President trump is nearing a conclusion. the prosecution s star witness, trump s former lawyer and chief fixer, michael cohen, testifying for three hours today before a manhattan grand jury. is this a triumphant day? i wouldn t call it that. hearing evidence about trump s hush payment to porn actress stormy daniels. cohen wrote the $130,000 check a month before the 2016 election and says the money violated campaign finance laws. this is all about accountability. he needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds. reporter: but on gma, his attorney insisting trump paid off the porn actress purely to protect his family. he made this with personal funds to prevent something coming out false but embarrassing to himself, his family, his young son. reporter: prosecutors are considering whether trump falsified business records by disguising the hush money as a routine legal expense. trump is in iowa, his first time there since announcing he s
Do. but here s the difference others would have done that are in prison or facing long terms in prison, but no charges have ever been filed against rafe sct despite the fact there s no question did it because once more it s on tape. that s s very strange. iter just is . and we don t care how people call us . thanks for pointing that out. it is strangeit a a and we d lin answer to what the heck a is going on now. we ve asked on this show repeatedly to explain why he thinks he has escaped prosecution. ep and we ll ask him once again and we will keep asking because we think this is very obvious o and important question that gets to the heart of what xa is this exactly? ct but it s amazing how little democrats want too hear about this. again, nancy pelosi, liz, spento the last year staging an investigation at great expensen and in a series of public show trials arresting people in their homes supposedly designed to discover how and why january six happened. but they remain curiously uni
