jake tapper starts right now 30 before counts of falsifying records. >> 12 jurors, three notes to the judge, 11 hours down. the lead starts right down the drop. hush mon fate of the first ever us president to face a criminal trial of former juror from a different high-profile cases here to break down what's actually going on behind that door. plus boeing rolls out as sweeping new plan hoping to convince skeptical flyers that it is safe to travel on their planes, but it's not just a matter of boeing planes that has so many flyers nervous we're learning today about another near miss on the runway in a moment before takeoff, what is really going on at airports and in the skies and cnn's exclusive reporting on the dramatic negotiations between the us government and haitian gang leaders in the us government's attempt to retrieve the bodies of two american missionaries killed by a gang last week welcome to the lead. i'm jake tapper. welcome to donald trump. verdict. watch de to the jury in the former president's unprecedented criminal hush money trial has now been debating his fate for more than 11 hours 11 hours, and seven minutes. as you see their trump and his team are passing the time by rolling in a television to watch news coverage of the trial. hi, mr. president this morning, he looked on as the cord fulfilled seven requests that the jury made this morning and late yesterday. they got a refresher on their instructions from the judge and they got to rehear for specific parts of the trial, including testimony from both tabloid magnate david pecker and former trump lawyer and fixer michael cohen, about a key 2000 15 meeting at trump tower. let's begin with cnn's paula reid, who is outside the manhattan courthouse apollo. what do we know about the state of deliberations right now we don't nothing, jake, we know absolutely nothing. >> the jury has been in there for five hours and we haven't heard a peak. we have colleagues who are inside the courtroom right now along with members of the public just waiting for that buzzer to go off. that's when we know that the jury has something to say and take. they could say anything they could ask for equipment like they did earlier today. they asked her headphones, they could ask a logistic so-called question. they could even ask us something again about the instructions, or they could have a verdict. but jake, we have heard nothing from the jury and we are nearing the end of the usual business day here at court yesterday, the judge has raised the possibility that they would stay late today. maybe it's late at 6:00 even later. but at this point, it's unclear how late they're going to go paula, the jury has now heard back, read to them, re-read to them multiple parts of the testimony. >> tell us more exactly about what these four excerpts were yes. >> was interesting. they wanted to hear three specific pieces of testimony from david pecker number he is corps the former head of the national enquirer. he was also the first winning is that they heard from now they wanted to hear from him about a call he had with trump about some details he testified to about the deal that was reached with karen mcdougal, then they also wanted to hear his version of the trump tower meeting. they also asked from michael cohen's version of events and what transpired in the trump tower meeting. >> now this is significant, jake, because prosecutors allege that 25th the 15 trump tower meeting where they all talked about how the national enquirer could help trump win the white house prosecutors alleged that was the first step in the conspiracy to help trump win the white house in 2016, that ultimately resulted in this effort. >> to cover up the hush money that was paid to stormy daniels. now the jury also asked to hear portions of the instructions, but they'd received earlier yesterday and it was really interesting. they only asked you to rehear the instructions for count one. in addition, in addition to some other things, they only wanted to hear the instructions for count one so if you take together the fact that they wanted to hear about the trump tower meeting way back in 2015, really, the first step in an alleged conspiracy and count one, that's suggests that they could be approaching this incredible task in a linear chronological fashion. but at this point, look, we, we really don't know what is happening inside that deliberation room, but we are watching and we are waiting for that buzzer to hear whatever it is the jury has to say. >> all right. paulo will come back to you when the jury hits that buzbee. thanks so much are panels here to discuss and something to note. every one of the jury's first four requests yesterday was for testimony that the prosecutor, josh steinglass, highlighted in his closing arguments on tuesday. let's go through each one of these to discuss the significance but first i want to ask you, jamie can go, what does it tell you that the jury appears to be taking heat of multiple things that the prosecutor outlined is important. >> i have no idea. >> no idea. we don't apologize. said. right. >> we don't know anything. i will agree with with with paula. i do think big picture it says they're taking it seriously and they're going into depth whether it's for one sides benefit or the other. we don't know whether the jury took a poll and there's a mixed feeling about this. we don't know it. >> it could be anything, but they're taking it seriously. >> let's go to stacey schneider stacy, the jury's first request was for a transcript of tabloid king david david pecker's testimony about a phone conversation he had with trump about karen mcdougal. karen mcdougal that 1998 play made to the plate playmate of the year, who alleged that she had a ten to 11 months relationship, romantic relationship with donald trump here is what prosecutor steinglass said about that on tuesday, quote. now with all of the evidence and documents in this case, it's easy to lose significance of the loose sight of the significance of this phone call this call makes it impossible for the defense to claim the cohen was acting on his own, that he was taking it upon himself to work with ami the tabloid a company to purchase the karen mcdougal story. this call proves that not only did the defendant know about it but he actively participated. this is powerful evidence of the defendant's involvement wholly apart from cohen stacey, what you think? >> yeah, it's really important that the prosecution shows what donald trump's intense and motive was surrounding this alleged scheme or now it's been laid out to the jury as a conspiracy. now, when you don't have a defendant testifying like donald trump, who did not take the stand. the jury can infer what a person since motive and intent was from other evidence, circumstantial evidence conversations that get into the record about that trump had with people along the course of this. now there are lots of conversations that michael cohen testified about that he had with donald trump but as we all know and we've been talking about for weeks and weeks michael cohen has credibility issues and the jury has to decide whether they believe parts of his testimony or none e all know and we've been talking about for weeks and weeks michael cohen has credibility issues and the jury has to decide whether they believe parts of his testimony or none trump from the trump organization or the campaign that this was actually a conspiracy, alleged conspiracy right now that benefited donald trump and the campaign. >> ankush second request from the jury was for an excerpt of the transcript of the pecker testimony. again, regarding the decision to not purchase the life rights of karen mcdougal story. here's what josh steinglass had to say to the jury on tuesday about that quote. so when ami the tablet company spent $150,000 there are $125,000 to purchase the karen mcdougal life rights. >> it made a campaign contribution and david pecker or the ceo of the tablet company, told you exactly that and as he told you, his principal purpose in entering into the nda, the nondisclosure agreement with karen mcdougal was to suppress her story so as to prevent it from influencing the election. >> let me ask you a broader question here that applies to this excerpt. and the excerpt we were just discussing with stacy, both of these about karen mcdougal yeah. >> he's not on trial for anything having to do with karen mcdougal. >> he's on trial for things having to do with someone else, stormy daniels? yes so before i answer, let me just say i also don't know what we don't know if nobody knows noting as has been sight of course the prosecutor is presented the story involving karen mcdougal is sort of part of the start of a pattern of activity related to this sort of conspiracy surrounded the 2016 election. >> and i guess i would just to play devil's advocate to go on the other side. and virus skeptic of the government's case one of the things that i think todd blanche trump's lawyers did relatively effectively in his closing argument, which otherwise i thought was not so great was to question the scope of the conspiracy, the alleged catch and kill conspiracy, who was really involved? what was the substance of the agreement was the scope of the agreement temporally? was it just for mcdougal? was it for the entirety of the election? did pecker and cohen's testimony line up to the extent that they were in certain conversations together i mean, if you were a skeptic of the government's case, these are similar questions you would be asking, which is looking at what was really happening, what was their agreement, what was their objective, and how far did it extend? >> elie, do you want to you want to try to the other side, the angels are the gods advocate, not the devil's advocate want, like, let's say, i'm a skeptical juror, right? i'm like, great, you've proven a case that they're not trying to prove. they're not trying to prosecute a case about karen mcdougal. so who cares because karen mcdougal leads directly to stormy daniel's end away. the defendant, i would argue with the way donald trump interacted with michael cohen and david pecker in the karen mcdougal case? not identical to what they did with stormy daniels, but it sets the key parts in place and to jamie's point with the first excerpt we saw, you see this again later. this shows that donald trump deputize michael cohen. he said to david pecker, this is the guy you're gonna be dealing with. on these kind of things. it happened to mcdougal and you see it happen again in daniel. so it's necessary background, sort of a ramp leading to the crime here. >> so the jury's third and fourth requests both had to do with this to trump tower meeting in august 2015, where donald trump, david pecker michael cohen, all are on tuesday, steinglass told the jury, as mr. pecker explained, the meeting began with donald trump and michael cohen asking what pecker could do to help the campaign. and you have write his testimony, read back any part of it, all of it, his description of the meeting he gave you a lot more detail about this meeting that michael cohen did it actually, during this trump tower meeting, they settle on three the key components of the meeting. so jury requests three and four are three is david pecker's version of the meeting. four is michael cohen's version of the meeting. and steinglass said, and i'll go to stacy is one steinglass said something along the lines. have you have to look at this entire three entire conspiracy in the prosecution's view through the lens of the august 2015 trump tower meeting yeah, the august 15th trump tower meeting really started the action allegedly, the prosecution's case says of aiding and abetting the camp i'm paying because remember this whole trial in the beginning, everyone was questioning, well, catch and kill, isn't necessarily illegal. >> celebrities have been doing it for a long time. they, by and barry information, if you can afford it, you can bury it the difference is in this case is that trump was no longer just a celebrity at the time. he was now a candidate running for office. and he was there subject to specific laws. one of the laws that didn't get a lot of play until the very end during the jury instructions but there's a new york state election law that says when two or more people conspire to promote a candidate to office by unlawful means. that is a crime that really is a crime that i think the prosecution did prove up in their case about why michael cohen had had his fees run through the trump organization business and ties directly back to the the 34 count indictment for falsifying business records. so all of these things are this is such a complicated legal case because there are areas of law as to what the other crime is that was allegedly concealed in the business records. so all of these things are important and the prosecution, i think the jury, by asking for these extra instructions that we've been talking about. i think it's benefiting the prosecution's case as i see it right now. >> all right. thanks to one and on our panel, trouble in the skies and other close call on a runway and boeing's new ceo outlines how he wants to get back on course. plus, what is the jury? free-thinking a woman who was in the room for another high profile new york case explains how a verdict is reached. stay with us anderson cooper 360

judge, juan were sean will dismiss the jury on time today at 4:30. what time is added cyst in a few minutes right before that announcement, trump walked back into court and he made a quick comment to the cameras. i want to campaign says the presumptive republican presidential nominee and a reminder, the judge is not allowing him to. the judge says he has to remain in the courthouse while the jury is deliberating for a take on what the jurists could be thinking right now with me right now, amanda brainard, she knows what it's like to serve on a high-profile new york city jury. she was a juror and harvey weinstein's 2020 case where weinstein was found guilty of criminal sexual assault and third-degree rape, jostle recently wrote about her experience on that jury for us news. amanda, thanks so much for joining us, obviously, we have no idea what's going on behind closed doors. but in almost 12 hours, jurors have come back with three notes, making seven requests of the judge. >> what does that tell you based on your experience on a high-profile jury? it strikes me, is completely normal. >> they have a lot of information to parse through, a lot of instructions and it's confusing we came back several times asking for what as they did further instructions on the letter of the law from the judge and then later to hear testimony read to us again in one case we had really. >> had to be sort of forensic in our investigation of certain parts of the evidence and piece together a puzzle that put together the story of one of the accusing witnesses and it wasn't presented to us. in a clear and straightforward manner, and it was only through long under trying to understand those pieces of evidence and listening to the testimony read again, that we were able to understand it and find what we were looking for. >> so the jury, you are part of the harvey weinstein case you heard six weeks of time testimony. you took six days to come to a verdict. >> what were you doing during those six days help us understand what goes on in a separate bring. >> i know you're suffering. >> there were suffering, but i mean, did you did you come in and do a preliminary vote? >> what were you doing during six days where there were holdouts, don't tell us tell us what now as i've mentioned, as i've mentioned, it was the first de was pretty chaotic and we were much less on the same page than any of us. >> probably anticipated. and it was really upsetting, disheartening and i mentioned that one of the jurors said, why don't we just call a hungry three now. but one of the things that's so brilliant about our system when it works is that this jury has to be unanimous. and so did way and so despite the differences in the beginning, we had to come up with a system that was organized and systematic four gone through each of the counts so we appointed a single juror who was very common, even keeled, to run the proceedings, and we
