The propalestinian protesters welcome im dr. Bryan todd reporting fromw university darts, gas from a white house aide, amoroso manahel newman, and an exclusive Outfront Investigations night, an event that our reporter got kicked out of when trying to show, you inside a world republicans dont want you to see world led by a man who is a model for trumps second term and more Breaking News Campus Chaos and other University Giving protesters a deadline to get out or else lets go out front good evening. Im Erin Burnett Out Front tonight. What have we done . Four words in one text a text that could spell big trouble for trump during his nearly six hours of testimony, Stormy Daniels, former attorney, was asked about this text message that he sent to the former editor of the nasser snl inquire that tax. What have we done . We sent on Election Night in 2016. What have we done in the text goes so the prosecutor ask the witness, Keith Davidson, what did you mean when you say, what have we done . Davidson responds, i think there was an understanding that this is a text between dylan howard, who is obviously the editor of the asheville inquire. And i and this was an understanding that our efforts may have in some way, i should strike that. That our efforts may have in some way assisted the president ial campaign of donald trump so we thought carefully about his words, was careful with them. And that exchange is crucial context, of course, to the hundred 30,000 payment to Stormy Daniels because one of the reasons trump is charged with a felony is for covering up a payment in order to impact an election after that crucial piece of evidence came out in court, trump went before the cameras to talk about it as hes been doing every day here. But for the first time something really changed here. He claimed for the first time that he is not allowed to be a witness in the case. Well, im not allowed to test if i am under a gag of course, thats false. He can testify its nothing to do with the gag order. The gag order prevents him from attacking witnesses or jurors and heres the thing about that for him to say, oh, id love to, but i cant. I mean, yes, part the course of his history on these issues, but it is an incredible reversal from what he has said repeatedly. He has said that he would testify in this trial testifying your client. Yeah, i would testify. Absolutely. Its a scam im testifying until the truth. I mean, all i can do is tell the truth all right. Are reporters in the courtroom saying at time say trump was leaning back in his chair, closing his eyes i saw that when i was in the courtroom, it was clear to me that he was listening when that happened, but there had been speculation on twitter that hes dozing off and today he got on truth social during the lunch break and responded to those charges, writing contrary to fake news media, i dont fall asleep during the cricket das, which on especially not today, i simply close my beautiful blue eyes. Sometimes listen intensely. Take it all in paula reid is upfront live outside the courthouse to begin our coverage. So you obviously are in the heart of this case and as i said, it, all jokes aside, what i saw on the courtroom the other day, he was not falling asleep and its hard to imagine him or anyone else could fall asleep today with what you saw in that courtroom . Right youre Hearing Testimony about other scandals involving celebrities like Charlie Sheen, T Lift Tequila and even whole cogen and even though Keith Davidson, who was involved in deals related to all of those scandals, even though he was called by the prosecution today, trumps Defense Lawyers were clearly on offense long day always been very happy about the way things and he should be Keith Davidson, a los angeles lawyer who formerly represented Stormy Daniels was back on the Witness Stand. Trumps lawyers trying to paint him as a lawyer with a history of Extracting Big Month see from highprofile figures and directly asked if he was engaging in extortion. The defense pointed to a 2,000,000 deal he secured for one of his clients from actor Charlie Sheen, but davidson refused to answer questions of the agreement citing attorneyclient privilege, davidson was then grilled about his representation of a client i ask who tried to sell whole cogen his own sex tape. I did everything i could to make sure my activities were lawful. Davidson said he acknowledged that his dealings or hogans representatives were under scrutiny from the fbi. They had an investigation . Yes. Davidson testified davidson repeatedly answered that he could not recall when asked about but other deals which resulted in a Testy Exchange with the Defense Attorney who said, were both lawyers. Im not here to play lawyer games with you. Defense lawyers tried to tie davidsons other deals to his monetary settlement for daniels suggesting that he was trying to avoid being accused of extortion. Trumps attorney asked one of the issues you had to be sensitive about was not to threaten that the payment needed to be made prior to the election. I dont recall that davidson responded, trump paid close attention to his legal team as they crossexamined davidson, even turning his chair towards the Witness Stand at one point under questioning from prosecutors, david good said admitted that he told Michael Cohen that daniels would lose her leverage if trump lost the 2016 election. He also testified to cohens chaotic State Of Mind in december 2016, were calling a phone call with Cohen Davidson said that he was very upset that he had not been chosen for a role in the trump administration. I thought he was going to kill himself. Davidson testified District Attorney alvin bragg has kept a low profile throughout this trial, but today he made aware appearance in court and he appeared shortly before one of his employees, douglas dot, two processes electronic evidence for the District Attorney had to take the stand. Now, a source familiar with his thinking with his Management Style tells me that bragg wanted to show support for his employee, who of course only has to testify around because the Trump Defense team refuses to stipulate to any of this evidence and that means a lot more witnesses just to get basic things in front of the jury. All right. Paula, thank you so much. Are experts all here with me. So teryoshin, you were in court today as youve been every single day. So the other day when you and i were saying theyre davidson began his testimony and I Remember You and i were talking when he was confident he was detailed, he was comfortable losing aging with the jury. He was in his element but today, you are sitting there. He says, i dont recall repeatedly. I know he was flushed at one point at tell me about it. He also had long pauses. Aaron and i think hes my attorney, of course. He wanted to be very careful about what he was saying. It is much more difficult to be crossexamined than it is to do a direct examination. And because you havent practiced it, and its not a script, i think when beauvais was questioning him, he got a little bit agitated as matter of fact, they started to argue at one point and you said it earlier, the fact that, well, were both lawyers. That is something unusual to hear. And he chose his words very carefully. It was interesting. He was night and day different from what he was on direct examination under cross and there was a lot of challenges in this cross, but jeremy, when you were inside the courtroom, you could actually see the jury and youre very close to them. I mean, the other day i was clear to me they were paying very close attention, but to this with ease fireworks today with davidson under cross, what is the jurys reaction . Yeah. I think its worth staying at the start. It feels like the jury has been paying attention throughout every time ive looked over whether its an interesting witness like davidson, whether its a less interesting witness, perhaps we got to talking about records like, i mean, i was shocked at how much they still were paying attention but certainly during this testimony that the jareh was engaged, i were watching. You could see if a tennis match back and between buggy and mr. Davidson . I also think its worth noting that trump was paying very close attention to this part of the testimony when davidson finished in the morning with the direct trump, did his zoning out where he had his eyes closed, you know, whether youre sleeping or not with whos to say there he turned in his chair. He was watching this closely throughout the hour before lunch so in the cross, if paul the defense, did try to discredit davidson, so they they they talked about other Celebrity Cases where he would go to them and say, oh, if you dont give me money, Charlie Sheen, whole cogen t tequila. They used the word extortion are these the kinds of things that could discredit a witness . Under the jury with whats at stake here. These are the things i can describe a witness. The fact that he pauses at times the time that he was deliberate in his in his answers, the fact that his demeanor during direct examination is different than cross. All those things are important, but i wouldve liked to have seen the prosecution bring a lot more out about the negatives about him, too blunt with the Defense Attorney was going to do. This seemed a bit they didnt seem like they expected this stuff which is how could you not expect it, right . I mean, thats the thing. I mean, you dont realize your client was involved and deal with all go again or Charlie Sheen for 2 million of glaring oversights if thats what they are. So ryan trumps attorney, as part of this, when they were going after davidson introduces recording, where davidson its talking to Michael Cohen and saying Stormy Daniels one of the money quote more than you could ever imagine okay, then he continues in this, they give the transcript of this call between Cohen Davidson. Davidson says, if he loses this election and hes going to lose, we lose all i think leverage now, you can look at this several ways, but one of them would be to be like, wow, this shirt makes it look like davids is acknowledging that his best election was his best election, his best leverage was to use the election to try to get paid to basically extort right but when i saw that, i thought, wow, thats pretty damaging against the defense. You might even think that the prosecution would introduce the recording. Okay. So explain The Other Side, how your site is. Its just remarkable the recording as davidson saying to cohen that we will lose all leverage after the election meaning that this is all tied to the election that is the missing piece that the prosecutors have to prove. They have to prove that this whole scheme falsifying business records, et cetera, was directed towards the election and trying to influence the election by not having the information come out yeah. Okay. So i understand your point, but if its davidson saying it is it davidson saying i proceed . Kyiv that the election is the dangling sort of damocles that i have here as opposed to the mode of needing to come from The Other Side . Yes, absolutely. And i think thats the best explanation for why is the defense in fact raising this . Theyre trying to say its in davidsons head. This is the guy who extorts people. He was using the election to extort people in his mind hes, focused on the election as a leverage point, but donald trump is not. You dont have any evidence that says donald trump was thinking about the election Donald Trumps thinking about his wife and his family, thats the defenses argument. And thats why maybe theyre introducing it as that explains the timing because the jury might think, why is this all happening in the late October Of 2016 has got to do with the election yes. But as davidson is thinking about the life so that was a we, we see the transcript. There was a conversation played today. The actual audio of a conversation that trumps team played in the cross. And this was you got i guess everyones attention. So we just play it firstyear me for everybody. Heres the clip i need to open up a company the transfer of all of info regarding our friend david. I spoke to alan about it when it comes time for the financing which will be paid new. So getting old woman on. Okay. So just to be clear, this discussion is about the Karen Mcdougal payment, not the Stormy Daniels payment, but you have donald trump talking about financing money in a payment to a woman so that is what this establishes. Youre watching the jury when they hear this clip, what happened . It was really striking because the sound, it was almost booming when you had and this was one of several recordings that we heard today. We also heard Michael Cohens conversations with Keith Davidson it was almost like it was a theater when it was the sound was was quite loud. The jury youre not only going to hear it here, Michael Cohens voice for the first time, but they had the transcript of the screen. It was in front of them. And so they were certainly watching donald trump has also looking at the screen, so they could read the conversation, kinda watch whats going on in real time. But obviously Michael Cohen is a key witness that there eventually going to hear from. But this was the first time they actually heard his voice, heard him dealing with trump. And i think its probably not the last time were going to hear no. But what was trumps reaction when he hears that call . Well, i can tell you everybody in the room, including trump, when they heard his voice because they played it and that was the voice we heard first. We were all surprised. I thought we were gonna here cohen or davidson or someone else, but we heard trump and i think everybody looked up including donald trump because he heard his own voice. And i think it means that he knows that there is some solid evidence against him. Now, we have his voice before. It was just Michael Cohen. Michael cohen. Now, its donald trump was actually doing the talk as possible. You may not have known about that call until that moment or he should have known. I mean, the the your council is provided, but these documents and these tapes long before you got sent to them and no, clearly they knew this was coming. Now, whether they told their client than it was coming as another okay. Okay another crucial moment for the Defense Today Davidson says, quote, i have had no personal interactions with donald trump so again, that call we just heard as Michael Cohen, donald trump talking about Financing Payment to Karen Mcdougal, davidson represented her. You also up and represent stormy daniel. And whats at stake in this case. But he says, ive had no personal interactions with him. So has the prosecution had any success so far in linking the Stormy Daniels payment to trump, which they must do not really. So theyve had some witnesses speculating that trump was behind the scenes and understood it, but not not not yet. I think that is an important missing piece that the prosecution has to prove and the current in the coming days. And theres another piece as well that the prosecution i think was in the back heel is because the Defense Counsel also says, well, we have these signs the agreements, but wheres Donald Trumps name . He seems absent absent from the agreement. Absent from the understanding. Theres the missing piece, right . I guess they could point to well, who says you prove to Karen Mcdougals wants to pay cash, but paul, another point, trumps Attorney Says today you never linked these negotiations to the 2016 election with anyone . That your testimony asking of Davidson Davidson says thats fair. So even as he saying you know, this is, this our moment, were going to lose all fing leverage. Hes saying at the same time that he never linked the negotiators to the payment directly to the election in the negotiations which i presume means in conversations with Michael Cohen, right . How damning is that . Well, i think you have to look at The Other Side, right. Why did The Other Side go into this agreement and theyre of course the prosecution is going to say they went into it to save the fact of this election if it got out everything was going to fall apart. Of course, The Other Side is saying, no, we doing it because the defense is saying because we wanted protect my wife. And so having you read it to look at The Other Side in the negotiations that were taking place in their mindset, the defenses side, and thats really what is important. What davidson thought or didnt think is totally irrelevant and jeremy, are you having been in the room at different times . We all know theres kind of positions that he takes. Theres the lean back, but your head back, legs forward . Theres the straight up, theres lean into the tv screen. There are several. Okay. So today what how would you comparatively trumps level of engagement and involvement . I think during the davidson cross, he was very engaged. I think one of the more times we seen him most engaged, perhaps that when he had round in, youve got think he was also engaged itd be the first day during the gag order hearing. He he that happened this morning and he was he was zoomed out like he is i think its clearly a strategy and well see how long again that he is able to follow it. But when theres testimony, he doesnt like his best strategy here is just to ignore it and to sit back and zoom out and try to zoom out. But it is a long time that hes going to have to maintain this composure, right . Terribly. I mean, were going to go six to eight weeks and were just now getting started, particularly when we get to Michael Cohen. I think that is going to be a very long direct and a very long cross examination. And there will be sparks flying in that courtroom for sure between those two. All right. Thank you all very much. And next Breaking News, we are us getting some of the actual evidence that was shown in court today into cnn, including important photos and Text Messages as questions grow over.

Free. Thats f use the 231231 this is cnn the worlds news all right, Breaking News, we have just obtained some of the key evidence shown in court today during Donald Trumps Hush Money Trial, including this photo of Michael Cohen standing in the White House Press Briefing Room on february 8, 2017. And we also have a trove of Text Messages that coincident, including a batch of backandforth with the person you see on your screen there, former trump close aide, who picks now both of them are expected to be called to testify in this case. The first texts between them was shown on november 4, 20 16. Thats four days before the election. Cohen says to hicks, call me other texts, admitted evidence also appear to show cohen and hicks repeatedly discussing the Stormy Daniels allegations out front. Now, amoroso manahel neumann, a former Senior Adviser to donald trump, also worked with Michael Cohen. And of course new trump because she was a contestant on the first season of the apprentice this is the author of unhinged an insiders account of the trump white house, where of course you spent a plenty of time, amara, so so okay. So i think it took the picture you just you took that picture. I really think that i took that picture because i scored it. Michael, when he came for a visit in February Of 2017 and took him im around his daughter was my intern in the white house, samantha, shes wonderful, but yeah, i think i took that picture. Okay. Thats fine. There you go. And you stop being emitted for evidence. Okay. So when these backandforth conversations between Text Conversations between hope hicks and Michael Cohen. Theyre talking about Stormy Daniels allegations i hope picks obviously it was press secretary. She was Communications Director for the campaign. Yeah. I remember interviewing him once and its literally at that point, it was him and hope. Yeah. I mean, she was inner circle as inner circle gaps because there was only like 14 of us at the beginning. It was very small. So then she goes on to become the white house communicated patients director. But the texts that we know of show discussing the allegations do you think or how much to think kopecks may know about what was done about the allegations, the hush money payment. Well, theres no question that she knew every single aspect of it. In fact, it was her job to know and it was also her job to manage it and then manage the messaging around it. So it was really surprised when she initially asserted that she knew nothing about it. But now all of the information thats coming out and the evidence shows that she knew more than she admitted. And we do expect her to be called to testify, so were going to find out and im sure well see a lot more of those messages Kellyanne Conway could also be a potential witness on this. Now, she was Trumps Campaign manager at the time. She has denied having any knowledge about the payment to Stormy Daniels. Of course, we will see when shes on the stand what she would say but paula reid are reporter whos been covering the so extensively. She said the testimony with kellyanne could focus really in on Access Hollywood tape, sort of the omg moment that it created. The feeling of, okay, were, were done unless we do something dramatic. What would you expect to hear from her well, i remember the release of that tape because we were on a Bus Tour Women For Trump bus tour. I think we were in how appropriate how random boss tour . And kellyanne actually dispatched us to those battleground states. And we all have to get on a call right before the release. And there was it was the biggest bombshell of the campaign. We thought that that was the end. Kellyanne was central to all of those conversations and probably the urgency having to handle the Stormy Daniels situation really stemmed from that Access Hollywood released in those moments, amara. So when we tried to understand what, what role trump played in this case, whether he directed that payment and the falsification of Business Documents what was his reaction and what did he what did he say in that contemporaneously in that moment about Stormy Daniels are about needing to do something about it. Donalds, his directive is always you guys just fix it. Dont tell me how you do it. Just fix it, which is why Michael Cohen was so key in his relationship with trump in the Trump Organization . For us on the call, hes like you guys handle it. Once its all taken care of, just come back to me. I didnt want to know the nuances, but he is also really down to the minutia of everything. If youve ever been to trump tower, donald trump knows whos working concession in the lobby, you know, we absolutely does reselling links that will stand out for so that day . Yes. So youre not going to get the American Public to believe now that you were not intimately involved with things that were happening in your organization in an out day, in and out for at least a month and a half. Its just not believable. It so let me let me ask you this. Do you though, when you say that the attitude on the call from trump was sort of okay, you guys take care of this and then get back to me is the door open for you to him knowing full well, that whatever cohen was doing mightve been quite unsavory, but not actually knowing what it was himself. Is it possible is not about how donald trump operates. So if it came to a payment to a Stormy Daniels, he knew he knew he directed i absolutely believe Michael Cohen because he fixed so many other situations in the 17 years that i was part of that working in that organization. Right. Michael was the fixer. Its not just saying he actually did the things. I know people play down his role as an attorney, but he was actually really, really good at managing legal situations for donald extinguishing sticky situations, not just with Stormy Daniels, but so many that im surprised hes not shared with the American Public because he has so many things that he had to deal with that i personally know and i think donald knows that michael hasnt even know so many skeletons enmity now, he has not shared, he has not shared everything that he knows donald knows that michael knows that. I know that. All right. Im marissa. Thank you very much. Yeah. Good to see you. Good to see you and to see you in person . Yes. Next and Outfront Investigation, Qiang Law Got kicked out of an event that trumps allies dont want you to even know exists an event that offers important clues about what trump second term would look like oh, no, one.

Hat i p before go to harrys. Com slash shave to claim your 7 trial. Im Fred Pleitgen In Tech Wrong and this is cnn tonight something republicans dont want you to see they even through our reporter off the property for trying to bring this next story to you. Were talking about the gops embrace, hungarys authoritarian Prime Minister viktor orban and a new cnn investigation showing how trump and republicans who support him in this party are strengthening ties with a strongman ruler. Hes known for cracking down on gay rights, immigrants, and the press. Trump allies even held a wellknown annual conservative conference, Cpac See Back In Budapest This Is Trump is again, not committing to accept the results of the 2024 election, saying quote, if everythings honest, ill gladly accept the results. If its not, you have to fight for the right of the country ken laws and hungry with a report that you will see first here out front enter width me into the rightwings utopia where the slogans are american. And unapologetic this is americas conservative Political Action conference. Cpac, but exported to budapest, hungary, a country led by authoritarian Prime Minister viktor orban, hsl since 2010, or ban has crushed descent politically and socially consolidating power around his office, severely restricting immigration. Hes taken control of the judiciary in major media and limited rights, especially for gay people this is the leader held up by cpac as a conservative hero in a war against the left and praise by another charismatic leader who shared a greeting via video. Honore to address so many patriots and hungry who are proudly fighting on the frontlines of the battle to rescue western civilization. Familiar trump, allies joined in. You guys are an inspiration to the world from video messages. Thank you for standing strong. Two, appearing in person saying hungry should be a roadmap for a trump. Second term, home hes Immigration Policies just serve as a model to the United States. And that confirms that i am in good company here in hungary hungary has become one of the most successful models as leader for conservative principles and governance in europe. Not that they want outsiders to see any of this firsthand everything has a mesh around it, mesh fencing we got an email back from cpac when we applied for credentials and it said that were getting denied access because cpac is no woke zone that was a standard response and to most independent media, we got tossed out oh, no one oh, heres goes back inside. Four ban is clear about who he supports and the us election. Me, America Great again make europe great again, hoyer addon are from why did the Prime Minister, your Prime Minister, invoke the name of donald trump and use the words, make America Great again, because we would like to see greater america. We are, we are good friends of america. And do we want us hunger relationship to be improved . Yes, obviously we do. Do we have a better chance for that with President Trump in office or democrats nefise, of course, we have a better chance smith, President Trump in office. Hungarys Foreign Minister agree to a short interview with cnn telling us or ban and trumps share much of the same vision including like governments should be run by strong men. How is that a democracy . Its really annoying to me that theres no common understanding in the world now about what democracy means, we are a truly rightwing party. Its truly rightwing political movement. With the approach that the Prime Minister represents and the approach represented by President Trump are very similar to each other. Hosting cpac isnt the beginning of the relationship between hungry and the us, right wing. We reviewed disclosures with the Department Of Justice and found that since 2010, when or ban came into power his government has paid us lobbyists, at least 4. 5 the goal to build ties with the American Conservative Movement when american conservatives look to hungry, they see a Prime Minister and a government that actually delivered on the slogans that they, that they promised an open door by hungry for american conservatives lead blood and pappy in here. He leads a think tank attached to orbans office, a trump supporter who would like to us to be more like hungry when trump came into office in 2017, it was a very rude awakening. He realized the importance of having a strong team of people who are aligned and willing to carry out the same mission Prime Minister orban has built that and hungary. And so i think thats the mentality that trump is bringing into the 2024 campaign. Payne the relationship between the two men is close. The former President Heaping Praise on or bond during a recent visit to maralago a great job noncontroversial figure because he said this is the way its going to be in this. He had done martin ghoul is a leftleaning political commentator. Hes a host of partisan, a popular Youtube Channel and hungry, and says critics of or ban had been taken mostly off the air. Most of the channels are financially, economically tied to the government. So would you say . Hey, that the Media Landscape is uncontrolled by oman a large part of the Media Landscape is controlled by orban or a impacted by orban if you want to do independent free, and trust 30 journalism, you have to go to the online sphere because that, kind of a freedom doesnt exist on cable . This is an autocratic state by definition, Juliana Celina was once or bonds political ally, but witness or bonds rightwing shift. She has warning about whats happened to her country, being glorified by trump world basically all this taste institutions, including the president everyone is orbans nominee so he has a very big institutional control or money selling his model as a sample for radical rights all around in the Western World at cpac hungary, the Conservative Movement claims victory in an election year, us republicans attending are hoping to find the same success back home. But your capital in your government are more conservative at the mine in america. But were looking to change that this rightwing gathering here in hungary is happening at a critical time for democracy around the world are happening right now in india, in june, european parliamentary elections will be taking place and in november of course, the us elections were conservatives around the world are cheering on a donald trump victory. Aaron, all right, kang, thank you very much. In hungary chilling an important investigation that chung did tonight. Lets go beyond the numbers with harry enten so harry chungs reporting, theres also just as fast its nation in the United States with or ban, especially among those who support trump. But she mentioned his visit to maralago recently. Yes. You can use that as a barometer for what yeah. If you take a look at the google searches for viktor orban in the United States since his meeting with trump just a few months ago, you see compared to the same period last year, look at that google searches up 195 . And what i will note about that 195 three times, yeah, yeah, very high compared to last year. And those that weve been seeing over the last few years in terms of searches for viktor orban, were already at their alltime high. Remember, he rejoined r3, became Prime Minister back in 2010. Basically, no one in the united it states had been searching him for him from 2010 to 2020. It was only when he visited cpac back in 2022, the first time around that people actually started searching for him. And now were already reaching highs when we were already at the highest level previously, right . So surge off of an already high and brackley, right. All right. So the context here, of course, is the the rising power or the rising curiosity with authoritarian leaders, right . And obviously in the gop that includes putin for some Marjorie Taylor greene can bokeh hurt her former colleague, Color Moscow Marjorie because of how she is parotid Talking Points from putin as she celebrated on russian tv and she he has a make ukraine great hat again now, i mean, theres a word echo between what she said and what we hear on russian state television. What do the numbers say about more broadly though, about republican voter support for putin . Yeah, i mean, the majority of voters on the republican side are not for putin, but theres a substantial minority that is there was a recent poll question that essentially s is a good thing that putin was reelected in russia. And what we see there is 22 of republicans say, yes, it was a good thing compared to just 2 of democrats are talking more than a fifth of the Republican Base here. And the favorable ratings for putin among republicans, although theyre low, they have doubled pulled over the last year from 7 in 2023 to now, 14 in 2024. So again, its just a minority of republicans, but its a very vocal minority and a growing one. All right, so in that context, trump, who told sean hannity famously he wouldnt be a dictator except for de one, yeah, and even though sean had given him every out, he could give him, he still said that time magazine. The order was on here the other day he had done this great interview with trump and he he told to trump told him that he thinks a lot of americans, like a dictator. Yeah, certainly a lot of republicans do. If you ask them whether or not they would like trump to be a dictator for a day, three of republicans said they were okay with that its a good thing compared to just 26 whod be a bad thing. So trump is right, at least among the Republican Base, aaron is incredible. I wonder if they now, i mean the numbers are the numbers aaron, right . Right. You know, we report the numbers thats what i do and thats what the American People believe. Yeah, its incredible. All right. Thank you very much, harry. Thank you.

The former president and the play meet trumps alleged affair with former playboy model Karen Mcdougal is a key piece of his Hush Money Trial. And just one part of trumps decades long fixation with playboy, in the image, he worked so hard to cultivate. Now may come back to bite him. Jason carroll is out front she is one of the key figures in Donald Trumps criminal trial. Karen mcdougal, the former playboy model who in 2018 interview, described what happened after the first time she and trump were intimate and he actually tried to hand you money. He did. Well, but i looked at him and i said, thats not me. Im not that kind of girl. What followed she says was a ten month affair with trump in 2006. The year after he married his wife, melania. That same year in 2006, this photo showing mcdougal trump, melania and his his daughter, ivanka, at a playboy function. Prosecutors argue that acquiror bought mcdougals story for 150,000 as part of a catch and kill effort to protect then president ial candidate trump, who has denied the affair it was thought at the time that an affair, let alone one with a playmate, would not have gone over well with conservative christians who he was actively courting . I have great relationship with god. I have great relationship with the evangelicals. It could be said over the years, trump has also had a great relationship with playboy. It was one of the few men and the history of playboy to be on the cover. So i dont know if that was president ial candidate trump in 2016 giving a tour of his office at trump tower showing some of his the proudest accomplishments to a Washington Post reporter prominently displayed at the time a framed march 1990 Playboy Magazine cover featuring him and a Playboy Playmate wearing a tuxedo jacket and little else. I got myself in trouble with the Playboy Interview in that 1990 cover story, trump said this, i dont want to be president. Im 100 sure. I changed my mind only if i saw this country continue to go down the tubes, pictures, going back to the early 90s showed trump partying with playmates on numerous occasions. This Playboy Video from 1994, uncovered by cnn shows trump voters photographing Playboy Models and interviewing potential playmates. The scene showing trump do not to peg to any unclothed models, although there are scenes which we cannot show that in 2000, he briefly appeared and another Playboy Video celebrating with models pouring champagne on ulama and in 2001 at a playboy event, cnns jeanne moos, as trump. Have you ever dated a plain me . I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it may be true, maybe true, then was this reaction in 2006. Thats when trump took contestants from the apprentice to the Playboy Mansion, and he spotted a woman in a bunny suit, Come On Over Wow so hugh hefner clearly, somebody who thought enough of trump over the years he use with playboy for years and, you know amoroso was saying, gosh, they had that the opening for an apprentice at the Playboy Mansion, she was just just sharing. I mean, they shot an episode of the apprentice at the Playboy Mansion back in 2000 six. And hugh hefner was a guest on that particular episode. So yes, but clearly there was a Change Of Heart because just before hefners hefners debt hefners son said that his father had a change apart, basically saying that after that 1990 cover story came out and Playboy Magazine years later, he said it just really
