American history tomorrow, opening arguments are set to begin in the first where he is facing dozens of charges related to film actress Stormy Daniels. Tonight, trump is lashing out at the judge, again, calling for the gag order to be removed. Ahead of a hearing on tuesday. Prosecutor said last week that trump had already violated that order seven times already. Lets get straight to cnns Marshall Cohen and joins me here on set. So marshall, tomorrow is going to be unprecedented in so many ways. What are you going to be looking out for . Well, i am not looking to see the judge take that gag quarter away. Right. We all know thats not going to happen. Thats just trump lashing out. He is allowed to attack the judge. He is allowed to attack the da, but he is not permitted to talk about the other prosecutors, the staff at the court. And importantly, the Family Members of the judge. So he is toeing the line. Theyre going against the judge saying playing playing within the rules and limitation
this on the floor we ll see if that occurs again it it speaks to just how low the republican congressional leadership has gone in terms of losing control of their own caucus.& if democrats do have to come to his, to his aide, i don t think it s going to be for free. i think it s gonna be for some kind of power-sharing or something that again, will benefit the country because democrats are always going to do what s in the best interests of america. i think it s important, hats off again to speaker johnson for showing true leadership in the face of potential ouster by the vocal minority in the house. i think this is an opportunity for americans to sit back and say, thank goodness, congress worked on a bipartisan fashion. we sent a strong message to russia to china, to iran, the proxies in any of these other nations that are want to put a threat to democracy. and i think everyone should call their member of congress that voted for this and tell them, thank you. we live a couple of momen
claims that something bad happened and of course he pp didn t. he s notf a party man. never a party man. remember, he switched parties five or six times over the he years. he has no loyalty to the republicanya party. he demands loyalty from the republican party. it doesn t matter that there s a special electionat coming up in georgia. he wants i to change the conversation to his own race and what happens next. i think it s worth noting, peter, as we talk about trump s potential ouster from the republican party whichst may no come tore pass, right, the reas they re not evenhe debating thi has nothing to do with principle but winning. trump did not single-handedly inject the strains of imtolerance, racism, nativism, belligerence, and a durable sympathy for anti-democratic behavior into the republican
who would be the majority, it would definitely come back on former president trump. remember, he did this two years ago, when he basically punted, as far as a lot of republicans are concerned, to special races, that gave control from republicans to democrats. he could not care less. what he cared about was his own grievance, his own racing claims, that something bad happened, when it did not. he is not a party man, he was never a party man. he is not great loyalty to the republican party. he did not have loyalty to the republican party. it does not matter that special action comes up in georgia. he wants to change the subject, to his own case, own race, and what happens next. i think it s worth noting, peter, as we talk or as republicans talk about trump s potential ouster for the party, which may not come to pass, the reason they re even debating this has nothing to do with principle and everything to do with political expediency. this is about winning. jelani cobb in the new yorker
vigor, come out swinging and deny these allegations permanently. let me ask you quickly about rod rosenstein. noel francisco would take over next. would impact could rosenstein s potential ouster on thursday at on the mueller investigation? it s an open question whether or not trump can install any senate confirmed person or any person above a certain pay grade at the doj. rosenstein could refuse to resign, insist on being fired and in doing so thwart trump s attempt to install someone of trump s choice. instead, possibly the courts would require the doj establish succession order to come into play. so it depends who will take rosenstein s place. and rosenstein, believe it or not, has some modicum of power
