his chances in 2016. now that we're going to go from the defense and the defense is going argue trump wasn't involved with paperwork at this level because they're going to argue that this is just a paperwork crime trump had people to handle invoices and such things for him also argue that michael cohen was trump's lawyer at the time in question. he was doing legal work for him and also then of course, they're going to try to completely undercut the credibility of michael cohen. >> we know that the prosecution company statement things about 40 minutes. defense says there's going to be about 20 minutes. the judge's giving the instructions now, which may be 20 there are so minutes. it's very possible. we could get the first witness before the stop, the break of this trial at 12:30. >> well, and that's certainly what the trump team expects that the first witness will be brought. now, it'll it's expected that the prosecutor shall bring their first witness. they will start asking them questions. it's not clear that today we'll get to the cross-examination where trump's team gets to ask whoever the first witnesses this will we do expect to be david as we were talking about earlier, the former publisher of the national enquirer, to be
she's it's going to remain also just if this issue is resolved is not going to be an issue. we are going to get to the opening statements. the prosecution says there's going to be about 40 minutes. todd blanche, which is trump's defense attorney, who will be making there's is going to be about 25. so this will be a little bit shorter and for our viewers, obviously, our folks in the courtroom will be sending out those opening statements line by line as much as possible. so you can follow all along already this morning. courtroom complications and down trump's hush money trial, the sidebar with the lawyers just ended after as you just heard, a juror expressed concern about the media attention on this historic case that der is staying on the case so every much more seen as especially the live coverage after this quick break with car gurus, you can start your financing from home the only you could do things your way. you could do things your way. all the time maybe someday dad
i know you're not a body language expert. i'm asking about your observations about david pecker. >> reporter: it's interesting. we didn't get a ton of testimony from mr. pecker. the proceedings ended at 12:30est earn time. there was a long break, there was an interruption because the judge told the jurors they could have writing implements and pads of paper if they wanted. he forgot to ask them if they wanted them. there was another interruption where everyone got school supplies. that ate up a lot of time so we didn't get a lot from mr. pecker. my impressions of him -- you'll see it in the transcript later today. he described himself as 72 years old. he's now self-employed as a consultant including consulting for the company that he used to run, but he doesn't run that company anymore. he did say he was at this proceeding under subpoena and he had a lawyer present in the
and understanding the story. but number two, we also understand that there's going to be this break and we're going to have some time for passover so we need to give them something that is going to make -- >> he's coming out. let's see if he says anything. this is after the first day and he may pause. he seems to be approaching. >> so, you heard that yourself. this is a case that nobody wanted to bring including alvin bragg. it was just at the last minute that he decided to go. it's a case that you're looking back, it goes back many, many years. 2015. maybe before that. and it's a case as to bookkeeping, which is a very minor thing in terms of the law. in terms of all the violent crime going on outside as we speak. right outside as we speak. but this is a case where we paid a lawyer, it's a lawyer.
more _ these things. so of course they have more information. but it doesn't mean _ more information. but it doesn't mean the — more information. but it doesn't mean the information they give is true _ mean the information they give is true. , ., ., ., mean the information they give is true. , ., ., ~ mean the information they give is true. , ., ., ,, ., true. very good to talk to you. thank you _ true. very good to talk to you. thank you very _ true. very good to talk to you. thank you very much - true. very good to talk to you. thank you very much for - true. very good to talk to you. thank you very much for your. thank you very much for your thoughts on that. we are going to take a short break. we will be back after this. hello there. a bit of a disappointing day again for this stage in april — rather grey, cloudy, damp, certainly across england and wales, where it did feel really chilly once again. and that chilly feel will continue for the rest of the week, with the best of the sunshine towards western areas — always more cloud towards the north and east. you can see the arctic air pretty much lingering across the uk over the next few days, pretty much until we reach the weekend, in fact, where things may turn a bit milder in the south. but we've had thick cloud across england and wales, courtesy of these weather fronts, which have brought outbreaks of light and patchy rain. and that patchy rain will continue across eastern england, spreading southwards into the midlands, southern southeast england through the night. further north and west, we'll have clearer skies here —
i think that this is getting a lot of attention. for good reason. because the witnesses as you mentioned before the break. they are getting concerned. they are feeling intimidated. the prosecution is doing the right thing. bringing in and dragging in the defendants. the reality. is that i think at the end of the day. trump is not going to be spending the night in prison. he is not going to be actually facing that type of penalty. but he is going to face a penalty every day at trial. for his attempts to circumvent the rules. thumb his nose at the judge. we are going to be talking in which the way that they have been showing how he is in charge. the trial has not even started yet. it starts on monday. they are going to figure out that the judge is going to exercise all types of authority in that courtroom. and the more he keeps this up, the board is going to come back to hurt him. >> to that point.
the gag order has to come off it i should be allowed to speak. they are taking away my constitutional right to speak but that include speaking to you. i have a lot to say to you and i am not allowed to say it. >> that was donald trump complaining about being muzzled as he spoke freely with reporters. the irony not lost on anyone. this comes as he faces a scheduled hearing over alvin bragg's request to hold in contempt of gag order violations. prosecutors claim he has violated the gag order at least seven times -- seven more times since monday afternoon and attacked the judge at witnesses on his failed social media website but the violation carries the risk of jail time for trump which he claims and considers a, quote, great honor for hamburg my panter is back with me. renato, let us break down his claims that he cannot speak standing up from girls speaking but he is loved to talk to the press but he cannot use public statements to influence, intimidate or attacked those individuals and called in the
trial as he is done repeatedly. am i getting that right? >> reporter: that is right. i have to say it will come as no surprise to anyone who is watching this that donald trump is not being honest about the restriction that the judge is putting on him. obviously, he is able to speak. he is speaking. he is talking on his social media platform all the time. some of the violet rules and some of them don't. here is what i would say about that. i think this is getting a lot of attention with good reason. the witnesses, as you mentioned before the break are getting concerned that they are feeling intimidated. the prosecution is doing the right thing, burying it in front of the judge and dragging the defendant. i do think at the end of the day, trump is not going to be a martyr spending a night in prison. he is not going to be facing
