that applied for that job. but has anyone seen wolf blitzer lately? thank you so much for joininjoining us. tonight abby philip and d cnn news n night starts riright now. donald trump s testimony may need a disclaimer. that s tonight, on news night. good evening, i m abby philip, and today a trademark trump performance inside a new york state courtroom. it was trademark for all the reasons you would expect, loud, libelous, unrepentant, uncontrolled, dominated by conduct that frankly would never be permissible for any other defendant, civil or criminal. after four hours of testimony, the former president thought that everything was just perfect. i think it went very well, and case that should have never been brought. it s a case that should be dismissed immediately. the fraud was on behalf of the court. with his bombastic behavior on the stand, trump tried making a mockery of the legal system. but there is more that he s reportedly planning to undermine if he g
hi, everyone. it s 4:00 in new york. it is raining news. we start with trump on the stand. it was short on substance, short on decourt um, and very short on truth. yet overflowing with deflection and grgrievance. donald trump s testimony in the $250 million civil fraud lawsuit in new york, though historic, felt familiar in some ways. except for one key difference. the arena. it was not a fox news sit-down or a meandering political speech, but donald trump sat down in a courtroom. and in courtrooms, facts and the rule of law still matter. they reign supreme. in that domain today, trump was repeatedly admonished by the man who will determine the fate of his business empire and brand and the future of the size of his family s wealth. time and time again the judge has used his authority as a judge to interrupt donald trump s everyone is out to get me, to run out the clock on testimony that was limit 20d a single day. that was today. the question was andet me ask again, became fam
all thanks for joining me today. i m alison camp maratha. i ll see you back here tomorrow. and newsroom with jessica dean starts right now. you re, in the. cnn newsroom. hi, everyone. i m jessica lean in washington and we begin today with former president and now convicted felon donald trump boasting a surgeon campaign donations following the verdict in his historic hush money criminal trial the trump campaign says it is raised nearly 53 million since he was found guilty by a manhattan jury of falsifying business records in order to influence the 2016 election. the judge has set trump s sentencing date for july 11. that s just days before the republican national convention, where trump is expected to be time tapped as the party s nominee trump, of course, planning to appeal and yesterday he gave a glimpse of how we intends to forge ahead with his campaign falsely calling the trial rigged and claiming political persecution this is a case where if they can do this to me, they
donald trump poses to black america if he s reelected. i m joe biden and i approve this message. of course i hate these es people. donald trump disrespecting black folk is nothing new. he inwas sued refusing to rent his apartments to black families and called for the execution of five innocent black and brown teenagers. it s why trump stood with violent white supremacists. warned of a blood bath in the next election and if he s president again vowed to be a dictator who wants revenge on his enemies. now who do you think? that ad first of all is accurate. i was involved in fighting him on housing discrimination and the central park five. they re not stretching the truth. that is his record. and you must remember that in all of the racial issues we ve had in new york from howard beach in the 80s where black kid was killed just for being in a white neighborhood till now, the only race sensitive case donald trump ever stood up on was to say that five black and brown young
