the two of them did speak about this alleged misstress karen mcdougal. i think the story should be purchased, i believe you could "buy or sell" it. trump said pecker did not like the idea but candidate trump said pecker would get back to him in due time. wasn't a good day for the former president. before proceedings had gotten underway, the judge was scolding him over his social meeta page, which the prosecution say had breached the gag order. if they were hoping that admonishment would exchange his behavior, they might be disappointed. >> i think the gag order is totally uncongress institutional. can't even allow articles to be put in. articles over the last day and a half saying the case is a sham and it shouldn't be retried or everyone submitted. to me, a gag is totally unconstitutional. i'm not allowed to talk to people and not allowed to talk about me and they're keeping me in a courtroom, that's freezing, by the way. in a courtroom all day long sitting up as straight as i can all day long because you know what, it's a very unfair situation. christi

first with stormy daniels and later with karen mcdougal who herself was paid by the national enquirer. they are using david pecker to set the stage. we have scratched the surface with his beginning testimony that will continue tomorrow. host: tell us about what we heard from the defense in the opening arguments. reporter: the defense's role today in their opening statement was to sow doubt through the prosecution's case because the burden of proof is on the prosecution. and todd blanche, donald trump's lawyer was mocking several elements of their case saying there is nothing illegal about influencing an election, it is called democracy, he said. he also said the catch and skill -- catch and kill scheme, nothing wrong with that either. he put distance between trump and falsifying records. saying he was so far up in the organization that he did not have his hand in the details. another key piece we will see is in trying to say that the prosecution's case is built on unreliable witnesses. for michael cohen, they painted him as someone that has a vendetta against donald trump wanting to s

under prosecution questioning she said she did and put the former playboy model karen mcdougal and stormy daniels contacts into donald trump's contacts at trump tower and vaguely recalls seeing stormy daniels there in the lead up to the 2016 election. rhona graff says she has respect for donald trump. as she left, you could see him try to get up and briefly say hello to her. things were very different when the defense got a chance to finally cross-examine the former publisher of the national inquirer david pecker. they tried to get him to poke holes the prosecution narrative saying essentially the catch and kill scheme was good business for pecker and he cooperated with prosecutors because he was in the middle of a media acquisition deal and did not want that to be impacted. pecker hit back. he said he had been truthful the entire time and understood the catch and kill scheme to be in service of donald trump's campaign. the defense struggled to put a hole in the prosecution narrative. >> briefly, what will you be watching in a week to come? >> after president biden said he would be happy
