after saying repeatedly he wanted to testify. trump did, however, stop for the cameras before going into court earlier today. and here is what he said. we re resting the case. i won t be resting. i don t rest. i like to rest sometimes, but i don t get to rest. he won t be resting. the main witness, the defense did call, was robert costello. and he was back on the stand trying to undercut michael cohen s testimony earlier today, a day after being admonished and warned by the judge that his behavior was contemptuous. even though testimony in this case appears to be over, a huge decision is now looming. will jurors be allowed to consider lesser charges, misdemeanors against the former president? or will felony charges be their only option? the charging conference that will decide that question and potentially go a long way toward deciding how this case ends is just one hour away. i want to bring in msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin remaining outside the courthou ....

this week, we are going atomic at the european organization for nuclear research, cern. we will look at the cutting edge cancer treatments that are foxing the physicists. i find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. so, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. how does science become fiction? we will meet an author looking for disaster. we want conflict. we want to see things falling apart. that is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. and then there is a scientist with an experiment that could change our understanding of everything. that is a completely unanticipated result new physics and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. cern is one of the most famous centres for science in the world. on the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. its high energy physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. and i have been allo ....
