This comes as we learn Michael Avenatti is reportedly talking to trumps Legal Defense team from his jail cell. Madeleine rivera joins us with more. Reporter good morning. Just one day to go before opening arguments former President Trump is blasting the trial with a series of new posts on his platform, truth social. He says in part the Scam Rush Trial taking place a 95 democrat area is a planned and coordinated witch hunt that could have been brought eight years ago but everybody passed. They waited and brought it right in the middle of my president ial campaign. The post comes one day after an Appeals Court rejected the trump teams motion to delay the trial as they tried to move the case out of manhattan where they argue folks are too biased to give the former president a a fr shake. Hes getting backup from Michael Avenatti, the former attorney of stormy daniels. Hes in federal prison, serving a 19 years sentence for extortion, em he be sellment, ag other crimes. He tells the New York Post hes been in contact with trumps attorneys and says he would be willing to testify for the former president. Avenatti says theres no question the trial is politically motivated because theyre concerned that he may be reelected. If the defendant was anyone other than donald trump, this case would not have been brought at the time. Also happening this week, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on trumps claims of president al immunity as he fights the federal criminal case you accusing him of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results, lets bring in trump team attorney, will sharp. Opening statements set to begin this week. Before we get into particular, set the scene. Whats the strategy . What is the Trump Defense going to look like . Look, while the prosecution and the media are hellbent On Sensationalizing this case, were focusing on the facts because the facts show that President Trump did absolutely thouing wrong. This is a bess records case. The Business Records accurately reflected payments to one of President Trumps lawyers as legal retainer fees. Add does nailly, those records werent additionally those records werent entered by President Trump, he was busy running things at the white house while this was happening in new york. The facts are on our side, they exonerate the president and as long as the jury focuses on the facts, as long as the jury can see through all the Media Coverage and the sensationalism and focus on the facts at issue in the case we believe we have a winning case and thats what youll see play out tomorrow with opening argument. I had a former prosecutor on the show earlier. He talked about the fact theres two lawyers on the jury. Thats an unconventional move by the prosecution and the defense team. His suspicion was, the argument and the theme therefore from the defense in looking at those two lawyers on the jury is making the technical argument that no matter the facts, this doesnt add up to a crime as they go back to that jury room to argue. Is that a rational theme to explain the presence of two lawyers on the jury . Well, look, i think a lot of aspects of Jury Selection in this case have been highly abnormal. You saw a huge number of jurors being excused for cause because they admitted that they couldnt be fair and impartial and unyou biased as unbiased as we expect of jurors. Its unusual to have lawyers seated on a jury. Thats one of the least unusual aspects of the case. The case should never have been brought, certainly shouldnt be tried in new york. The made Media Capital of the wt the height of election season. We moved to recuse the judge, a change o of venue. There are a lot of aspects of the case that are unregular. This is in the new york times. They said New York State prosecutors have never before filed an election law case involving a federal campaign. The trustee talked about how they elevated a misdemeanor to a felony, something thats historically you unique and you will never see it gone. It strikes me as unbelievable theres Nos Precedent for this. I have to believe at least one juror even in a blue jurisdiction like manhattan will have the wherewithal to Say Something is happening here, this is unprecedented. Yeah, you know, James Madison in the federalist papers wrote about the cruise of political faction of newfangled and artificial treasons to oppress political opponents. I think thats what were seeing play out in courtrooms across america, were seeing prosecutors hellbent on interfereing with the 2024 election bringing unprecedented he legal theories against President Trump all because of what hes doing, because hes running for president. Its an outrageous abuse of the legal system. I think alvin braggs prosecution they in new york that were seeing play out in court this week is example a of that phenomenon and its outrageous, should offend all americans of all political stripes. Youre not the only one saying that. Here is cnns top legal analyst saying pretty much the same thing. Watch. On a scale of caseses that prosecutors charge, its mid lane. Theres stuff we dont know. But its middle of the pack and im not saying that to hedge. Ive seen enough to know one to ten its a five, four andahalf. If they were trying this case in a jurisdiction that had gone 50 50, trump biden, i would say theres no chance of a conviction. If it was actually fair. Yeah. Yeah, i wouldnt rate this case a five. I would rate this case a zero. The fact that this case is seeing the inside of a courtroom at all is an absolute outrage and speaks to the politicization of the system of Law Enforcement under the Biden Administration and their political allies across the country. I mean, again, we have the leading candidate for president being forced to take time off the Campaign Trail for a totally inhavented legal theory that has you said has never seen the light of day in the a courtroom before. Its absolutely outrageous and i think any fair and i impartial jury will see through the sensationalism and Media Coverage and would feel honor bound to acquit here. Its a hypothetical that this would be brought in another jurisdiction. The case wouldnt be brought in any other jurisdiction. One more question for you. I know youre not going to lay out a playbook on the sunday before the trial starts. It will not only be Opening Statements , if the first week e anticipate probably the first prosecution witness and that could be Michael Cohen. What would be in what you could share the Cross Examination Theme or strategy with Michael Cohen . Well, look, thats a little bit of a complicated question to answer because of the wildly unconstitutional unilateral gag order in this case. With respect to Michael Cohen, this is a man who has been found liable for perjure by a number of courts previously and thats going to be a key theme here is the fact that the prosecutions witnesses are simply not credible people. The actual facts here, fully support President Trump because he did nothing wrong. All right. Thank you very much,. Will, thank you. Thank you guys. Thats impeaching the witness in legalese, its establishing that the witness is inherently untrustworthy, a proven track record of not just lying but of perjury. It should undercut any credibility of a witness with a jury. Hearing him talk about the facts and everything you just laid out, just wonder are these people capable of being fair . Thats what i really want to know. Maybe its a Curve Ball Strategy of saying hey, a lawyers sitting there. I mean, it depends. If you have a hyper partisan couple lawyers theyll get in the jury room and spin it the way they want with legal language that other jurors wont have acassess to. Maybe it goes in the other direction. Maybe thats the play the trump team is making. If a lawyer sees it all as a former attorney for p diddy, all you need is one juror. He called it a disrupter. You need a juror to break through the morase, you need one, you get a hung jury. This could backfire of democrats. If hes acquitted, hung jury, i mean, take tail wind perhaps behind the former president politically. All that means is you have two people who should know better, understand the arguments, how they apply to the law and the failures of this particular prosecution but that doesnt mean they will be that one. It just means the theyre not, they should know better. Just need one. Speaking of should know better, we talked about this yesterday but you would think by now given all the evidence of the problems that come with men pretending to be would of men and being in womens spaces we might be backing off of those thongs. Not the Biden Administration. They cashthings. Not the Biden Administration. They et completed the rules of title 9 which basically replace biological sex with gender identity. All the title 9 protections according to that guy right there a afforded to women for decades now also belong to men who think theyre women or pretending to be women. We were talking about how that rule actually hurts females. Theyre saying all are welcome except for women. This is the m most assinine, a antireality pursuit from this administration so far. This would allow men in womens locker rooms, bathrooms, changing spaces, potentially allow men to be housed in dorm rooms with women. I would say 95 of common sense, everyday americans, parents, coaches, medical professionals, female a athletes, they see it happen whatting. It turns the them away. This isnt a battle of red versus blue. This is sane versus insane, moral versus evil. You have the secretary of education, im paraphrasing, he says it furthers title 9 whose entire purpose was to further females in sports. Ththis issue is a common sense issue. I was enthused to see Washington Post polling that came out that showed north of 60 say biological men should not be in womens sports. People gravitate towards fairness on this. I expected to poll to be closer to 90. Rileys estimation, its beyond red and blue, its common sense. People see it as a Dividing Line as sanity versus insanity. If you cant acknowledge basic biology and sacrifice this to the ideology. Youre not fit for leadership. Youre not fit family room decent conversation. Theres not fit for decent conversation. I cant believe the Democratic Party is giving in to the insanity. As we were talking about this issue, you could take every word you just said, will, and we said, a and apply it to the military and other institutions. Weve lost our minds. Common sense that have made sense for a listening time. Im transitioning to my book, the war on warriors, some of the things you dont expect it, theyre on hyper drive and thats the pentagon where trans ideology is pushed into units. But it didnt just happen immediately. Its happened over the course of a couple administrations. Yesterday i was in an audio booth had for nine hours, readiy audio book for the war on warriors. It must be an easy read. I flowed. I filmed a portion to share with you guys, talking about basically that last issue. As it applies to combat. Watch. A man who acts differently in combat gets people killed. A woman who cant do the same job as a man in combat gets people killed. A trans soldier who doesnt have his her meds is combat ineffective and gets people killed. A competent, experienced white soldier who leaves the army because hes told hes the problem gets people killed. Likewise, a black or female soldier who gets promoted primarily because of the color of their skin or the genitalia between their legs gets people killed. The only thing that matters is mission accomplishment. Trained individuals, trained teams, shared missions, no distractions, maximum lethality. Anything else is [bleep] and right now we have a steaming pile of it. [laughter] wow. You talked to guys still serving, i talked to dozens for this book on active duty as well, they say the exact same thing. Our job is to be lethal. Our diversity is not our strength. Our unity is our strength. Our leadership is pushing this garbage down the throats of our units which nobody wants and it divides us and were walking on egg shells as commanders and it headaches the environment more dangerous and people will die as a result. In the previous hour i shared a combat story of mine. In the book youll hear about missions i went on, the brotherhood, the reality of the dangers of combat and you see this stuff, why are women coming into mens combat units . And the military did studies. The marine corpses did a full study that showed all menu knits versus Men And Women Units in direct combat. What do you think happened . What do you think russia and china is doing . Do you think theyre focused on this. What do you think the Obama Administration did with the you city you i did . Thanks for the city you i did. Study. The book will tick some people out. You can apply it to a nation, unity in a nation is our strength. Its all the more on the nose as you read there very eloquently, the Military Unit where it gets people killed. S thats the end result of a lack of unity, it gets people killed. Check the book out, available right now, preorder it. Thank you. Turning to your headlines, well start with a fox news alert.
