pecker reiterate that th was done to help donald trump's campaign. so looking at the morning session, the defense did not do enough to damage the prosecution's narrative. but ware only on the first witness so far. >> let's talk to former prosecutor joe miranda. good to have your insight. there was a lot of noise, we have heard a lot from donald trump outside of court, we've heard a lot from the prosecution laying out their case. are we clear about whichay this case could head? >> i would not put much stock in what donald trump says. he tends to use a lot of hyperbole and hope the reality follows. as far as we know about the case itself, the prosecution made a real point of going back to david packer and said these actions to protect donald trump or not done in a vacuum. they were done leading up to the 2016 election with the purpose of helping him get elected. that is a critical bridge the prosecution has to connect. they have to say these were not just routine books and records entries designed to cover up some kind of sleazy hush money payment, whi
