stage. he's the one, of course he was in charge of at the head of ami, in charge of the national enquirer. it sets the stage and just sort of provides for the jury. it started as soon as donald trump announced he was running for president. >> charles, does it matter that they were long time friends, associates, people who worked together for a long time? does that give him more credibility? >> i think it does. the prosecutors are going to tie that into their narrative around why you should believe him and why he's credible. i think when you're setting the stage, giving a jury a very clear picture around what's happening, you have to give to the jury a reason why you should be believing these witnesses and their testimony. so for the reasons you've just mentioned, i think that pecker is going to be a very important witness for that. not to mention it's very important that the audience understands this is a case that quite frankly is really centered on the documents in terms of the documents and the paper trail and so that's not exciting for a jury. you don't want to lose a jury.

you have to have someone who's going to be able to tell a story and narrate it and then use the documents to supplement what it is that the story's being told around. that's why pecker is an important witness for the prosecution to start out, get the jury locked in, understanding exactly what we're talking about here. >> also because what todd blanche made clear is part of what donald trump's defense is he didn't really know the details of what was going on here, right? and maybe pecker's someone who could disabuse that notion. >> it was interesting looking at the reports around the opening statements. i expected exactly what we got from donald trump's defense attorneys. specifically admit what you can't deny and deny what you can't admit. specifically when you look at for example the commentary around stormy daniels and her testimony not mattering. if you're the defense, her testimony can't matter. and so you have to do everything you can to sort of condition and
