Well, when 8085920400, thats when 8085920400 hello again everyone. Thank you so much for joining me on for greek. A whitfield all right. It is the eve of a historic moment, america can history tomorrow for the first time, prosecutors will present Opening Statements in a Criminal Trial of a former us president , donald trump will walk into a manhattan courtroom tomorrow morning, where he will hear the states case against him. He is facing dozens of charges related to alleged Hush Money Payment to adult film after a Stormy Daniels made before the 2016 election. This is the first of four criminal cases against trump to go to trial. Cnns Marshall Cohen when joining us now with more on this marshall, ill walk us through what the trial just might look like. Hey, fred, its History In The Making in New York City tomorrow, were donald trump will be the first president , former president of the United States to watch the Opening Statements in his own Criminal Trial. So lets just remind everybody how we got here because were just a few months away from the 2024 election. But this is all about the 2016 president ial election. Donald trump facing 34 felony charges. Those are State Charges brought by the top prosecutor, the District Attorney in manhattan, State Charges if hes convicted, he cant pardon himself the alleged crime is falsifying Business Records in connection with that Hush Money Payment to Stormy Daniels, which was routed indirectly through the trump organization. Prosecutors say that they falsify the records on the books. There. We have 12 jurors and six alternates that was what last week was all about. Whittling down that jury pool to get a seated panel of 12 and six its alternates. This is expected to go about six weeks, perhaps that means we could have a verdict this summer. And of course, donald trump has pleaded not guilty and he denies the affair with Stormy Daniels very aggressively one of. The prosecutor is going to be Talking About tomorrow. Unfortunately, the viewers at home, you wont be able to watch. You wont even be able to listen. There are no cameras in court. We have an entire team of reporters that will be there and sketch artists to do their best to bring it to life the prosecutors are going to try to bring this to life by telling a story of what happened in 2016. And they have a bunch of witnesses lined up and ready to go that surely therell be presenting in the coming days and weeks. Michael cohen, first and foremost hes the star witness in many respects. He was trumps righthand man, attorney and fixer. He has now turned states witness and he has a serious critic of donald trump. It was him who paid the money to Stormy Daniels in 2016 to keep her quiet. She never went public with those allegations before the 2016 election. Thanks to that at Hush Money Payment theres also hope hicks, she is a Trump Campaign official. Shu is part of the scramble behind the scenes in 2016 to prevent more damaging information from coming out against the candidate. Then on the bottom you have Karen Mcdougal and David Mcdougal is a former Playboy Playmate who also allege that she had an affair with donald trump and david as the head of the National Enquirer or purchase the rights to her story. But they buried it. They never published it, fred, and that is part of a scheme that prosecutors have called catch and kill between cohen and trump to find bad stories, anything damaging about trump . By it, bury it, mixture of the voters would never hear about it. Bread, all right. Marshall cohen. Thanks so much. Lets bring in our legal expert now, Michael Zeldin is a former federal prosecutor who served as Robert Muellers especially assistant at the department of justice. Add hes the host of that set with Michael Zeldin podcasts, Michael Great to see you so Opening Statements tomorrow. In case of this magnitude, how long do you expect those statements to go . They could last in hour or two each. I dont think its that complicated the case. You probably could get it done within 40 minutes or so. But lawyers these days seem to talk a lot longer in Opening Statements then when i was trying cases. So well have to see fred, but this is a pretty straightforward case. Factually. And what the prosecution needs to do is define what the terms of this case are about, which is business fraud. This is not a private agreement between private Citizen Trump and private citizen Stormy Daniels, something that they could have done. But rather this is a complicated scheme to defraud the voters of the information they needed before the election and the taxpayers of new york for the income that they might get if this was properly reported on their books and records. So how important is it going . Is it going to be for prosecutors to also use this opportunity to kind of teach the juror or some of them may not be very familiar with business or whats permissible, whats nfa . A call at whats illegal. So theyre Opening Statements might also be an opportunity to kind of teach them what the roadmap will be or will they be saving that for later . No i think that is exactly what i would do where i try this case. Id want to say, Ladies And Gentlemen of the jury let me tell you what this case is about. Let me educate you about the facts of this case with this scheme was what its intention was, how that intention was accomplished and here are the witnesses who were going to be testifying to that. And by the way, here are the Business Records themselves that Support Everything we are saying. So you can believe or not believe an individual witness here are there, but the Business RecordsSupport Everything. Each of them is saying. So at the end of the case, when asked you for a verdict of guilty weve seen already. Part of the strategy ive trumps defense team has been to delay by a number of motions and most Defense Attorneys would do that, right. But im wondering too, do you expect that they might be argumentative in the midst of the prosecutors Opening Statements as a Delay Tech Tactic or something else, some other motivation. Well, its a great question when i was a defense attorney, i used to periodically object in the Opening Statement of prosecutors, very unusual. I was just an annoying lawyer dont think theyll object in the Opening Statements, but i do think they will make a big push to get out there counter narrative, which was there was no fraud here. There was no intention to defraud anybody. This was just an agreement between Citizen Trump and Citizen Daniels to pay money to suppress a story which was untrue. But damaging. And so there was a calculation made that like with Karen Mcdougal or others, we would suppress just like bill clinton did with the socalled Bimbo Eruptions when he was running no harm, no foul, no intend to defraud private case. Government prosecuting me because im donald trump to interfere with the election. I think thats their narrative. Well see how much leeway the judge gives them to make it, though. Okay. And you say Opening Statements, it could be just an hour, so that means there would be room for witness number one or two with the judge. One but things to keep moving in that respect and get the witnesses in. If it turns out that Opening Statements are a very short or would the judge instead want to wait until a new fresh day . Well, it depends on how long into the day it runs. Lets say they start right away, nine, 30 in the morning with Opening Statements and Opening Statements, take all morning. Then they have a lunch break, and then theyll call the first witness in the afternoon. If im wrong in the Opening Statements last hours and hours and its not until 3 00 that, they are ready for the first witness. The judge could make determination to start fresh in the morning. But i think that we might have a very good chance of seeing witness number one tomorrow in the afternoon all right. Michael zeldin. Good to see you. Thank you so much. Of course, we have live coverage tomorrow reporters allowed in the courtroom. No life cameras, but we will have a live coverage all day. All right.
