His former aide hope hicks returned to the witness stand. Welcome back to our two of America Reports im john roberts in washington a big friday. Sandra yeah sending lots of news i am sandra smith, hicks is the prosecutions ninths witness and of the former president s closest aides and was Press Secretary during the campaign. Reporting that she was visibly nervous and even said to so when she began the testimony. And set it out loud at o one point. John the Prosecution Question Hicks about david pecker and peppered with stories that were published in the final days of the campaign. Nate foy is live outside the New York State Supreme Court what can we expect when court gets underway in a few minutes . John, Hicks Testimony Is said to go on under examination but t donald trump posted on true social saying a lot of that presented today have nothing to do in his opinion with the actual case that has to do with his recording of the expenses and the payout to Stormy Daniels but regarding hits testimony that is said to be resuming in court at 2 15 p. M. Now prosecutor Michael Angelo asked her as you mentioned about her learning of the Karen Mcdougal story and the release of the access Hollywood Tape. Hicks testified she tried blocking the publication of an article detailing how American Media purchased the Mcdougall Story but did not publish it. Hicks testified she remembered seeing pecker at trump tower prior to the 2016 election but she did not recall participating in a meeting. Hicks also testified when the access Hollywood Tape went public she personally brought the news to trump. She described him as being very upset. He told her at the time it didnt seem like something he would say. Then asked hicks about the blowback and criticism from Top Republicans of the family paul ryan and mitt romney. Two in place with the d. A. s office testified about the validity of trumps social media post as well as data extracted from Michael Cohens cell phone. Trumps lawyers pushed back on how strong that evidence is. Several acts though mike epps on the cell phone make it difficult to retrieve certain messages, trumps lawyer had an issue with the Collection Process of cohens bones. They said some level of trust will be needed in cohen for certain information on his phone and trumps lawyers argue that trump is a proven liar stomach a proven liar and not a good witness. Court will end early today. John nate, thank you. Center . Sandra watching the White House Press briefing on College Campus though mike epps is lifeless and her. Police presence on college and universities that is something that universities and colleges have to make a decision on. That is something that they decide what is right to have and to move forward on their campuses and colleges. We understand. We understand how painful this moment is. You have heard me say it it is an incredibly charged time. It is a charged environment. It is very difficult. Because of the charged environment for our Law Enforcement we also believe it is very important that all americans can peacefully protest within the law. They have to be able to do that. You heard from the president , it is part of our fundamental american principles. Part of what makes americas Freedom Freedom to protest previously in this country and its also important which is the second part the president talked about yesterday is the rule of law we have to follow the rule of law. Violence is not protected here. Americans have the right to peacefully protest within the law and we will be very consistent here. As i said, these are incredibly painful times. It is very charged moment. We understand how difficult that can be. So i will leave it there. Is that your three topics . Okay. Great. So you say you have not seen a conference of plan for rough but i have heard the u. S. Has been briefed on an initial plans or can you tell us what the reaction was to israeli counterparts about that . Ill be super mindful these conversations are diplomatic conversations. Sandra we will keep monitoring the White House Press briefing. This is obviously key for us to watch any further action the white house might take against the growing demonstrations to happening on College Campuses all over the country. John . John to that end lets bring a Georgia Republican governor brian kemp. We want to ask you about the Police Response at Emory University and the University Of Georgia to this because particularly at emory that is some controversy and Karine Jeanpierre was talking about that. Some other news broke today which is the Department Of Justice has Emory University in its crosshairs or possible civil Rights Violations against muslim americans. A lot of america is asking where is the civil rights investigation into what has been going on regarding jewish students . I mean, its just insane, john, thank you for having me on. Its typical of the Biden Administration, the spokesperson just talk for close to 2 minutes about this issue and i have no idea where they stand. The president when he should have said something and stood strong two weeks ago just did it last night. That is the problem with the administration. You dont have clarity. Nobody knows where they stand and to have the justice apartment opening investigation, what they should have been doing over a week ago wasnt doing like us, standing with the president to keep the campus secure. To keep all students safe and to go after people who were trespassing and violating the law as well as damaging the campus. Sandra governor, thank you for coming on the program. I think many of us were thinking the same thing when we listened to the briefing there a moment ago. I am looking back in there, i am sure again soon peter doocy is in the room. He will ask questions about this as well. But, they continue to say rule of law, freedom of speech, but when those are taken away, when a jewish student cannot walk on their campus, when a jewish student cant feel safe or not be spit on or antisemitic rhetoric hurled at them, what are they announcing as far as action . We have heard nothing on that front. And look what if the situation were reversed . What if the jewish students had taken over Public Spaces and set up tents and compounds . Would the reaction from the Biden Administration and of these College President s have been the same . I mean, i am like you all. Look, we have the First Amendment back during civil unrest after george floyd and that we saw firsthand in georgia we had 3,000 people protesting in the city of atlanta. But we set rules and when people violated those they got locked up and went to jail. We were not going to allow people to disrupt other citizens in our state, disrupt people going to their jobs or getting their kids home from school or anything like that and we are not going to do that on our College Campuses as well. I will tell you, i think people are really fed up. Is been a lack of leadership in the white house like most of the things, the president waited i guess until a polling day to back before he made a strong statement. But they continue to be in the middleoftheroad on this and when you do that you usually get run over. What the American People want and what people in georgia want is a strong leaders that will take a stand and do the right thing when people are breaking the law. I saw of any of the other day, guys, i mean one of these agitators spit in the face of an Atlanta Police officer. Its a miracle that officer did not lose his cool but they didnt. They just locked that person up. Thats the kind of thing we are dealing with with these agitators. They are influencing a lot of kids on campus and we will not put up with it on the state of georgia. Like i said the other day we wont allow our state to become the next Columbia University or ucla. Quick carol tell my clarification Years Department of education of the Department Of Justice that has opened the civil rights investigation into emily. I want to make that clear but it is still the same. They are being investigated for that but not for they are being investigated for that but not what is going on with jewish students nor any other College Campuses. You would hope, john, the department amended, education would open an investigation to kids who cannot get to their exams because these radicals are disrupting campuses versus looking at College President s trying to keep their campus safe and finish on a strong note. John but i wanted to make a point on Police Intervention on Emory University it is coming to criticism they were looked at using pepper balls, pepper spray, but one of the protesters arrested was a convicted felon who crossed state lines to come to the campus and apparently had weapons in his car. So when the police go into these situations, they really dont know who is there. Speak i think its important for people to notice that the Georgia State patrol was there because we were asked by the university to help. The Atlanta Police department was asked to come in by the university and the university of police to have enough resources to make sure this thing did not get out of control like we have seen it do another places. There were orders to disperse. There was clear direction given to these people that they were violating policy that they were trespassing. They had the opportunity to leave. That is not with these people wanted, guys. These are the same people that protested the Atlanta PoliceTraining Center and involved in these different groups and im not accusing these people of burning construction equipment, but these are the same people who have been protesting these events. Many of them i am sure are funded from outofstate actors. They are embedding themselves with students on campuses and trying to jam this. If there there was any leslie foul shot, any smoke dispersed or tear gas at dispersed it would have been because these individuals did not heed the warnings and started to push back when Law Enforcement went in to make arrests. That is standard procedure. I will stand behind them all day long as they do that. We will go after anyone who is assaulting Police Officers or spitting in their face as we saw the other day. Sandra governor we got a tweet from the new york Police Department here on some of the things left behind when they are clearing out these encampments. Students leave behind books on terrorism. A lot of the writings on their work is Death To IsraelDeath To America finding knives, hammers, setting out pictures of what they are finding in these encampments quite disturbing. Governor, thank you for your time. Thank you. Good to see you again. Day 11 of former president Donald Trumps trial, he is said to be back inside that court room moment now. Since it resumes at 215, what we normally see is right between 2 11 and 2 40 the former president walks back into the court room. It looks like there is some activity there with the doors opening, trying to catch it as we head to a break but star witness a former Trump White House aide hope hicks also this Campaign Manager of 2016, she is on the stand today. Some Key Takeaways from our panel. Jim trusty former trump attorney and Entergy Caskey Former Prep Federal Prosecutor will join us we will keep watching that life shot after the break. Speak of the prosecution made the decision to have Michelangelo Question hope hicks. That is an intentional choice. One, it is to show she is important to their case but two a bit of an intimidation tactic. So i grabbed the rings and hustled down the beach. Who has the rings . I do. I mean, i do. Okay.

Sandra fox news alert we saw the former president and his legal team walked through and reenter the court room so that was just court has officially resumed. Lets bring in our legal panel, former prosecutor and Criminal Defense Attorney think you both. Jim to you first we know hope hicks is still on the stand. How do you expect afternoon to go . I think gently. This is getting less and less recognizable as a criminal trial. Trial. I point to a couple of things from her direct testimony so far they are asking her questions like how do different political figures react to the incriminating tape for mr. Trump and how is that admissible and how does that matter . Its kind of underscoring to me that we are talking about this crazy crime of putting Legal Services on your ledger but not saying go services for an nda. In short i dont think she is a star witness. I think she is doing her best talking about all sorts of things that are hopeful to the government when it comes to the timing. But shes not establishing anything by a long shot and i think all roads are back to Michael Cohen is the guy who has to deliver the goods for the prosecution. John i got the same thing, jim, why does it matter what other people think about that tape . Its only whether or not there was some sort of reaction and here is the thing, andrew. At that tape was from 2005. What possible bearing does it have on 2016 . I think if the testimony of hope hicks doesnt show any moment of guilt the prosecutions case is in big trouble here. They are now going through with hope hicks the day by day as to what is going on the access Hollywood Tape et cetera. She is his righthand man. She has a ton of access. It would stand to reason with him doing it here there may be some idea of criminology here. We have to prove them later written checks they say were fraudulent are trying to conceal some sort of crime so i imagine they are trying to point to that october november time frame. The idea that the access Hollywood Tape somehow created so much fear in donald trump and the rest of the campaigns mind that there is some criminal misconduct so hope hicks hasnt done anything like that so far she is just an observer to the overall idea that donald trump wants his reputation manage and control over the campaign that is not a crime. So unless they get criminal evidence of Criminal Activity i think theyre both in big trouble. Sandra so hope hicks and the jury is brought back and so there is a lot of time on that access Hollywood Tape, judge has said repeatedly now at the request of the prosecution to air that tape the judge has told them it is not fair and they cannot play it but it seems theyre doing everything they can to make it as present as possible in that room. They are wallowing in the tawdry. I think their hope is if we put enough slime out there in terms of very distasteful things and obviously ndas in general come off as distasteful especially with sex based scandals. At some point you have to see may be the jury wonders why are we here . Are we here for a felony crime or just for
