david michael cohen, maybe stormy daniels. who do you think would be the most effective witness for the prosecution? >> well, i think michael cohen is going to be the most important one. he was trump's fixer. he was right next to him. he pleaded guilty to federal charges for this hush money deal and another ones. he obviously has credibility issues because of that. he also is the one who's going to be able to tell the story. david is hugely important because he knew trump going back to the 1990s. he was directly involved in three hush money deals. so, he will also -- he's never spoken publicly about this. he will also be very important. >> he may be first. we will see. >> very good to talk with you. thank you so much. >>> cary lakes says her supporters may have to strap on a clock for the next six months. what prompted her to say that, you will hear her words in my they could be dangerous straight ahead. number one, because it's effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know

obviously, this is what happened to michael cohen. so, one thing mr. trump is very, very good at, alex, is moving the goal post on people. i think what was most interesting about the testimony of the last couple of days, is that david pecker has seen this movie before. so, he was not interested in having the goalposts moved on him. he was willing to do a few favors for mr. trump, and then he decided that that was going to be enough for him. he wasn't going to be mr. trump's bank. so, it is a frustrating thing because, listen, everybody is innocent until proven guilty, and this is a criminal case. so, i will just say, everybody is innocent until proven guilty. but, let's face it. people on that campaign team knew about the veracity of the facts associated with this case. >> so, hope hicks being named on the prosecution witness list, how pivotal a role might she play in the trial? >> well, since she is a really good person, i have enormous amount of respect for her, and i think she is going to tell the truth. so, whatever her truth is in terms of interac

he prospectively cooperates what michael cohen is in for. they are calling him just cohen, not even mr. cohen. he cooperates much of what he was going to say. his testimony will be in the broad middle. by david pecker, by the paper, and in other words, they are not relying on them. also making it clear this is about the campaign, nothing else. >> so tim, pecker agreed the story about astar, and it was gold. it could have been taken to the bank. what is the significant of this ? and what is the extent of the sacrifice that pecker was making to help trump? >> he was making a big financial sacrifice, alex. it certainly would be better if it has a screaming headline about the extramarital affair. and rather than crimped that story. he agrees not to and directly benefiting the trump campaign. the significance of that, that is the underlying crime. and the reason for the falsification of the records. the government has to approve that these records were falsified for the underlying purpose for protecting the campaign. they were effectively campaig

part of what the prosecution accomplished is that it is not michael cohen's show, it is going to be the david show right now. i think they did a good job of that. when were talking about cases, were talking about cases where people were killed or someone suffered a injury. that is what the case is and that is important because jury 's acquit. is a documents case and there's ample reason to convict him with what the defense did on the other side, the prosecution won inside the courtroom and the defense won inside the courtroom and we will explore this more later on but they did effectively manage to establish that former president trump is in fact above the law and as a defense team, they are also above the law. see people get thrown what we call the box, which is essentially a jail cell at the courthouse for not calling a judge serve. and i've seen defense lawyers get a lot of trouble just by making the judge angry and when it happens, only other ruling stop going your way. here we saw the judge say you are losing all credibility, sir, they did not bat an eye. that could match her terms

stormy daniels and michael cohen . stormy daniels said she had with trump in 2006, which trump denies. and she was paid off for being silent. 34 counts of falsifying business records to influence the 2016 election. the former president of the united states and the republican presumptive nominee is found guilty, he could face up to for years in prison. >> thank you. let's go to the former bronx, new york assistant district attorney. she was in court for the first week. and the former prosecutor in the district attorney's office in texas and now a civil rights attorney. welcome to both of you. while trump's sits for the hush money trial tomorrow, the judge will hear an argument to reject the bond. does this mean he might again be facing seizure of assets? >> thank you for having me. i think that this certainly puts us in to it an unprecedented situation where we were a few weeks ago where there were concerns that he was not going to make this bond. we would be back to square one. if this bond is voided, the attorney gene
