the very next day, stormy daniels, there's an agreement for stormy daniels to get paid $130,000, agreed to by michael cohen. what was michael cohen's role in the campaign at the time? >> his role was to sort of do whatever donald trump needed him to do to be a fixer, to make the payments like this, to bully members of the press, to take care of messes, to clean up messes, and that's what he was trying to do. there was the campaign side. there were people who have been brought in to run the president's campaign. they were the ones figuring out what the president would say in a video where he tried to express some contrition, trying to get talking points to surrogates, and trying to control the president somewhat. michael cohen was out there also at the same time, trying to sweep other problems under the rug and make them go away. i was struck going back and reading some of our coverage that moment and the days after, remembering how many other women came out of the wood work with similar accusations to exactly what donald trump was describing on the "access hollywood" tape. there were a

david michael cohen, maybe stormy daniels. who do you think would be the most effective witness for the prosecution? >> well, i think michael cohen is going to be the most important one. he was trump's fixer. he was right next to him. he pleaded guilty to federal charges for this hush money deal and another ones. he obviously has credibility issues because of that. he also is the one who's going to be able to tell the story. david is hugely important because he knew trump going back to the 1990s. he was directly involved in three hush money deals. so, he will also -- he's never spoken publicly about this. he will also be very important. >> he may be first. we will see. >> very good to talk with you. thank you so much. >>> cary lakes says her supporters may have to strap on a clock for the next six months. what prompted her to say that, you will hear her words in my they could be dangerous straight ahead. number one, because it's effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know

stormy daniels and karen mcdougal are important to the beginning. they explain why this thing happened. you don't have to prove motive as a prosecutor, but they help explain the motive. >> do they have to prove intent? >> they absolutely have to prove intent, but intent and motive are two different things. let's say you robbed a bank, not that you ever would. why you robbed the bank is not something i have to prove. you may have done it to feed your family, to pay off gambling debts. your motive in robbing the bank, it's nice if i have it. in this case they do have it, so they can adduce it. you can't commit a crime by accident for negligence. it has to be something that you've done purposefully. >> sotemidayo, what do you do if you have a witness like trump who has credibility issues? i guess it happens in every trial, you have people -- >> it happens all the time. prosecutors are very well equipped to handle this. you say the government didn't pick him, donald trump picked him. if you're picking a man to cover up your crime, to basically join a co
