Were inside the courtroom today . Im sorry, inside the courtroom yesterday. And tracking donald trump behavior today, how did trump seem to be handling hearing this testimony from Stormy Daniels that had to have been quite embarrassing yeah. Today, he was as invested as weve seen him throughout the course of this trial yesterday, too long time Trump Organization employees testified to some potentially critical evidence. For the most part, trump has leaned back in his chair, eyes closed, but today, as for me, daniels was on the stand who is leaning it . He was watching hurt either directly or on his screen. Heres prompting his Defense Attorney to make objections. He was clearly actively involved in his defense, and jayyab think it paid off when they came back from lunch. I use clearly agitated as they left for the midday break, but when they came back, his lawyers move for mistrial they didnt win that, but the judge conceded that yeah, at times, some of the things Stormy Daniels said were outside the guardrails that he had set up and then it was also interesting to see this crossexamination by his lawyer, susan necklace. We really havent heard from during this trial. It was aggressive and at times devastating for Stormy Daniels. Now, again, she wont make or break their case, but this has been a very effective de from the defense and clearly there hi, i had a lot to say about what they should be doing. Drops attorneys are set to resume crossexamination of Stormy Daniels on thursday. Wednesday, i think the judge hears other cases at times today. Stormy daniels appeared really quite tense when facing questions from trumps defense team yeah, we knew this was going to be unpleasant. I mean, they got her to admit that, yes. She hates the defendant. She said that she would quote, dance if you went to jail she always have Hundreds Of Thousands of dollars as a result of other litigation and they pulled a tweet where she said she doesnt want to pay that quote, orange turd, a single dime. They also undercut her credibility, getting her to contradict herself. I mean, it really because i can uncomfortable crossexamination , i think for anyone in that courtroom, but most of all, Stormy Daniels, this is what we expected, but i think what everyone can take away from today hi again, Stormy Daniels is not going to make or break the prosecutions case. But Michael Cohen he will. And this is just a preview of what we can expect to see when he takes the stand every retweet, every podcast, every quote in his book, they are going to pull out and put in front of him to try to establish that he has some sort of motivation to undermine the defect ended, that theres some sort of event data. So thatll be, thatll be an incredible today. Today was just a preview. Thank you. Paul rhie appreciate it. Lets bring in the rest of my panel. Oh, karen friedman, nif. Shayna jacobs are with me today. Paul is still with us, of course, as well. Shannon you were in the courtroom today. What did you observe from donald trump during the testimony . Just, like Everyone Else in the courtroom. Donald trump was listening intently to every single word that was said. Every bit of testimony from Stormy Daniels, like Everyone Else, hes been waiting years to hear what she would say potentially under oath at a more under oath in a much more formal setting than shes ever told this story before and he was paying attention the entire time karan, there were lots of celina just quotes that stormy gave on the stand today. But a lot of it was not necessarily legally relevance. Karan, do you think prosecutors have to walk a tight rope here donald trump admitted that they had sex, but says this is just an extortion and a and thats all this was. Then i would agree that there were too many details that came out. But if youre calling her a liar and saying this never happened, i think the prosecution has a right to be able to try and prove that shes telling the truth and not say that this never happened because theyre really going hard on her by all accounts the crossexamination is quite intense and its all its very aggressive and very much calling her a liar. And so when she talks about things like i took the special Element Elevator up to the Pen House Floor and Keith Shilling was outstanding outside and i go in and the suite is bigger than any apartment ive ever lived in. And there was heavy furniture and he was wearing this and those types of details have the ring of truth. She said one point she went into the bathroom and look through his bathroom bag and he had pert an old spice and the gold Nail Clippers mean those are the details that gives someone gives a story of the ring of truth. And so that the jury can assess her credibility because her credibility is an issue on the stand and paul, this morning, mr. Trump hosted untruths social quote, i have just recently been told to the witnesses today, this is on precedent and no time for lawyers to prepare. No judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way. He is crooked and highly conflicted, even taking away my First Amendment rights. Now hes starting to me with jail and they have no case according to virtually all legal scholars and experts, why isnt the Fake News Media reporting his conflict i mean, we have reported many times on the fact that his daughter works in a Democratic Firm but mr. Trump deleted that post minutes later. Even though the reference to the witness was vague and not specifically critical. But do you think he might have deleted it because of the gag order . Yeah, absolutely. I mean, even a vague witness reference could potentially jeopardize his Defense Lawyers from getting the names of witnesses and. Also potentially land him in jail because the judge was clear that that is on the pile that possibility was on the table. And jake, i think the greatest legal risks that Stormy Daniels hows this to trump today and over the next few days, does she testifies is just making him melt down and violate this gag or to the fact that he hasnt lost it in front of the press pool that is notable. He has been better about following the gag order, even before he was fine. Thats 9,000. Conservative activists have said this. He shouldnt do this and that was really what prompted him to stop. He did not violate it today. I think even people close to him are telling me theyre a little bit surprised and theres still time should be back on the stand thursday this is a big task because clearly her appearances its getting under his skin, but she is one of the people protected by the gag order. Lets also bring in right now jim shultz, former Trump White House attorney gym at several times today. Trumps defense team kept objecting anytime the prosecution got close to suggesting that the encounter was not what Stormy Daniels wanted to happen, not that it was not consensual, but stormy at different points said, quote, there was an imbalance of power for sure between her and trump. She also noted that he didnt come at me. He didnt rush me. Nothing like that. Unquote but she did suggest that she regretted it, regretted saying yes felt she didnt have another option how important is it for that distinction to be made and why do you think that Defense Attorneys were so focused on objecting anytime she suggested anything like that . So the basically putting a marker and that theyre objecting to this testimony because its prejudicial, its probative value is outweighed by its prejudicial effect and this would be prejudicial testimony. Prejudicial to the jury, not relevant to the case itself, that this that the judge let the let this testimony go too far, that this could potentially color the jurys thoughts on the case, and which ultimately led to their motion for mistrial, which was denied by the judge. But i think that they were trying to get on record that theyre making these objections they didnt object to everything and i think that was part of strategy. You dont want to you dont want to pound on the table too much because then it brings brings attention to testimony that you that you might otherwise it might bring more attention to the testimony. So i think they picked and they were picking and choosing their spots and they pick that one in particular. All right. Thanks. One and ill lets bring in cnn political commentator, former Trump White HouseCommunications Director alyssa fair. Are griffin now . What do you think the reaction inside trump world is . Right now after todays dramatic testimony, i think its gonna be a mix of outrage that the former president had to sit there and listen to those salacious details. His wifes name coming up. This allegation that he said that she they did not share a bedroom but i also think that the defense did a pretty effective job today, and i want to say this. Im not an attorney. I know Republican Voters on no, the republican public. Im a bit stun that the Prosecution Liens so heavily into the salacious details about the sexual encounter, rather than talking about who Stormy Daniels is i interviewed her recently. Shes a mother. Shes been nearly bankrupted because of her former attorney now paying trumps legal bills, shes somebody who could be a very sympathetic figure who also could have credibility. And i think to really lean into that side of it, i dont know that thats going to play well with a this was something that took place in 2006 do is 27 years old. He was 60. That data point matters, but ive just got to say, i am not convinced this as The Rock Solid Case at the prosecutions thinks that they have and thinking of the political implications heading into the election, if donald trump gaetz, off in this case his voters are not going to trust further more important trials that come up like the january 6 investigation or the documents case, if those cases happened before the election i listed lets play a little bit of what mr. Trump said just moments ago, i want to get your reaction this was a very big day a very revealing a, as you see, there cases totally falling apart nothing on the books and records and even something that should bear very little relationship to the Case Disaster for the idea to the source back to disaster this is generally what weve heard from tromp many days after core. Do you think as lawyers have said, thats as far as you can go without violating the gag order, you go after Stormy Daniels. He didnt mention are once there, it was a good day for us. Take the win well, yes, i think that he actually thinks it is, i think has defense getting her to admit that she hates him, that she was interested in getting money. Those were winds that are going to resonate. But i think hes also very concerned about violating this gag order, potential jail time. But i also think hes working the system. We know that if theres one thing trump knows its media so, even by posting that statement to truth social and quickly taking it down, its still going to be on social media, on other outlets. Its still going to appear in the news media and people are going to see the message he was trying to convey to me. The judge is probably going to have to get more explicit and cracking down on things because he knew what he was doing by putting it out there and then removing it. Its still got into the public eye. Just to be clear though, you found her testimony credible i mean, i have no doubt they encounter took place, i think to karen eq difficult as point she made a very compelling case about the specificity of the incident. Its the later details about saying she hates him, the statements shed made against him. I dont know that thats where i would have gone i spoke to her wants and she didnt rule out voting for him again, thats actually more of how i would have wanted to frame her. This is somebody whos a republicans since 2010. Shes not a trump pater, but this the facts of this case stand. This happened this is how she was mistreated and that way its more of a Strategy Issue that i have an issue with. 11. Fair griffin, always good to see you. Thanks.
