Cortez. And you can see Democrats nervous that she could win
[00:07:42] tonight.
[00:07:45] Absolutely. I mean, that contest in general, John, has been kind of
[00:07:49] wild. You had a campaign finance, uh, scandal that
[00:07:53] made one candidate drop out. You had, uh, David Crowley
[00:07:56] had initially suspended his campaign, got back in after the
[00:08:00] other candidate dropped out. And then of course, as you mentioned, you have Francesca
[00:08:04] Hang, who had, who the Democratic Socialist, who
[00:08:07] I think surprised a lot of people by her
[00:08:10] popularity in this race and democracy.
[00:08:12] Are ringing their hands because Wisconsin is such an important state, it's such
[00:08:16] a powerful state that she is emerging as the frontrunner
[00:08:20] here. Tony Evers, the outgoing governor, has endorsed
[00:08:24] David, uh, David Crowley. And, uh,
[00:08:27] but this one could go down to the
[00:08:29] wire. And I will say up until this point, democratic
[00:08:33] socialists and people on the left wing, including Abdullah Zayat, who is, does
[00:08:37] not say he's a socialist, they've been getting a lot of attention, but it's sort of been fought to
[00:08:41] draw between the established and progressives. Now, it could be that
[00:08:44] progressives make a late surge in these final contests here, which I think a lot of people are
[00:08:48] watching. Jackie. Yeah, you're
[00:08:52] absolutely right, John. Uh, and you mentioned also Minnesota, where
[00:08:56] you have, uh, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan and Congresswoman Angie
[00:09:00] Craig. This race has had more to do with Ice and
[00:09:03] Craig's vote on the Lake and Riley Act in the
[00:09:07] House. She now said she regrets it. But, uh, Peggy
[00:09:10] Flanagan, who is the more progressive candidate, has really, um,
[00:09:14] hit her hard on that particular issue, um,
[00:09:17] because of all of the Ice activity, um, in
[00:09:21] in, uh, Minnesota over the past year now. And, and
[00:09:25] then let's go, let's go a little closer to New England, because you know that that's where
[00:09:28] I, that's where, um, my head is most of the time.
[00:09:32] Um, uh, John Larson, long time member of the House,
[00:09:35] member of, uh, has been a member of leadership in the past,
[00:09:39] facing a very strong challenge from
[00:09:42] Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin. And this, this
[00:09:45] one, it, it might, it's looking like it's, it's this
[00:09:48] generational change argument. And it's, it, it
[00:09:52] is looking like Larson could be in trouble. And you would
[00:09:55] imagine if, in fact, Larson does lose, there are some
[00:09:58] other candidates in New England might rhyme with Bolton that
[00:10:02] might, uh, choose to use this, um, in their own
[00:10:05] races that are coming down the line. I'm glad you brought up Connecticut
[00:10:08] because if you hadn't, I would. John Larson, the incumbent there facing a real challenge
[00:10:12] tonight. And as you say, today is not the last day of
[00:10:16] primaries. Massachusetts, someone inexplicably actually holds their
[00:10:19] primary in September. And there are competitive races there
[00:10:23] where incumbents could be in danger. That's another trend in addition to the
[00:10:27] rise of the progressive worth watching throughout the summer. And we could get more direction on where that's headed
[00:10:39] after a devastating earthquake in Colombia,
[00:10:42] the largest it's had in more than
[00:10:45] a decade. Luigi Manjioni back in court for the
[00:10:48] final time before jury selection. The key questions that could be addressed
[00:10:52] today. And this morning, the medical community.
[00:11:13] we have to inform the world about a coup, CNN, sir, please, we are international
[00:11:18] is happening, I am at the door of the congress, unfortunately they will not let
[00:11:22] us in, we are trying, but I can go live from here at any
[00:11:26] moment, a question miss, who gave the order not
[00:11:28] to enter.
[00:11:35] One, two, three, let's go, let's go live, please.
[00:11:50] Let's go.
[00:15:41] All right, this morning, the race to find survivors buried in the rubble after a
[00:15:45] 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit Western Colombia.
[00:15:58] My goodness. Officials say at least
[00:16:01] 132 people have been killed. That number is almost
[00:16:05] certain to rise. Hundreds more have been injured. Dozens of buildings
[00:16:08] collapsed like the one you just saw. Hospitals damaged, seven
[00:16:12] airports shut down. Some of the images we are getting back again,
[00:16:15] just devastating. Officials are urging people to evacuate
[00:16:19] any building that may show signs of structural damage, and there
[00:16:23] are many. CNN's Stefano Posobon tracking this for us. Stefano, bring
[00:16:26] us up to speed
[00:16:27] here.
[00:16:32] Well, what we're seeing now, John, is that Colombia is waking up to these scenes
[00:16:35] of devastation. And of course, you can imagine that the search and rescue
[00:16:39] operations continue throughout the night as the first
[00:16:42] responders are working, uh, around the
[00:16:45] clock to try to locate as many people as possible.
[00:16:49] Even though the epicenter of the earthquake was in the
[00:16:52] Western Pacific coast, which is sparsely populated,
[00:16:56] much of the damage is concentrated in the cities
[00:16:59] of Pereira and Manizales, which is where some of the
[00:17:03] airports that you have talked about have been shut down. And in the
[00:17:07] city of Cali. Cali, in particular, is the third largest
[00:17:10] city of Colombia. And earlier today, the mayor of
[00:17:13] Cali updated the death toll, saying that at least
[00:17:16] 85 people have been killed by the earthquake in that
[00:17:20] city alone. So that's why we believe that the number of the national
[00:17:23] death toll is, seems only destined to rise. I think,
[00:17:27] John, that at least 40 buildings have been flattened to the
[00:17:31] ground in the city of Cali alone. One of them was the home
[00:17:34] of a survivor, Saul Paz. He invited
[00:18:07] national disaster, uh, declaration. This will allow, of course,
[00:18:11] for better funding, uh, to come through and to move troops as
[00:18:15] they try to bring some shelter and relief to the people
[00:18:19] affected. But right now, of course, it's a race against time
[00:18:22] to try to locate as many survivors as
[00:18:26] possible. For the newly elected government of Abelardo del
[00:18:29] Espriella, the new president of Colombia, who was sworn in just on Friday
[00:18:33] and on Monday morning was meant to be his first day on the job. 7:30
[00:18:37] a.m., the earthquake hit. John, and people need to be
[00:18:41] braced for more tough news
[00:18:49] president's new executive order on vaccines. In the moment he admitted he had no
[00:18:53] evidence for at least one of the claims that he made. And
[00:18:57] ticketed for driving too tall, a truck too tall for the
[00:19:00] roadway. How do you know it was too tall? Because it crashed into the
[00:19:04] overpass.
[00:19:56] I have been practicing journalism for 20 years in Mexico
[00:20:00] City, in the United States and now in Miami for
[00:20:03] CNN. CNN America is a
[00:20:07] multiplatform program where you will have information from all
[00:20:11] areas that will allow you to understand the world from the angle you are
[00:20:15] looking at it. In those three hours you will not only have
[00:20:19] information from a political and economic perspective,
[00:20:22] but also health from a women's perspective, but
[00:20:26] above all it is a space where we can have conversations
[00:20:29] not to polarize, but to integrate
[00:20:32] society.
[00:20:35] What excites me most is to inform. To inquire,
[00:20:38] to investigate the why of things, to get to the bottom of the
[00:20:42] facts, here you will see what makes news and everything that
[00:20:45] impacts your day to
[00:20:46] day.
[00:20:50] Friday on
[00:23:25] For it happening today, Luigi Mangioni will be back in a Manhattan
[00:23:28] courtroom for what could be his final public appearance before
[00:23:32] jury selection begins in his high profile murder trial. Now Mangioni
[00:23:36] is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December of
[00:23:39] 2024. If convicted in the state murder case, he
[00:23:43] faces the possibility of life in prison. Today's hearing is
[00:23:47] a pre-trial conference as both sides prepare
[00:23:50] for a jury selection next month. Joining
[00:23:54] me now, CNN legal analyst and criminal defense attorney Joey
[00:23:58] Jackson. Um, let's start with this: what are we expecting to hear
[00:24:01] today? Um, both the prosecutors and defense
[00:24:05] always have something to argue over as they try to set the
[00:24:09] parameters for the trial. Yeah, they really do, especially in a case of this
[00:24:12] magnitude. Good morning, Sarah. So generally, a pre-trial
[00:24:16] conference, and there are multiple, but this is it, right? You're going to
[00:24:20] really set the stage for what is to become the trial in September.
[00:24:23] Set it how? I think there'll be discussions to be clear about,
[00:24:27] you understand the rulings, you understand the evidence that's admissible, the evidence that's
[00:24:31] not admissible. Are we good with logistics in terms of scheduling,
[00:24:35] etc.? Have you both turned over everything of evidentiary
[00:24:39] value to each other? I want no surprises here. We don't in
[00:24:42] this country do trial by sandbagging. Right?
[00:24:46] Everyone has what everyone has. Defense has their certain constitutional
[00:24:50] an interesting issue though that has
[00:24:53] arisen with respect to the defense wanting this really to be
[00:24:57] live streamed. Their view, the defense is that their client is
[00:25:00] entitled to a public trial, and they're arguing that it's high
[00:25:04] time that this be televised and that everybody get an opportunity
[00:25:08] to peek in and look about what's happening. And it's really interesting,
[00:25:11] sir, because New York is very restricted. Right? It's
[00:25:15] it's amazingly so. I think there's Louisiana and D.C. that are
[00:25:18] just as restrictive as New York. Other than that, come one and
[00:25:22] come all with regard to the other states to broadcast and see what's
[00:25:25] going on that as well. You have to petition the
[00:25:28] judges to see if you can get cameras
[00:25:31] in the in the court or, um, be able to sort
[00:25:34] of live text and stream. Um, it
[00:25:38] will be interesting. Has the court given any indication of exactly what it
[00:25:42] is going to do when it comes to whether the public will be able to watch this trial from
[00:25:46] gavel to gavel? So I think it's coming, and I think we might get more
[00:25:49] indications now, right in terms, because of the arguments
[00:25:53] today. But New York has to change its law before the judge would
[00:25:56] have, you know, discretion, pure discretion to allow it,
[00:26:00] because literally it's been 75 years, enough already. And there's been
[00:26:03] legislation that's introduced. But the general standard is if there's a
[00:26:07] subpoenaed witness, it can't be, it's unlawful. Right? That
[00:26:10] to publicly televise in that regard for the subpoenaed witnesses. So it's a little
[00:26:14] glitch. And I think that if ever there was a time to revisit this,
[00:26:18] to examine this, and to change it, let the public see what's going on,
[00:26:21] particularly in a case like this. Inquiring minds want to know
[00:26:25] what the evidence is, is it compelling, is it not? Did he do it? What's happening
[00:26:29] here? Yeah, there's, there was so much interest in this. I mean, it was, it
[00:26:32] was weeks and weeks of, of, coverage, um, because the public was quite
[00:26:36] interested. I want to ask you about the defense dropping its plan, um, to use this
[00:26:39] extreme emotional disturbance defense, um, after the judge said that
[00:26:42] Mangioni's psychiatric records would have to be
[00:26:46] turned over, uh, to the court, to the prosecution.
[00:26:50] What do you know about that? Yeah, so I think, sir, that that was a very
[00:26:53] good move in terms of the defense withdrawing it. Why
[00:26:57] right? Now, clearly we see on video, it seems to be
[00:27:01] that he's the guy. There seems to be a lot of evidence and information,
[00:27:04] DNA, etc. They're tracking his movements. I think we'll see
[00:27:08] surveillance. They know where he came from, they know what he did, they know how he plotted and
[00:27:11] planned. And so the defense has to be, you know, understanding of
[00:27:15] what exactly are we going to be fighting against. So they put this
[00:27:19] extreme emotional disturbance on
[00:27:22] is that it's not a recognized defense in
[00:27:25] federal court. So you could have instance where, for example, you say,
[00:27:29] hey, I did it, it's extreme disturbance. Guess what happens in
[00:27:33] January. He goes to across the street to federal court, it's not recognized. You
[00:27:36] said you're guilty, you're going away for life. So they had, they were boxed
[00:27:40] in, and that was the basis for the defense saying extreme emotional
[00:27:43] disturbance based on mental
[00:27:54] Thanks. All right, ahead, an unusual conversation. Former Fox News host Tucker
[00:27:57] Carlson sits down with Hunter Biden for an in-depth
[00:28:01] talk. Also, gas,
[00:28:37] Small changes make a big difference.
[00:30:42] Welcome to our front page broadcast with Alejandra Forero.
