yes, it was a conversation, it was something that had been floated. but obviously, to read s point the decision has been made t do a speech at mile acho we don t know who is coverin the speech live. but we re glad to hear fro donald trump but he could ve gone to trump towers he didn t need permission from the court. no, that s right. he wanted on fifth avenue i want to scratch the surface on something you said. he may not find out abou what s in those charges unti 2:15 on tuesday. absolutely. in which case, it would b best to take a few hours perhaps, to sit there and say, a high, this may not be what w thought it was and to the weisselberg point, did not know this, katie, when the rev said it could ve bee weisselberg is that last witness, because weisselberg because he s incarcerate, it would go into the cour differently. you wouldn t actually see hi the way you might if you r sticking up the court, you kin of sense those of us who go into th court for the public, it wil
in the context of that conversation, it was about all the work that cy vance had don as the manhattan distric attorney around the trum organization finances. and we all remember well, many people remember well, you to the supreme court twice. he spent a lot of the time, lot of the resources of hi office, focused on the trump organization under his watch, allan weissenberg meant to jail. that was a lot of his work so i asked him about that. all of his reporting pointed t tuesday being about the hush money payments this is another area he spent lot of time on what he answered there i basically a question of whethe there of course of what his successo is doing, there could be another one, there could b another indictment on trum personally, on his finances an financial fraud. so yes, a cliff-hanger, it als means allen brag, we may hea from him again we will have to see. really quickly, before i really quickly and something
we are going to see this unsealed indictment in a coupl of days. and a thing that he says could be used against him in a court of law, assuming - , he takes the stand now, i sincerely doubt, no matter how bad a job s lawyers could do to prevent him from doing it, i think he s crazy like a fox sometimes, so, he won t take the stand but talk a little bit about ho this could create a huge bea trap for him, the more that he talks, more maybe he walks himself into gag order, the more that h talks, it could give mor criminal exposure. yeah, two federal prosecutors that brought the charges and convicted roge stone made the same argument everything trump is saying publicly now can be used against him. and we has a long history of not listening to his lawyers so, i agree with you if he s listen to advice, he won t take the stand this morning, bill barr said i a fox news interview that he did not think trump could take the stand, because he lacks th discipline to be an effectiv witness. but
