in studio, jessica roth, a former federal prosecutor for the southern doctor district of new york, and jill, she has known judge merchan for 15 years. chuck, i think today was a good reminder for all of us not just that everything you put down in a text or an e-mail lives forever, but that for all the salacious details in this trial, it is going to come down to what we're calling dry details, those signed checks, how mail got delivered to donald trump, the phone records. how does this set the stage for michael cohen? >> that's right, chris. look, mr. trump is not charged with having sex with stormy daniels. it's largely irrelevant. it provides some of the context, but that's not the crime. the crime is the falsification of books and records. so what a prosecutor would have to show is that the books and records were false, that they were intentionally false, and in this case, that mr. trump directed that. you know, think of it this way, chris. in a bank robbery, the guy standing in the lobby of the bank with a gun and a mask and a bag of cash is the bank robber. it's not that hard, but

william: jessica roth teaches law at cardozo law school in new york city, with expertise in white-collar crime. jessica: first, he's pled guilty to crimes that involve deception and deceit, including tax fraud, bank fraud, and lying to congress. and those crimes go to his truthfulness, as a witness. secondly, he's been inconsistent in terms of what he has said about trump's involvement in this scheme. he previously, before he decided to turn against the former president, said that trump was uninvolved in the payments to stormy daniels. and then finally, he is a biased witness in the sense that it's quite clear - and he's been quite explicit about the fact - that he harbors significant animosity toward the former president. they were once close, they are no longer. and so the defense, i think, will be able to point to that bias and suggest to the jury that it is coloring cohen's testimony. william: jury selection starts monday. potential jurors will be questioned about their political allegiances, knowledge of the case, and whether they're able to render fair judgment in this historic fir
