president trump's legal battles. the woman at the center of his criminal trial in new york took the stand today and gave graphic testimony about their alleged sexual encounter in 2006. but we begin tonight with the judge in the former president's trial over alleged misuse of classified documents postponing the start of that trial indefinitely. correspondent david spunt has details tonight live from the justice department. good evening, david. >> david: good evening, bret. this case was supposed to go to trial in fort pierce, florida on may 20th. that is no longer happening. that date has been pushed back and while there is not a new trial date set, judge aileen cannon has set some deadlines, many deadlines, at least a dozen going on late into the summer, pushing the trial back at least until the end of july. in an order, just late this afternoon, about an hour or so ago, judge cannon announced she is extending several key deadlines in this case that take it out as i said until the end of july. >> this is the case involving the classified documents found
3:02 pm
at mar-a-lago. special counsel jack smith hopes this and the other trial involving the former president here in washington, d.c. over alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results would go to trial before election day in november. the supreme court, bret is, currently weighing whether trump should be immune from federal prosecution in that election interference case in d.c. meaning that case has been on hold for several months, the justices are expected to decide by the end of june. the former president is hoping to avoid both trials before the november election. and he may get his wish. if judge cannon continues to extend deadlines in the florida trial and does not say date that could push things back post election. if the supreme court gives sort of a mixed ruling or a ruling favorable to donald trump, that could push things back here in washington, d.c. bottom line, another day, another delay means just we're getting that much closer to the election. bret? >> bret: david, we have had the story yesterday of these -- the documents and the handling of those documents by the fbi.
3:03 pm
and that the former president's lawyers had filed a motion on that very handling that could be part of all of this as well. >> yeah that could be part of it. there was questions from the trump legal team that we reported last night about the chain of custody of some of these documents. some of the documents taken from mar-a-lago by the fbi had some cover pages that didn't necessarily match what was actually in the documents. so if there is any kind of concern about the chain of custody, trump's legal team saying wait a minute, we want to make sure those documents were in the proper chain of custody the entire time which, in that case could push the judge to hold some witnesses and potentially bring in more people the woman at the centered of the activity for the alleged fraud for which former donald trump facing trial took the stand today. adult film actress stormy daniels testified in detail and

at times graphic language about their alleged sexual encounter 18 years ago. he denies it. the judge has rejected the defense request for a mistrial. correspondent nate foy is outside the state supreme court again in new york tonight with the latest, good evening, nate. >> good evening, bret. adult film aches at the stormy daniels did not hide her disdain for former president donald trump while testifying today. trump called the case a false ancient history after his lawyers asked for a mistrial because of prejudicial testimony from daniels. >> on the witness stand today, adult film aches at the stormy daniels explained in extreme detail meeting and allegedly having sex with former president donald trump in 2006. >> this was a very big day. a very revealing day as you see their case case is totally falling apart. they have nothing on books and records and even something that
3:05 pm
should bear very little relationship to the case. >> trump's lawyers moved for a mistrial. claiming the jury heard damaging testimony unrelated to charges trump faces. judge juan merchan told the court quote i agree it would have been better if some of these things had been left unsaid. i don't believe we are at a point where a mistrial is warranted. trump son's eric defenders dollars his father after attending court in person posting on x, quote, the 15 manhattan prosecutors are sitting at their table and behind in the courthouse pews giddy by this salacious show. this is the intent, not the merits, nor the facts that this entire case is a massive extortion play. daniels testified she met trump at a celebrity golf tournament. then saw him several times after their alleged affair, including at trump tower. at the time daniels thought trump could help her career. but today, during cross-examination, daniels acknowledged she hates trump and previously posted online she would dance down the street if he went to jail.
3:06 pm
trump's lawyers presented another post from daniels who wrote, quote: i will never give that orange turd a dime, referring to legal fees she owes trump for a separate defamation lawsuit. trump attorney susan necklace asked daniels, quote, you despise him and make funnel of him? daniels responded, quote, because he started it. daniels will again take the stabbed when court resumes thursday morning at 9:30. she will answer more questions from trump's attorneys and the prosecution has already signaled they have more questions for daniels as well. bret? >> bret: nate foy outside the courthouse. nate, thanks. president biden today said there is no place on campus or anywhere else for what he calls a ferocious surge of anti-semitism. the president told an audience at the holocaust remembrance event that his administration is working around the clock to try to free american hostages, captured during the hamas massacre in israel last october.
3:07 pm
this comes as there are continued concerns about israeli military activity in gaza in the administration and up on capitol hill. white house correspondent jacqui heinrich joins us now with the latest from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> good evening, bret. the white house is optimistic there's room for progress as cease-fire and hostage release talks continue. they are trying to find their stride in a two step messaging approach whether it comes to israel's security and anti-semitism on college campuses. >> people are already forgetting, already forgetting, that hamas unleashed this terror. >> in a holocaust remembrance ceremony, president biden forcefully speaking against anti-semitism, including on college campuses. and affirming the u.s. stands behind its ally. >> my commitment to the safety of the jewish people the security of israel, and a strike to jewish state is ironclad even when we disagree. >> but the administration is not confirming or denying reports it
3:08 pm
is slow-walking sales of precision bombs to israel to send a political message amid the heavy civilian toll in gaza. >> how can the u.s. have ironclad commitment on one hand and then on another hand slow-walk arm sales. >> so i'm not going to speak to the second part of your question. our commitment to israel's security is indeed ironclad. two things could be true in the sense of having those conversations, tough, direct conversations with our counterparts in israel. >> if the white house won't answer questions from the press, they may have to respond to congress. senators joni ernst and ted budd in a letter to the president yesterday asking which ammunition was withheld? why? if it was part of the national security supplemental congress passed last month after the president called it imperative and why congress wasn't informed. meantime, the white house is also walking a line between calling out anti-semitism on campuses and calling on police to act. >> when it comes to local entities, it is up to them to
3:09 pm
take whatever action that they deem is necessary. >> today officials would not say if the u.s. is okay with hamas' request that the first hostage releases include people dead or alive. families of hostages have expressed desire to bring their remains home. the last proposal offered by the u.s. and israel included three phases, women, the elderly, and the wounded in the first, then men, and then idf soldiers, bret. >> bret: jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn, jacqui, thank you. the president's education secretary was peppered with questions about anti-semitism on college campuses today. police action against anti-israel protesters on college campuses has spread to middle america as authorities clear a demonstrator encampment at the university of chicago. meanwhile, protesters are occupying a building at a rhode island college. and the mayor of washington, d.c. is rebuffing a request for assistance from the head of george washington university

[chanting. [ho ho, hey hey. >> smokd some palestinian protesters some of whom camped out. >> they waited like cowards until gone and snuck up on people to attack them. >> near boston, similar encampments as mit and harvard still stand. [shouting] >> even as the school threaten students who don't disperse. >> discipline the students rather than responding to numerous, good faith efforts to
3:11 pm
reach out and to speak and have a conversation. >> in the nation's capital, dozens of tents still cover central sections of george washington university and demonstrators say they have no plans to leave any time soon. >> we will be here until our demands are met. we have great community, rallying around us who are ready to uplift our demands. >> those demands include a meeting with gw's president but school leaders are not interested. in a statement, gw says the protests, quote: has been co-opted by individuals who are largely unaffiliated with our community and do not have our community's best interest in mind. the school wants gretchen carlson's mayor muriel bowz tore clear the area. so far she is refusing to step in. >> my constitutional responsibility is to make sure that people can safely protest. >> bowser will testify about the situation when she visits capitol hill wednesday. >> make no mistake, anti-semitism is discrimination. >> today education secretary miguel cardona told lawmakers is he aware jewish american students are worried for their safety and while cardona stopped
3:12 pm
short of condemning ongoing protests, he says there should be limits. >> if the university directs them to leave, they should leave. >> today protest organizers held a college class of their own, telling demonstrators what they should do if police were to come out here and make any sort of mass arrests. d.c. police, they are nearby but there is no indication, bret, at this hour that they plan to break up this gathering any time soon. instead, the crowds are just growing larger by the hour. bret? >> bret: mark meredith at g.w. mark, thanks. the house speaker and the republican lawmaker seeking to remove him from his office met for a second straight day behind closed doors. congressional correspondent aishah hasnie is on capitol hill tonight with the talks between speaker mike johnson and the three g.o.p. representatives who could attempt to push him out. good evening, aishah. >> aishah: bret, good evening to you. another day of lengthy talks but still no action or, in fact, even a timeline over this motion to vacate. this afternoon speaker johnson met with representatives
3:13 pm
marjorie taylor greene, thomas massie and paul gosar for nearly two hours discussing their list of demands. they want the speaker to implement something known as the hastert rule by only putting bills on the floor that have support from the majority of the majority. they also do not want any more ukraine funding. they want to defund special counsels like jack smith. and they are also demanding that johnson pass a government funding bill before election day that enacts a 1% spending cut across the board. now, greene originally said she was triggers that motion to vacate this week but hasn't softened her stance to now no deadline. >> we didn't give a specific timeline but it's pretty mortgaged. >> now, we caught up with the speaker today who says he is not negotiating any kind of a deal. he simply discussing ideas. >> look, we're talking through ideas and suggestions. what i do with all members all the time. nothing unusual about. >> ukraine.
3:14 pm
>> we are talking through a lot of ideas. >> aishah: johnson is framing these talks as normal member conversations. the attention he is giving these three is starting to frustrate others within the conference. >> >> i think the speaker is going to create a revolt if he caters to any one group and threatens with those type of actions. >> we wait to see what the speaker does next. so far no more meetings between these two sides for the rest of the week. bret? >> bret: interest rate optimism fueled mixed results on wall street today. the dow gaining 32. the s&p 500 was up 7. the nasdaq lost 17. up next, we look at the israeli military operation in gaza and whether it is the major offensive the world has been watching for. first, here's what some of our fox affiliates around this country are covering tonight. fox 23 in tulsa as one person is killed in a tornado in barn stall, oklahoma as severe weather moves through greene county officials say first responders worked to rescue

important step toward dismantling hamas. this comes amid yesterday's dismissal of a cease-fire deal negotiated by third parties and agreed to by hamas terrorists. correspondent jeff paul is in tel aviv tonight. >> it's a sight that hasn't been seen in nearly two decades. israeli tanks rolling into eastern rafah as ground forces take control of gaza's border crossing with egypt. the idf ordering what it called was a precise counter-terrorism operation hours after hamas agreed to a cease-fire deal that israel found was far from its demands. >> the hamas proposal yesterday was intended to torpedo the entry of our forces into rafah. it did not happen. >> israel says using both ground troops and airstrikes it destroyed hamas terror targets. the white house's john kirby said the israelis informed them the operation was limited, designed to cuts off hamas weapons smuggling. but the mission also closed another key entry point into gaza. trucks lined the roads on the

we have seen a ferocious surge of anti-semitism in america and around the world. vicious p propaganda on social media. we know hate never goes away it only hides. and given a little oxygen it comes out from under the rocks. we also know what stops hate, one thing. all of us. >> bret: president biden at a holocaust event today, giving a speech. tonight we're going to talk about that. we're also going to talk about other issues and hear from one of capitol hill's most outspoken
3:30 pm
voices pennsylvania democrat senator thanks for coming in. >> president gave a speech today. largely credited for being clear in his message. some of his critics said it was a little late what did you make of that speech. >> i thought it was a great speech and he has been very critical of israel. jo agree with him on everything, for example, i was public and i said i don't think we should be holding any kind of munitions and i said i think we need to send them immediately to, you know, of course, israel is in this kind of a war and we -- i have no conditions. i never have and i can't imagine i ever will. >> do you think the u.s. support for israel, he said today it was ironclad, but if they are slow-walking these arm sales, how can you say both things? >> yeah. well, like i said, i do think the president has stood with
3:31 pm
israel but, you know, i have disagreed on issues like that and like that for today, i was very popular today that i said look, we really need to send them. if anyone -- if there should be any kind of conditions, it should be on hamas. and it's ablers, and it's benefactors. >> do you support israel going into rafah? >> well, i follow israel on that. i mean, they would know the situation more than i do. and, i'm always trying to center this to people where it's like hamas could, they started this. they did this kind of terrible things. and this could end right now if they send all the hostages back home. and they could surrender, and all of the -- you know, they clearly don't care about all the palestinian death and chaos and damage. in fact, that's the way they designed that. israel actually cares about minimizing those civilian deaths. but hamas sees that as own kind of collateral damage.
3:32 pm
>> bret: you have been outspoken on college campuses protests. and what do you feel about them when you see them and does it make you upset? >> it's -- i don't know why they seem to -- i'm not even sure what they are really, you know, protesting about. if you ask them, they are not really sure they -- and now they are not talking about cease-fires anymore. and now they are talking about divesting and harming israel on that. it's crazy. they really just broke the mold yesterday when they were -- they had protesters at on or about wits yesterday. how much more tasteless and disgusting that could be? they showed up with and as i said, this, that it's actually working against peace in gaza. and hamas is convinced they have won the pr war and they keep seeing all these kind of protests across the nation on these campuses.
3:33 pm
and it's not helpful but it's actually works against peace, i think. >> does it bother you that some of the people funding as biggest doziers? >> i don't care who is funding it. it is just like -- jewish voice for peace. they pretend like civic grassroots kind of thing. it's not. they are paid. and i have said. this i don't care if you are a protester paid or not, you know, if you have got to protest anything, you should be protesting against hamas. and demanding that they take the cease-fire or they can just send all these hostages back home. and that's very clear. they have been showing up at my office in philadelphia back in, i think, october, and it's not grassroots. it's just paid kinds of agitation. >> bret: what is your thought about what should be done on
3:34 pm
these college campuses? should the police be called in? there have been incidents where, for example here in washington, d.c., where they called for help and they have turned it down? >> honestly, i was reading -- i can't call them my former colleague but senator sasse from nebraska, you know, he is florida. and i thought he was right on point on that. it's like, you know, we can have protesters. we can have a space to allow that you can't take over. you know, we are not going to listen to or respond to or let the fringe or the loudest kinds of voices to respond on that. and it's like you can't have damage. you can't spit on cops. you can't be allowed to stop, you know, things from happening. and i thought that's exactly how it should be what you have manifested on campuses is not
3:35 pm
that. >> bret: here is actor filmmaker michael moore. listen. >> you have the right to take over the administration building. i will tell you just speaking for flint. we would have no uaw, no auto workers union if back in the 30s the auto workers, including my uncle, had not taken over the factories, yes, you have to take over buildings. that is not violence. >> bret: what do you make of that? >> yeah, no. it's really you can't compare what's going on right now. because there is really not -- you know, they use things around colonizing and things like that, it's just -- it doesn't make any sense. and, israel represents the kind of values that, you know, in america and it's like we should be able to defend the israeli way of life. and we can't ever forget. they are the ones that started. this and they are the ones that broke that cease-fire and they did the most terrible things to babies, children, women. tortured, mutilating systemic
3:36 pm
rape. and i don't understand why it's undeniable. anti-semitism is often at the center of a lot of those protesting and the speech that now is out there. and now, meta or facebook is now -- well, is river to the sea, you know, well, of course, that's calling for the destruction of israel. and of course that's hate speech. and it shouldn't be platformed by anything. >> this is one of the outspoken things you talk about. you have also pushed back on your party on immigration. you have also pushed back on a number of different issues on the progressive side. philadelphia magazine says is this the john fetterman pennsylvania elected? the one time oddity, however unexpectedly finds himself smack in the middle of america's mainstream. the best analogy of fetterman is underground band from the 1980s that somehow finds itself scoring hit singles and grammy dog as decade later not because the band change but because the culture did. what is it? did you change in office or has the party changed? >> no.
3:37 pm
i have always been that way. i mean, my wife was a former dreamer. immigration, i think is, a super power of our nation. i think it's help make our nation very special. but i don't know why it was controversial that we have to have a secured border and then when you start to examine some of the numbers that are showing up at the border, 270, 300,000 people, and i would put that in the -- for perspective, for pennsylvania, that's the size of pittsburgh, a month. and it's like how can you take care of them? how can you give them an american dream when that and we need to get ahold of that and and that's why i said after the deal came through, that i have wanted to get -- i want to have that conversation. and i want to, you know, sign on more things as well. and, you know, in my primary, title 42 wasn't controversial. all those kinds of a things wasn't controversial. you know, those are the kinds of things to be addressed situation. and you can be very
3:38 pm
pro-pro-immigration but also you need a secure border and we need to respond to the circumstances. >> do you think have you evolved? you said in december. i'm not a progressive. then prior to that, you know, in the election, you touted progressive bona fides, and you said progressive movement is here in pennsylvania. and you have, you know, proud to be here with bernie sanders, i'm a progressive democrat. the progressives might not say that they see more as a joe manchin figure; is that fair? >> that was back in 2016. and i have been saying it for years that label left me in that -- i don't recognize that at all. and i'm not a mansion kind of figure. i'm just a regular democrat that i want to be honest and i don't understand. i haven't really thought anything that i have said is really controversial. standing and leaning in with critical ally in israel. and being very pro-immigration
3:39 pm
but also realizing that we have to have a secured border. and protesting and free speech is a very valid american right. but not the way it's manifested itself its way on the campus. >> are you comfortable with all these republicans praising you, including dave mccormick in pennsylvania? >> we all have to get along. i mean, everyone that spent time in d.c. we have to work together and there is some things we can agree. there is some things that we can't. if we can work together, then i do and i'm always happy to lean on that. >> so, in pennsylvania, your state, if you look at our latest battleground polls in the economy former president trump is really up big on president biden, when it comes to the economy alone. who do you trust on the economy. why is that? how do you see that? and how do you see the election playing out in november. >> welling, i don't really follow the polls.
3:40 pm
but, you know, i have been having that kind of a conversation now since 2016. you know, i identified that there is a risk here that trump can actually win and most people thought it was going to be a joke and i'm like no, no. i spent too much time across the state and i realize that something is happening. and then i had that conversation in 2020 that, you know, some of those polls had biden up at 5 points. i'm like, you know, you can't have 25,000 people show up at an event and that's not a five point race. '24 is going to be competitive and close. always has been and always will be. and i do believe joe biden is going to win anyone who takes trump seriously do that at their own peril and he has a connection in pennsylvania and we have to make sure that we do whatever we can. >> bret: you see this trial out in new york today. he is saying it's all falling apart. if you look at polls and i know
3:41 pm
you don't look at polls, there are a lot of people look at that trial and say it may not be fair to him. how do you see it and how do you see the former president positioned for the election? >> well, i mean, like i'm a sitting senator, and i am truthly not even exactly sure what his trials are about. how many of them, whatever. i mean, i think it's -- you know, most voters in pennsylvania agrees it's a very stark choice as well. and so if i'm not following it that closely, i don't think a lot of the voters there and they are going to, you know, in six months from now they are going to have the chance to vote. i do believe joe biden is going to prevail in pennsylvania. i do believe that pennsylvania does pick the president. but it's going to be very close. and it's going to be incredibly competitive. i'm not really sure that most of people's perceptions of trump already picked into the stock price. >> last question, pennsylvania,
3:42 pm
liquid natural gas, fracking. it's a big deal. you sent out a statement that if this pause on lng is a problem, you may try to? i didn't agree with the president on his choice on lng. and, of course, fracking is important. i'm very much very pro-energy security i do the not believe it's going to be a defining issue in pennsylvania. like i said in 2020. it's going to come down to that very, very stark choice here trump or biden what you want, what you want the next four years to be like. and when people show up to vote, going to be more of a gut situation. fracking or whatever. >> senator fetterman, we appreciate the time. thanks for come in live. we would love to have you back. >> great to be here. thank you.
3:43 pm
>> up next the panel on president biden's remarks on anti-semitism, later the trial if talk about manhattan when "special report" continues.

death and destruction. >> there are some who would prefer to criticize israel and lecture them on their military tactics. >> my commitment to the safety of the jewish people the security of israel and its threat to independent jewish state is ironclad, even when we disagree. there is no place on any campus in america in place for anti-semitism and hate speech or anti-semitism of any kind. >> bret: president biden today at that holocaust event up on capitol hill. let's bring in our panel chief correspondent for "the washington examiner." josh homies, co-host of the ruthless podcast. former chief of staff to senator mitch mcconnell and olivia beavers congressional reporter for politico. josh, listening to senator fehrman there. obviously outspoken is and shouldn't be any slow-walking of any ammunition or military to israel. >> no question about it. it's nice to see, honestly, i wish there was more of that that we heard out of the democratic
3:49 pm
party lately. but is he absolutely right. and there is an impossible gap between ironclad promise and then what we seen about slow-walking the aid or conditioning upon rafah or anything else as it deals with hamas. so, this is a real conundrum for democrats, honestly. i think there is an awful lot of constituency within the party that would like to see continued support of israel but there is also this presidential election where they see a base constituency in this more pro-palestinian younger group of voters that have had a real problem with that rock and a hard place. these campus protests olivia have really jarred it seems the party in a number of different ways. here is the education secretary getting grilled up on capitol hill. >> to ensuring that no student -- students prevented other students from going to class or broken laws receives any form of student loan
3:50 pm
forgiveness. >> we are committed to making sure that campuses are safe. >> we would like to you follow through on those who do break the law and make sure they don't receive student loan forgiveness. >> bret: that's a big issue for a lot of people. i mean, cardona testifying. he was trying to thread this sort of difficult dance the democrats have had, especially the administration, young voters were a huge part of their coalition in winning back the race against trump in 2020, and going back to 2016 feels like we are having so many repeats and here car kona is trying to basically say we more money to address anti-semitism on college campuses. and he wasn't really able to give them some answers how they plan to address it in terms of taking actions against the students who are perpetrating that. >> bret: yet, five blocks from the white house, byron, gw, they call for the cops. >> the cops won't come.
3:51 pm
the bigger problem here the biden administration there is a war going on. there is a real going on they are trying to be on both sides of it can't do that you saw the president last week been silent until last week about the campus protest and he comes out statement about blocking people from going to classes is not peaceful protests and things like that. but today he comes out and he does this ironclad promise at the holocaust event at the same time they are slow-walking the ammunition. you can't be on both sides of this war. >> bret: okay. another war happening in the courtroom up in manhattan. stormy daniels, the adult film actress, testified today, and it was quite something from what we're told. take a listen. >> i'm hoping with all my hours
3:52 pm
that they call me i relish the day i get to face him and speak my truth. >> now the jury is going to expect him to testify about stormy daniels' allegations and it's entirely possible that if he testified about it, and they didn't believe him, they might convict him. >> and if you look at polls, josh, "u.s.a. today," for example, just a lot of people, 43.5% say not fair. maybe some people aren't following it. today, i think the trump people are convinced that stormy daniels was caught in a lie in some of that back and forth testimony. what do you make of this pretty salacious, obviously. got a lot of conch. >> i think today's testimony qualified as content i never imagined talking with bret baier about here on fox news. i think it was revealing in other ways. in that it was very political. remember, just as far as the law is concerned, we're talking about charges that were brought about fraud that was aiding and
3:53 pm
abetting an underlying crime that crime of which u.s. attorneys never brought forward and refused to prosecute because they didn't think they actually had a case here. so, of course, from the very beginning of this the allegation was this has got to be political. well, if that's your take, watching what happened today was entirely political. it had absolutely nothing to do with the underlying case. >> bret: we did, olivia, get a sense that the judge got pretty mad today not at the defense but at the prosecution. >> certainly. and i mean i think stormy daniels here has been taking the stand and -- they were arguing about the contours of what she was able to discuss. whether she would get into details which sort of, you know, trump's lawyers were arguing against it. and her team was arguing for it. and they settled on not going into too much detail, which is why we are not able to. >> bret: they caught her, i think, at the end with her book. and what she said in the book as opposed to what she said on the stand. >> right. she also said on the stand that she didn't do any of this for the money.
3:54 pm
i just cannot believe that a jury is actually going to believe that. and i think that the trump people, the trump lawyers feel that they have made some progress here because her lawyer, her original lawyer keith davidson testified. and they portrayed him as a shake down artist. so she is shaking down trump and saying she didn't do it for the money. i think they made some progress. >> bret: meantime there are people like "the view" that is relishing this moment. take a listen. >> oh, well, they were celebrating. where possibly the former president could go to jail. and how do you think that plays, quickly, josh? you know across america. >> i think it's problematic. one of the reasons so strong in a primary against republican voters. many people saw this as a political prosecution from the beginning. where this thing goes only confirms that suspicion in a lot of ways and if you are looking at the content of today's trial. there is nothing to disabuse you from that notion. >> bret: they went with likers,
