8:00 pm
>> when fun time from the bay
8:01 pm
area's local news station. you're watching kron. 4 news heading. >> now, a former president trump's first address tonight following his arrest earlier in the day. in his remarks. instead of going on the defensive, the president sounded like he was more on the campaign trail. thanks for joining us tonight on kron. 4 news at 8 o'clock. ken and pam have the night off. i'm grant lotus. i'm justine waldman. president trump addressed a crowd of his mar-a-lago estate. >> around 5.15, this evening. the crowd included supporters like his family failed arizona gubernatorial candidate kari lake and longtime ally roger stone. the former president's tone was stuff i and he spoke for several minutes springing up past issues that >> he considers to be unfair treatment, including both impeachment trials. the 2020 election ballot boxes being stuffed. that's before finally addressing today's proceedings, calling them a
8:02 pm
political witch hunt. former president trump surrender to authorities at a manhattan courthouse around 11 o'clock this morning. pacific time in total. >> he was in the courtroom for about 70 during that time. trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money that was paid to multiple people during the 2016 presidential campahgn. the judge is not imposing a gag order at this point, but is now asking both sides to refrain from comment that could lead to civil unrest. he specifically singled out trump with that comment. the former president is set to return to court in december, presiding over today's historic arraignment was judge won marshawn. >> his caseload is feature charges against the trump organization and some of the former president's closest associates in business and politics. now he's taking on this hush money, prosecution of mister trump himself. the judge is a former manhattan prosecutor was 16 years on the
8:03 pm
bench. the 6 year-old was heavily involved in the tax fraud case against the former president's company. and it's long time finance chief allen weisselberg, which ended with weisselberg's guilty plea under the deal. he received a 5 month jail sentence in exchange for agreeing to testify against the trump organization. now, former president trump has claimed that the judge, quote, hates him. but one attorney that we spoke to disagrees. just mercy on is known to be a judge with an even temperament. he's a thoughtful judge. he knows the law, although trump may say he thinks that this judge hates him. >> there's no evidence or no prior history in the record to show that judge marshawn has any animus, the donald trump, in fact, during the weisselberg trial, he appeared to be a pretty fair judge. the judge emigrated from colombia as a 6 year-old grew up in new york city and earned a law degree from hofstra. 1994. he worked in the state attorney general's office before.
8:04 pm
>> then mayor michael bloomberg appointed him as a family court judge in 2006, 3 years later, he was assigned to the new york supreme court. now, let's take a closer look at the pattern of payments trump allegedly made one of them he made involve the national enquirer. the tabloid was a longtime trump ally. the enquirer is accused of paying $30,000 to a former trump tower doorman. >> who claim to know trump had a child out of wedlock. the publication later reported the claim was untrue. and then the tabloid made $150,000 payment to karen mcdougal. a playboy playmate, mcdougal wanted to sell her story of an affair with trump during the 2016 campaign and the final payment, which is the focus of the indictment here, involved $130,000 deal between trump's former lawyer and fixer, michael cohen and star stormy daniels in the final days of the campaign. the money here. but daniel silence about an affair she says she had with trump a decade prior. trump denies any wrongdoing related
8:05 pm
to these payments. one of the big questions is where these payments part of a scheme to undermine the 2016 election. and for more on what is next and what just happened. we're joined by loyola law school professor jessica levinson, who also hosts the passing judgment podcast. jessica, appreciate youretime. i know you've been super busy when you drop your next podcast, how would you sum this up? >> i think this up by saying it's about what we expected, but it's a little bit broader, as you described in the introduction. this is not just about stormy daniels. this is about a pattern and practice of behavior where the former president is former attorney michael cohen and the former publisher of the national enquirer basically entered into agreements, were going to buy up stories that would be bad for you. not bad for you, donald j trump in your personal capacity or in the business world, the bad for
8:06 pm
you for the campaign. and that's where campaign finance laws kick in. i think the other big takeaway here is that alvin bragg did not give us more than what he needed to. he gave us a fairly bare-bones indictment. that's not a criticism, but it's fairly bare bones. and as we expected, the crux of all of this is based on the false a vacation of business records. the idea that when the former president was repay and michael cohen, he said they were legal expenses and they were not and that we're moving up to a felony. because what alvin bragg is going alleges that that's also patient was done in further its of trying to commit or conceal other crimes and that they knew it was illegal. exactly that you need that intent to commit or concealed the crimes that you can't have accidently stumbled into illegality. these are intent based cracks. now there >> was a lot that happened today. a lot of circus with the media and the flying of the plane and back to
8:07 pm
mar-a-lago on the rally. but our next court date that we're going to be covering here that president former president trump will be present for is in december. that's a long way from now. what happens between now and that? >> i think probably in earlier court date, the judge basically said i will see you if not sooner on december 4th, but i think that there will be motion practice in this case. i think the former president's attorneys will try and get the case trone out. they'll try and say that there's a statute limitations issue which i don't think is insurmountable even a huge issue to be frank. i think they'll claim that alvin bragg, many overreached and doesn't have the power to hook this falsifications business records to a state crime because we're talking about a federal candidate or conversely to federal crimes because we're talking about a state prosecutor. so that's a long way of saying i think we could certainly see that there would be a number of legal arguments and motions filed that could force the parties back sooner than december.
8:08 pm
4th. i think there's some people out there who think, yes, no one is above the law. >> but this might be the weakest case against trump. when you consider the 2 federal cases involving the documents that were taken to mara lago. the insurrection and then also the finding votes in georgia. are you concerned that if this case doesn't work, those other cases, the prosecutors might be reticent to pursue them. >> yes, i am. i actually wrote a column where said that basically i'm concerned that this looks like from the outside the weakest case and because it's going forward first, obviously there's an even greater weight than if it came 3rd or 4th. we always know that historic first just bear more scrutiny. i am for that reason. i circumspect about this case, but i think that all of the other prosecutors will and should look at their cases on independent basis to them involves different facts and
8:09 pm
different loss. this case today, does it? does it feel like a strong case? so it feels like we don't know everything. i will say that there are certainly you can point to them some challenges for the prosecution. i think that there are challenges that they can pass. as we talked about some of the thresholds, this statute limitations issues. the issue is proving intent and issues involving what the other crimes might i think that a prosecutor again could prove all that. but i don't there is in all cases there's a big difference between indictment and conviction. and we're going to see that. >> the da said today that there were some additional evidence that led him to move forward with finally bringing this is, quote, tom, be case because it still for so long. what was that additional evidence? >> so we we don't know for sure where that additional evidence was. i think in part it was talking to michael cohen and finding him to be credible. i think in part it was talking to david packer
8:10 pm
and he did come, i believe, last or second to last in terms of witnesses before the grand jury showing that he will be important to this case in finding that this again was not just about the payments to stormy daniels, but that this was about an agreement to, quote, unquote, catch and kill the stories that would be bad for trump leading up to the elections. so i think part of it part of that is what really convinced alvin bragg care. david packer, of course, the publisher of the national choir >> jessica, can you kind of lump the 2 issues together and give us perspective. you have the political side of this. obviously the former president is now a candidate again for president. and then you have all these legal issues that are coming to the forefront. how do you see the next? i don't know, year. plus going when you might have a trial during, you know, an election year. >> so unfortunately, i think we're always viewing these legal issues to our political and i think for people who
8:11 pm
support the president, they think these are basically bookkeeping issues and that it's a witch hunt. i think that for people who are critics of the president, they look at this and they say it looks like a strong case to me and it looks like the president was trying to hide information from the american public in terms of what happens next politically, i think it really depends on what we talked about before, which is are there other indictments? >> and as well, the former president has been able to fund raise a lot in the short term off of this particular indictment. >> if he does get the republican nomination again, he's going to have to appeal to a much broader audience. and i just it's hard to imagine that this indictment would be a plus for independents and moderates. >> the former president has now raised some 10 million dollars since thursday when the indictment was released. his poll numbers are up just trying to like step back from all the legal aspects of everything. there might be some short-term games for the president as far as fundraising and poll numbers. but will this hurt him in the
8:12 pm
long term or is this really going to work and his advantage because republicans are going to rally around him. >> well, i think your question, it is clearly helping with his base, at least in the short term. we don't know how big that base is. if it really encompasses the entire republican primary but there's some indication that the party is absolutely continues to be with him, that he's still very popular in the republican party. and therefore, it's you know, his narrative really has been i am a victim of political witch and this he's trying to show is an example of and so again, the primary, it could potentially be helpful. but i think the general election is just a different world in a different audience. indeed. we have to leave it there. we're out of time. jessica levinson, really appreciate your time tonight. she is the well law school law professor who also host the passing judgment podcast. thanks a lot.
