12:02 pm
and at times explicit details from stormy daniels, the adult film actress who received the hush money payments at the center of this case. today daniels testified about a sexual encounter she says happened after she met trump at a golf tournament in 2006. this photo was taken on the day they met. trump denies the affair ever happened. >> after the first part of stormy daniels' testimony, the trump legal team then asked the judge to declare a mistrial saying her testimony was, quote, inflaming the jury. judge juan merchan denied that motion. >> leading us off, nbc news correspondent rehema ellis outside the courthouse in lower manhattan. also with us, nbc news legal analyst danny so -- so vallow. . >> reporter: in terms of stormy daniels taking the stand and testifying, that she did have sex but it was the details and the spiceness of her testimony
12:03 pm
to what the defense objected to and called for a mistrial and the judge said i don't think this is at the point where we need a mistrial. your remedy is on cross-examination. and this was all before the jury was brought back into the courtroom after lunch. so they got through some of that business and they talked about how this deal almost fell through because michael cohen was getting the $130,000 to her at the time that she wanted it. it speaks to what some other jurors have testified -- some other witness, i'm sorry, have testified that michael cohen was frantic, if you will. agitated state and thought the money wasn't coming through in a timely fashion and almost scuttled 9 deal. she was ready to cancel it until finally the money did come through and they signed this agreement and this was just days before the 2016 election. zinhle. >> rehema, stand by there and danny, let me ask you about the move by trump's team to ask for a mistrial. the judge denied it already. but explain why that happened?
12:04 pm
>> i totally agree with the defense's thrust which is that stormy daniels gave testimony that they say is different from what she testified before. the people disagree with that but the idea being all this stuff was so scandalous, so bad for trump, it's okay if it's bad but, for example, suggesting that this may have been a nonconsensual sexual encounter, maybe even potentially intimidating sexual encounter, that's the kind of thing that fatally prejudices trump and that's why they're asking for a mistrial. judge merchan denied it for the same reason that i was wondering during this testimony, i and other legal analysts, why aren't they objecting? i think trump's team made -- wasn't clear from the google doc but may have said we raised this objection elsewhere. it's not clear, i can't tell, but the bottom line is should have been on their feet objecting. >> danny, briefly, clearly the defense thinks stormy daniels' testimony will be consequential. what impact go they want her to
12:05 pm
have on the jury. >> the defense thinks her testimony will be bad -- prejudicial against donald trump. if you're asking about the people, the prosecution, they believe stormy daniels gives context that in terms of the power of the evidence, it's not that high. really it's about whether or not her story had value when she sold it but let's be honest, the real reason the prosecution calls a witness like stormy daniels is she's flashy and offers other testimony that makes the defendant look bad, nothing wrong with that. that's what prosecutors do. they're very good at eight. >> danny cevallos and rehema ellis, thanks so much. appreciate it. delegations from israel and hamas have arrived in cairo to resume talks towards a cease-fire agreement. >> yesterday you may remember israel rejected a proposal that had been agreed to by hamas saying that the deal was, quote, far from its requirements. the new round of talks now comes as overnight israeli tanks pushed into the southern gaza city of rafah taking control of its border with egypt. nbc news international correspondent raf sanchez joins
12:06 pm
us now live from tel aviv. let's start with rafah. the tanks rolled in a day after they ordered civilians to evacuate. what can you tell us about the operation now, and what else is israel planning? do we know? >> reporter: zinhle, israel says this was a limited operation with tactical military goals including seizing the palestinian side of the rafah crossing but then also this is designed to put pressure on hamas in the cease-fire negotiations saying this is not the beginning of the large-scale ground offensive against rafah that prime minister benjamin netanyahu and other israeli officials have been threatening for months now. at least 23 people killed in that israeli attack according to the health ministry in gaza. we don't know how many are palestinian civilian, how many of them are militants but really crucially the rafah crossing is now shut following that fighting
12:07 pm
and that is, guys, of course, the key lifeline for humanitarian aid crossing from egypt into gaza. the kerem shalom crossing which is just to the east of rafah is also closed. that shut on sunday after hamas fired rockets killing four israeli soldiers in the area. when president biden spoke to prime minister netanyahu on monday, he got a commitment from him that the kerem shalom crossing would re-open. the state department is saying that will happen in the next 24 hours or so, but if it doesn't, the u.n. is warning that we could be plunged straight back into crisis in terms of humanitarian aid. guys. >> raf, it seems just yesterday that there might be a cease-fire deal when hamas had agreed to terms notably not israel's terms, israel rejected the deal but still sent a delegation to cairo today. so where do those stand right now? >> reporter: so, those negotiations are happening right now as you said, zinhle, both israeli and hamas delegations in cairo, cia director bill burns
12:08 pm
is there alongside egyptian and qatari mediators and they have looked at both proposals and believes the gaps are not unbridgeable and it hopes that a final deal can come out of these talks in cairo. i'll give you an example of one of the differences. hamas committed to releasing 33 hostages in the first phase of the deal, but hamas says that some of those hostages will be living people and others will be dead bodies, the israelis are saying that is a nonstarter and this is a negotiation for living hostages. guys. >> all right, raf sanchez, thanks so much. we're also following breaking news involving tiktok. the social media company is suing the united states over that new law that could ban the app. >> president biden signed a law about two weeks ago. it gives tiktok's parent company based in china 9 to 12 months to sell the app or face a potential ban. savannah sellers has been
12:09 pm
reporting on this for weeks. first off what exactly is tiktok saying in this lawsuit and had we heard from the justice department or the biden administration? >> yes, 65 pages here and as you laid out this was sort of expected this would end up being this challenge. what they're saying is that actually the exact language is banning tiktok is so obviously unconstitutional, that is on page 1 of what they filed today saying it's a violation of their first amendment rights and also pointing to the fact that a sale of tiktok they say this again quoting directly from this is not commercially, technologically or legally feasible and say the government was setting this up to be a ban which they are saying is unconstitutional. now, for the government part we're not hearing anything today. the justice department declined to comment on this tiktok lawsuit as of today but this is -- it got to this stage because of what we were hearing from congress, men and women, what they were hearing from national security officials concerning the safety of american users' data on the app. >> is the argument they can't sell because they're too big?
12:10 pm
they're not ever going to find a buyer. >> that's a good question. that's one of them of the first of all, there isn't a price tag and hasn't said it is for sale and nobody could afford it anyway. the other thing, the actual algorithm, that makes tiktok tiktok. that's why they like it and say it's different from an app like instagram or using reels on instagram owned by meta is the algorithm and that is actually specifically on china's -- has to be approved. are you going to buy it without the algorithm. china would not let it leave and be sold to another country therefore tiktok isn't tiktok anymore. >> so briefly what does this mean for tiktok users left in loim bow, legal limbo? >> nothing as of now or delays you would see any type of change as they go through the legal process if and when it gets settled it would even either side appeals this and goes to
12:11 pm
the supreme court and potentially years long legal showdown which would delay any type of ban in the country. >> we know you'll stay on it. >> thanks. time now for today's cnbc money minute, the boy scouts are changing their name. >> and snoop dogg is getting his own bowl game. pippa stevens joins us now. >> the boy scouts are changing their name in its 114-year history. the organization announced today it will become scouting america in an effort to be more inclusive. it comes as the organization tries to emerge from bankruptcy after compensating more than 80,000 victims of sexual abuse. meantime, disney is planning to add titles as they launch a streaming service. bob iger said u.s. subscribers will be able to watch live games and studio programming. the move comes after hulu launched on disney+ in march for

12:16 pm

12:17 pm
to a question about campus protests across the country. he said, campuses are being taken over by supporters of terrorism and jewish students are being intimidated. zinhle. >> yeah, dana, this highlights what is happening is not just bleeding into students but faculty members speaking up or getting involved in different capacities. have we heard anything from this faculty member specifically or the school, arizona state? >> reporter: yeah, so we reached out to and he has not responded to our request but arizona state university released a statement they say asu is aware of the allegations against jonathan yudelman and dr. yudelman is on leave pending the results of the investigation. >> thanks so much. there is an urgent diplomatic situation in russia after an american soldier was detained by russian authorities last week. the army says staff sergeant gordon black was based in south

korea but traveled to russia on his way back. they're accuing him of stealing from a woman. courtney kube has been tracking this. the army says this soldier went into russia on his own, right? do we know why and what charges he's faceing? >> reporter: we do and learned about his background of the he's been in the u.s. army, staff sergeant gordon black has been in the army since 2008. he served on several deployments including iraq and afghanistan during that time and was deployed to korea but actually had finished his tour there and was heading back to the united states when he made this stop in eastern russia in vladivostok an know according to a number of officials here at the pentagon that he was going there to visit a woman he was involved in a romantic relationship with. now, we learned from russian authorities today that he was hill on some criminal charges. he is being accused of stealing, stealing some money from a woman. it's not clear if it's the same
12:19 pm
woman he was involved with or not, kate, but that is what officials here believe to be the case. now, he's being held in pretrial confinement until at this point early july, so nearly two months before we may see him. the big question is, will russian -- the russian authorities allow the u.s. some sort of consular access to him? at this point we're told they have not gotten consular access but are still actively seeking it. >> you think about the context, the history here where russia has taken brittney griner, the basketball player but a number of americans have been held. does this story have any parallels? >> reporter: that's the huge concern, the state department warns americans not to travel to russia, because of the concern they could be wrongly detained as you mentioned. brittney griner you mentioned and two others paul whelan and evan gershkovich so the state department and officials at the pentagon are concerned despite no matter whether he actually carried out these alleged

12:24 pm
san francisco, where a two person oversight team now has veto power over spending in that district. tom. that team, appointed by the california state department of education, now has that veto power over sf, usd spending and will make a full presentation to the board at their meeting tonight at 630. the team determined that the district is in distressed financial condition and could run out of money in the 2024 2025 fiscal year. san francisco public school enrollment has dropped by about 10,000 students over the past decade, and the district has lost tens of millions of dollars in annual state and federal education funding. it's forced the state to call for a corrective plan to be put in place by the end of next month, and for that oversight team to take control of the spending for the time being. in the meantime, the school district is trying to identify schools for closure, to help save money and to vote on the selecting selected campuses for closure could happen this december. we talked to one local

it can hide much but it can erase nothing. >> monica alba jeans me now. monica, president biden's speech is coming at such a difficult time for jeesh people around the world. what was his message? >> he put it in terms of the decades since the holocaust and people are still denying the atrocities there and then said 7 1/2 months after the hamas terrorist attack on israel on october 7th the same kind of pattern is repeating so he really wanted to be sure to deliver a message to jewish people in the u.s. and around the world that he understands their fear, their hurt, their pain and he acknowledges it and that he also reiterated his position that there really simply is no room for anti-semitism or violent or hateful rhetoric like we've seen some examples of in recent college campus protests so the president did directly connect that issue to his larger speech which was a part of a holocaust
12:34 pm

12:37 pm
to testing of black people in general. how are the makers of this study keeping that in mind, that historical context as they move forward. >> they're keenly aware of that context and the need to win over the respect of the participants so going about that in a couple of ways, one, the research team itself and scientific advisory board consists mostly of women of color and huge emphasis on privacy, so, for instance, if a woman does develop cancer during the course of the study she's not necessarily obligated to turn over her medical records and the researchers have to ask permission to reach out to her doctor. they're also kept anonymous from the public even though they're known to the researchers themselves. >> aria, if women are thinking about participating in this study, first of all, i think we showed a map you have to live in certain states. >> 20 states. >> we can show that again but should they talk to their primary care doctor before enrolling? >> yeah, if they'd like to, yes, it's up to whether they're comfortable themselves.
