donald trump? >> reporter: what is it about donald trump is a good question, chris. donald trump has staying power in so many ways. well, you may lose an election like the one in 2020, you also continue to have a following that is indignant upon any efforts to undermine him or the prestige of the trump organization or the political following, one that did garner more than 80 million votes in 2020, and folks are not naive to that, so even when donald trump loses an election or endorses candidates in 2022 who do lose, he continues to hold power to a great extent and also financial power, and that is what michael cohen for all those years had a full understanding of. hope hicks is going to take the stand here as a witness, and she has never met the ire of donald trump. those individuals who have caught his frustration are those who have attempted to sustain away from him, and when those individuals do step away from him, donald trump like bill barr, you are all but gone from his orbit here, and that's

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
