very busy week of legal proceedings for donald trump. so let's start with his manhattan hush money trial, which was dominated by the testimony of david pecke r former publisher of the national enquirer tabloid, who working with trump and his former fixer michael cohen would buy the right to stories that were unfavorable to trump's 2016 presidential ambitions and then bury them. what would you say was the impact of testimony saying this on the stand under oath. >> yeah, i think that david's testimony was crucial, and it's clear whew the prosecutors began with him to lay out this story of this unlawful, this alleged unlawful behavior. you have to keep in mind that the charges donald trump faces in new york are a little complicated because it's a crime layered upon a crime. one is falsifying business records, but that becomes a felony when it's done for some other criminal purpose in this case fraudulently keeping information from voters to suppress it in an election. and david was a great witness to really put those two things together. he

trump, do you think donald trump is good for the country now? i think it was expected. we have seen high profile juries in new york for everyone from people like bernie madoff all the way to mod bosses. this is the first time in american history lives in a former president put on criminal trial. tomorrow morning is the first time there will be an official opening with opening remarks, opening statements, a prosecutor charging a former president with a crime and should not be any way of ducking the gravity of that. >> super historic. trump was supposed to have the rally last night in north carolina. it would have been his first chance to campaign since the trial began. of course, it was washed out due to the weather. his only campaign appearance was in a bodega in new york which maggie haberman described as more of a stop for a merrill candidate than someone running for president. how is this trial impacting his campaign? could trump just focus on campaigning in new york and in this area on his days off? could that be a good political move for hi

in fact, that was to protect donald trump and keep him out of hot water. it's not the question of whether a witness lied, previously, that will convince the jury about the strength or weakness of the case, it's whether that witness is telling the truth now and whether the witness is corroborated. with things like covert audio recordings of donald trump and michael cullen, conspiring to commit the crime, with hard evidence like, you know, documents and reimbursement checks that donald trump was writing, including out of the oval office, you take the weakness of michael cohen lying and turn it into a strength. you talk about his motive for lying, which was to help his former boss. i am not all that concerned that if the jury follows the evidence and applies the instructions of law, as judge merchan gives it to them, i am fairly confident they may end up convicting donald trump and may do it in a new york minute. >> jurors have already had to worry about their identities being leaked, a couple jurors have been asked to be removed, might we see other jurors as

donald trump looks weak in this tutorial. he is sitting in there and he is not used to being disciplined by the judge. meanwhile, joe biden is on the campaign trail and doing events everywhere and trump is having to go through this trial with a set of jurors who will be interesting to watch. they are clearly people who had to go through a rigorous process to stay on the jury panel. i think this is a moment where the country can continue to see the ways in which donald trump has lied and has done things that nobody would expect of the president. and let's not forget, 91 felony counts for this man and i think we are all watching, having gone through the impeachment trial in the judiciary committee. >> i want to focus on little jesse watters. he is being a pathetic little tool right now as far as i'm concerned. what he is doing by calling out the use jurors and pining on how they will acquit donald trump based on this. you have jesse watters sowing doubt and trying to keep the narrative going. in the second juror jesse watters d
