what is the jury to do with this latest david pecker testimony? >> well, i think the problem is that from the prosecution standpoint, they are trying to convince the jury that there is this scheme to steal the election and that this deal is a component of it. to me, the trump defense should be there was nothing illegal about this deal and would i would be more concerned about, the more they go at pecker and cross-examine about this but conveys to the jury they must be being hurt by it why else testing pecker's testimony the way they are doing? i must say, shannon, i would have been tempted to do a very short cross examination of pecker, like five or ten minutes to get across to the jury that nothing he testified to -- the longer they go after this the more impression it is hurt by it and maybe bragg's theory is right. maybe part of a big conspiracy. >> shannon: you think they should wrap it up with this witness. we talked earlier about the fact the defense team has been pushing for more information which witnesses with coming next but hesitation t

eric shawn mentioned david pecker will be the first witness and "the new york times" reporting that pecker, who ran a company that owned the "national enquirer" set to go first and expected to recount for the jury several conversations with mr. trump about the hush money and that's according to a person familiar with the plan. how do you see this shaping up as leading statements get underway today? >> i think the problem here is that we have a legal dispute. i don't think there will be much dispute about what actually factually happened. what i was struck when you played that clip from alvin grog he says trump made these book entries which he claims were false in order to cover up crimes leading up to the 2016 election. if trump committed crimes leading up to the 2016 election, why didn't bragg just charge him with those? the reason that we keep calling this is hush money trial is they don't have a crime. if trump had robbed a bank we would call it his bank robbery trial or shot someone on fifth avenue that he famously said back in 2015 and 2016 they would charge him with that. we keep cal
