the idea that donald trump knew what he was doing. i mean, is there a witness that you have seen from the list of people that may be called to the stand that could be helpful to trump's case at this point? >> not necessarily. witnesses in the oval office with michael cohen, that's not helpful. if a witness says trump was meticulous in signing his checks, and wasn't a passive player that's not helpful. there's nobody the prosecution is lining up that will helpful. josh stein glass and chris conroy, they know what they are doing. so i am overwhelmingly confident donald trump is in trouble, but it is the burden of the prosecution. that's what we started off with , how important david is invalidating how important this is about otherwise why would you sign off, who cares about hush money? there needs to be some nexus, and that is what these witnesses will show. >> do you have suspicion of what they might do? >> of david-pecker? i think they are going to do everything they can to show he is a liar, that what he is saying is not only ill- i

it wasn't a confession that she was biased against trump but defendant donald trump's project all along has been to distort the truth surrounding this trial to attack the process, to undermine the judicial system. in yet another last-ditch effort this afternoon, trumps lawyers tried to get an emergency stay from a new york state appeals court, arguing there was no possible way for trump to get a fair trial in manhattan. the response from the district attorney, alvin bragg's office was simple . with the last week has shown is that the jury selection has worked. "we have 18 ordinary new yorkers who are ready to serve. it would be unfair to them and the public for this trial to be delayed further." the appeals court judge agreed and rejected trump's request. right now, the good news is amidst all the intensity and the rock is, the judicial system so far has not meant to trumps attacks. despite what he says, the system is working for the former president, just like it would for any other american. at the end of today, a full jury in a 12 member jury with 6 alternates was seated. donald trum

talking to michael cohen and donald trump about this. a very strong witness on the outside, it seems, on the stand. i wonder how much he is really undergirded a very strong argument in advance of michael cohen's testimony. >> there are a couple of things that are great about him. first you get the real sense that it is principal and principal. david pecker, donald trump. michael cohen is a staffer to use nicolle wallace's term. he is not a principal in this. you have the national enquirer and you have donald trump, they are making the decisions. that is important and he tells you how it began, how it was carried out and how it ended. he also gives you why it is a felony and why you should care. what i mean by why it is a felony, remember this would be a misdemeanor if it is not to conceal or further some other crime and he tells you it is election fraud. >> full on. >> up one side and down the other. so the only piece that is really missing is sort of the false business records. so the piece that you still need, obviously there are false

trump can mount a proper public defense, does donald trump really need to do it himself? he sure seems to have plenty of other people doing that for him already. last week, right wing media, and in particular fox news host jesse watters, demonized individual members of this jury. one of the things prosecutors dissected specifically as one of the instances of trump breaking his gag order was trump quoting jesse watters and saying "they are catching undercover liberal activists leading to the judge in order to get on the trump jury." here is the thing. jesse watters didn't actually say that. trump added to the part that read in order to get on the trump jury. but, within hours, jesse watters directed trumps mistake for him , posting trumps incorrect version of the quote to jesse watters's own twitter account, in effect, retroactively making his own words the words that trump wanted them to be. quite clearly and quite literally, they are heeding trumps calls. they are taking his line edits. what does a gag order mean when you have someone like this with a microphone? >> the

about two negative stories about donald trump. stories that the national enquirer purchased the exclusive rights to and then sat on so the accusations against trump would not come out before the election. a process that is now known publicly as catch and kill. the first of these involved a doorman who alleged trump had fathered a love child with the housekeeper. the enquirer determined it untrue but bought anyway so it couldn't be sold to anyone else. then there was karen mcdougal who alleged she had an affair with donald trump. the enquirer also bought the right to her story so she could not go public with it. and what we learned in court today is all of this behind the scenes maneuvering much light those bomb shell cover stories was for one express purpose. to help the trump campaign. now that part of the deal where you were going to notify them so they could buy up negative information about mr. trump, that part, did that part help the national inquirer at a all? how was that going to boost sales at the national enquirer? no. t
