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

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

cohen who is a witness. they are catching undercover liberal activists to get on the trump jury. jesse waters. what happened on tuesday? >> there are two orders to show cause is essentially like saying to your child prove to me why you shouldn't be grounded. on tuesday, trump's lawyers will have the opportunity to argue why their client shouldn't be held in criminal contempt and sanctioned with a thousand per fine or something worse because the d.a.'s office said we are contemplating what the sanction is. you better believe that they are watching what he is going to do over the ensuing few days. >> they have a brief due tomorrow by 5:00 p.m. the gag order prohibits making or directing others to make statement it is doesn't prohibit republication. which is what he did with the serial perjurer post that you mentioned. he reposted that article not once, not twice, five different times in different places as well. but their other argument is that the gag order is ambiguous somehow and i'm not sure how that works

michael cohen was not part of the campaign. when he said we, i thought he was talking about himself and mr. trump. it sounds like he thought he was acting at the direction of donald trump. he published stories like this about texas senator ted cruz who challenged trump in the primary. extramarital affairs with multiple women. or this story, remember this one? this one got a little bit of attention. admitted making up linking ted cruz to the john f. kennedy assassination. remember that one? the substance of this is what the inquirer did not practice -- did not publish as part of a practice known as catch and kill. culminating in a 2015 meeting -- >> reporter: tonight a person with the matter tells nbc news that candidate trump was in the room when the national enquirer publisher discussed ways that ami could help quash negative stories about mr. trump's relationships with women. >> that was from 2018 when the meeting was first reported. in that meeting in august he told trump through michael cohen that anything i hear in the mar

trump was asking michael cohen did we hear anything yet? also testified that trump called him directly about the mcdougall story but then the candidate saying i spoke to michael and, quote, he told me about karen and trump said to me, what do you think? p ecker he said trump to push the mcdougall story pick former edison are will resume his testimony we have the day off tomorrow for the trial but we already know how the story ends, the inquirer paid mcdougall 150 grand for the rights to her story and her silence but, here's the asterisk, which is great, trump was supposed to repay p ecker, he wasn't just doing this as charity. he was the pass-through, if you will. but trump did what he always does, he stiffed him on the bill $150,000, which is why michael cohen was the one forced to pay stormy daniels out of his own pocket. that, of course, is why trump was ultimately in court today. msnbc legal correspondent wasn't watching from inside the courtroom, andrew rice also in the courtroom today, he is a writer near magazine where he just profil
