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

with donald trump. because clearly a judge in a case like this has the appeal on his mind all the time. he knows if there is a guilty verdict here that donald trump is going to want to appeal this in as many ways in as many angles as he possibly can. is there something that the judge has to worry about in the possible appeals future of this case that inhibits him in policing, right now, donald trump's conduct, for example, including attacking jurors? >> yes. so the judge is absolutely right to worry about in appeal. trump is going to file an appeal if he is convicted no matter what, and trial judges generally have a lot of discretion over how to run their trials. so the thumb on the scale is going to be in favor of the judge but that doesn't give them an unlimited blank check. i think today generally was a good day. they took eight steps forward and only two back. that is a good day in the trump trial world because they are trying to find 12 people in the world in manhattan who don't have strong feeling
