a claim trump denies. the defense claims trump was not involved in any way with cohen's payment. the reimbursement checks being generated or the entry in his company's business ledger, it was someone else's doing. they told the jury that nondisclosure agreements are used all the time and are perfectly legal and in trump's overused playbook, his lawyers claim that even if he did try to influence an election, there's nothing wrong with it. it's called democracy. of course, that will be what the 12-member jury will ultimately have to decide. joining me now is msnbc reporter adam reese, who was at the courthouse today. danny cevallos, criminal defense attorney and msnbc legal analyst, and jill wine banks, former assistant watergate special prosecutor and msnbc contributor. while i cannot and refuse still to believe you were old enough to be involved in the nixon investigation, jill, i do want to have you here because i want you to please reflect on the fact we're now having what didn't happen in the case you investigated with nixon, the prosecution of a former president in this case.

trump and she has been loyal to mr. trump. this is where you get this intersection, that is what rona graff faced, as well. you are now on the line, somebody has broken the law. this is obviously an election interference issue, a very serious issue. it is not just a hush money case. so, i am sure hope is being well advised by her lawyers, under no circumstances can you commit perjury in a case like this. just be careful, because the government has access to lots and lots of information. so, you have to tell the truth. i hope that she will do that, even if it hurts mr. trump. >> do you have any sense of any kind of relationship between them now? if they stay in communication? i'm talking about "hopey", as donald trump would call her. >> i actually don't. i actually know that one of my friends, when i worked with goldman sachs, recently married hope. i wish them great success. she is a lovely person. but again, this is just the problem of working with mr. trump. so, maybe to build but are thinking about working for mr. trump don

this is not directly related to donald trump's trial or even donald trump, but this is a man who is alleged a vast conspiracy that includes the american government, politicians, university, major financial figures. and i won't go further down the rabbit hole, but i can tell you this is not somebody who is a partisan. it apparently seems to be, but somebody who has gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories that led them to use this mass media moment for the act that this person engaged in. of course the headline that we're looking at is the fact that we've got a jury and we're looking at potential opening statements this upcoming monday morning. we don't know exactly who the witnesses are going to be first call. you said about the sandoval hearing, the sandoval hearing where currently these potential cases, past trial determinations from the e. jean carroll suit to the fraud trial, if donald trump were to testify there are current deliberations to the extent which the prosecution could cross examine donald trump about those cases. this will come down to the determination of the judge in

it did not matter to trump. what mattered to him was the cameras would be there and he could play that like he had a good reception and he was handing out for -- standing up for something good. >> this poll shows a striking phenomenon. when you're out of the third party vote. especially rfk jr. the two- point lead that trampled over biden actually flips with five candidates in the race. biden is the one with the two- point advantage, still within the margin of error. nbc notes this finding contrasts with conventional political wisdom as well as results from national polls suggesting that a bigger third- party voters biden more. what do you think the biden campaign can glean from this? >> i think they could be very unsafe ground to say that kennedy, because of his views, anti-vaccine or his financial supporters are per trump, that he may in fact end up hurting trump more than he would hurt biden, particularly when a large amount of the kennedy family has come out for biden. and some even making some very strong s

he did it to protect donald trump. cohen lied to congress about business deals trump pursued in russia while he was running for president because trump wanted him to conceal those business deals so his russia baggage wouldn't look so obvious. and cohen lied to a bank to take out a home equity line of credit to pay to silence a woman alleging a sexual relationship with donald trump. namely stormy daniels. trump weirdly keeps leaving out those details when he calls his former personal attorney and fixer a criminal. in clear violation, by the way, of a gag order. tomorrow there will be another chance to hold donald trump accountable in an unprecedented case with farther reaching implications, not just for him but for our democracy. the u.s. supreme court will hear arguments in donald trump versus the united states about whether he can claim sweeping presidential immunity over his criminal election interference charges from special counsel jack smith. but even for the conservative majority hears one word of arguments, it i
