take their cues from the prosecutor in this case.ng g they will take their cue from attorney general letitia james. bill barr used to say the doj,e the department of justice is not the department of prosecution. o i think people need to understand sometimes andnd s tho justice jackson, and the attorney general of the first part of the 20th century, he said this, "the prosecutor has more control over life, liberty, and reputation than any other person in america." what i've been concerned about ast as i watch this case in newk unfold against donald trump is seethat there seems to be onlya focus on the latter of the law and not the spirit of the spirit asked what is fear and without the spirit, that is not justice> but abuse and manipulation. >> trey: all right, andrew, i will appoint you to give openin statement for the defense. so, what do you say, do you do it now or wait until you present your case later? i assume you can do that in new york and i know you can dofs it in south carolina. whate defenses both defensible

and will work in front of a jury? do you let the jury know whatcl front whether your client will testify or not? >> will commit his show time fos the defense and donald trump's case. i think they need to stand up give apowe powerful opening statement. i always do in my practice might give that opening statementecut right after the prosecution before the opening of the case. i think what they need to sell strong is the start of with extortion scheme from stormy daniels and that donald trump in the run up to 2016 election wanted to get rid of that nuisance instead of involving the department of justice of his enemy in politics at the time, barack obama and joe biden. instead of dealing with the legal fallout that might come with a doj complaint, that what he did was engage in a perfectly legal, nondisclosure agreement with stormy daniels coming out e of protectings t his run-up to the election, but for purposes of protecting his owfon self-image. p

mediinteand say anything and noe under the penalty of perjury. i think it says quite something somabout the way these proceeds arvee going. you have a judge who donated tod joe biden's campaignen for president. small dollar donation but the fact thaneutt he did it when trp cases percolating and coming before him says something as well. it is something that trump keeps his cool to the extent he can and be as likable as possible. >> trey: andrew, we only have o a little bit of time but kerrymh just raise some things. my question to you, you are our evidence professor from now until we go towe g the break.s how much of that is going to bes admissible? the president calling it a witch hunt here with the political motivation, how much n that is a jury going to be able to hear from the defense? >> they are going to hear almosh none of that. i think the defense should steea away from that. we saw donald trump really try to hammer in his new york civilc trial over and over again howw n unfair it is. but this is the time to engender

well, the former president has continually slammed this case saying the payments to cohen were legit. >> i called a -- i was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense, some accountant, didn't know, marked it down as a legal expense. that's exactly what it was. and you get indicted over that? >> but prosecutor josh stein glass told prospective jurors quote this case is about the rule of law and whether or not donald trump broke it. reports say that first witness, yes, will be david pecker, the former publisher of the national inquirer he says he paid playboy playmate karen macdougall for her silence. lawyers for trump say prosecutors have it wrong. >> we believe the facts are absolutely on our side that they're absolutely exxonner racism of the president. and as long as the jury focuses on the facts and see through all

he says that there's the appearance that you can't beat donald trump fairly and that you are using the criminal justice system to go after him. and voters don't like that. they want a one-on-one fight. the courts used to be a referee, right, to look at things from a legal standpoint, and will makes the case that, look, this stuff happens all the time. you even have defendants that pay people off in a sense in criminal prosecutions. that say hey, we'll just settle this civilly. that way you won't go to the stand to testify against me. it should be illegal but it happens all the time why is that okay. >> brian: going to kill the president to be in court for six weeks. not do anything for eight hours a day four days a week and that's definitely -- i know it's still april. but i remember in april is when barack obama painted mitt romney as a selfish white guy who like to fire people.

cut up companies and fire people. i remember thinking to myself why is mitt romney not doing anything? putting together his team for the general election. there is a danger in the president letting joe biden tee off on him while is he in court. i hope they have a counter campaign strategy and a counter legal strategy. >> ainsley: the irony here is they are accusing donald trump of election interference, paying these people off before the election, yet, they are keeping him in court. the judge and the prosecutor. it's already in. we already know. some of them ran on getting donald trump. they are interfering with the election while joe biden is flying on air force one. going out there campaigning. president trump is sitting in a courtroom. >> brian: good news for trump is is he a terrible campaigner. president biden goes for 12 minutes and runs out of gas. almost a half of it the closed caption can't figure out what he is saying. that's advantage. he doesn't have barack obama that he is running against. >> ainsley: talk about the protest. today is the beginning of passover.

misdemeanor enhancement, i think it is probably a decision both sides made but especially the trump campaign two lawyers probably helping us in a convoluted factual case. >> matt, one thing that is curious about is on two fronts, that the court allowed donald trump's former attorney to testify. there used to be legal protections for that on the same ground the trump legal team, there has been the idea floated of having michael avenatti testify as well, who is stormy daniels' attorney as well. do you have any idea why the court allowed that? >> well, you know, you have the same thing in the florida case. you have seen these lawyers who have breached their ethical duties, spoken out against their clients and not kept confidences. really the most basic confidence
