showbusiness career, has been criticised by many for failing to intervene substantially with his daughter and get her into rehab orforce her to change her lifestyle. you've obviously had time to reflect on that and, given your own background and everything you've said about what you learned through sort of the hardships of your life... yes. ..do you have sympathy with this man you've just played? yes, i have lots of sympathy. when... i knew after... a year before they made the film, i knew that they were going to approach me to play the film. and i've a friend of mine who worked with amy and mitch and had first—hand experience of their relationship. and i knew that there was a prevailing narrative that mitch was to blame for amy's death, basically. and i asked my friend what he thought, and he said, "i always liked the man, eddie." he said, "i thought he was a loving father,
solve this at the ballot box. >> it's a salacious trial. it makes for good television on his throat, back to the clinton menstruation that senator lankford throwback. what what is your kind of big picture view of this? >> you look? >> so comfortable talking about this trial i mean, they have to be i think we're we're so endured to thinking that trump stuff just doesn't land. but there are a couple of ways in which it does lead. okay. first, is that spending oodles of cash on this. i think a quarter of the money that he's raising is going to pay for his legal fees. >> and then secondly, it's a cultural event media knows how to talk about illegal trial. >> the public knows how to discuss a legal trial. it provides a narrative framework for talking about all these things about trump oj simpson just passed away. kasie anderson, we going through all of these familiar steps and it provides a way for us to process and to discuss these things about the former president that would be hard for a campaign to talk about in
a way that felt fresh. so i mean, yes, it's not going to matter in the end in a decisive sort of way, but it matters case i thought was interesting. one of those members of congress said it was too late, and it is remarkable to think this conduct happened eight years ago. i mean, i have a son who's first year in college. he was in elementary school when this happened, and that would worry me a bit as a prosecutor because you don't like your jury feeling like something is ancient history. you want to feel like it's immediate and the other thing i wonder in this maybe goes to the political effect is this story is known. and then some, now we could, we will certainly get certain revelations. i'm particularly interested in what hope hicks and kellyanne conway have to say. i mean, i don't know that the overall narrative is going to change that much. i don't know if i mean everyone pretty much understand it's paid hush money well, the prosecution would say to silences women before the election and here we are eight years later. so it's a prosecutorial issue. it's also political issue? yeah. all right. >> we've got to take a quick break. donald trump doesn't says he will testify in his own defense well, it actually
own narrative. the description of him sounds a little different than his public persona. what do you make of his role in this case? >> as i talk about extensively in my book, the key to grinding down trump is to actually be a work horse, not a show horse. the key is to stick to your facts, you evidence, your arguments and keep on working them. out don't necessarily need to be a show horse. i think they're doing a plenty good job getting their message out there in the media about what this indictment is about. i don't think we need to have some other person who is reality show ready, being there to go up against trump. i think what matters is the courtroom, and what matters is convincing those jurors. that's what brag and his team have to do. i don't think there's anything bad here at all about not being showy or being a show horse. out don't need to be a show horse to beat trump.
the jury, right? so as the prosecution's giving his opening statement, how is he going about saying these are some areas where maybe you would find weakness but still projecting confidence? >> yeah, you know, one way i would do that when i was a prosecutor might be with a troubled witness. so with a michael cohen style witness, you don't run from the fact that michael cohen is michael cohen and you don't run from the fact that he has a shady past. you don't run from the fact that this guy is not a saint. what you do is repackage that. you might tell the jury, you're going to hear from michael cohen, and you're going to hear that he hasn't always been honest. or you might hear something to kind of front that. you frame it as we didn't choose michael cohen. you know who chose michael cohen, the defendant, donald trump. michael cohen is exactly the kind of guy this you hire to do this kind of scheme, and you frame a weakness and try to fit it back into your broader narrative, that's what i would expect the prosecution to do here. >> there's a point here, i'd like to ask vaughn about that.

witnesses say. who do we hear from? we hear from donald trump. he looked strong. he is out there. he is confident. his opponent is sending in a basement somewhere. metaphorical basement. trump is driving the narrative on this. i should be in north carolina and south carolina, et cetera. i wonder if democrats are having a moment where they are reflecting and wondering if this was the wrong way to go. gavin newsom said when we are focusing on trump, i worry electorally as a slight advantage for and i'm worried the overindulgence about this day today. i think this could backfire. get one disruptor on the jury, that's a tail wind trump politically. speak to what i was thinking about as we have been reporting all day to make kayleigh's point even further, emily said this, too. the cauldron of politics is outside the courtroom. that is the place where biden wants to win back. i don't know if he is really keeping up so much with these
remember, it was a grand jury that indicted donald trump in this case. and in this indictment he is quoting the first count the grand jury accuses the defendant of falsifying business records in the first degree. the defendant on or about february 14, 2017, attempted to defraud and conceal another crime by falsifying business records of an enterprise. the remaining 33 counts in this indictment count each monthly payment and invoice falsely describing a request for legal services, falsely describing the payment as one for legal services, also falsely describing the nature of the payment. 11 falsified invoices, 11 falsified ledger entries and 12 falsified checks. temidayo, they're jumping right into the details. what stands out to you from how the prosecution is framing all this, the narrative they are creating right now. >> i think they're doing exactly what caroline said, about the upside down pyramid. they started broad and they're
that jury room to deliberate, they have heard multiple times the narrative and the facts that support, or prosecutors are going to say is the intent necessary to unlawfully influence the 2016 election. that's the brass ring here. the business records are important, but the brass ring on the felony conviction is that intent. but there's the other thing which is the likability and believability of the prosecutors themselves. the rapport -- when you've got regular folks sitting in that box, sitting there not as lawyers, not as experts, not as folks with an axe to grind, part of what they're assessing is how much do i trust this lawyer? how much do i believe they have integrity? that's why prosecutors will also in their opening statements say, i'm going to tell you about the witnesses. i'm going to tell you about the weaknesses in their own case.
