Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

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

that's so horrible. will: those were videos from yale and columbia yesterday. just a couple of quick ons sayingses. -- observations. these take place at really, honestly, some of the most far-left corners of american society. i mean, they're doing this at columbia which is already one of the places where if you wanted to find sympathies for palestinian causes, you would find it most likely at yale and columbia. they're not downing it, you know, in the middle of a suburb of dallas, texas, they're doing it right there the at a place where they have you would think a friendly audience to some extent. not at all friendly, because some jewish students are saying, hey -- pete: not even close. will: -- we don't want to show up to class. in fact, they put up a petition to move back to virtual classes. they told our own, i believe,

Alex Witt Reports

press not to report on each juror's past and current employers to protect identities and not to write anything about physical observations, about their appearances or things you would hear like an accent. he said if the press can't follow those orders, he would be open to taking other measures. part of this was a problem from the judge and d.a. some of the answers didn't need to be public and could have been redacted from the start and they weren't. so you are in a tough spot but the judge is doing what he can to protect the jurors. >> suzanne, you are giving a thumbs up to that. >> she nailed it. that was the problem at the outset. >> why didn't they see that? >> i don't know. but when you are asking jurors all of those questions, you can guess who they are. you can google them if they work at this law firm and live at this neighborhood and their wife does this or their husband does this. i was surprised that they

loner in that he didn't fit in what the pro-trump demonstrators or the anti-trump demonstrators and so today when he showed up, it didn't give any one particular alarm till he took off his cody accord. >> the accelerant over having thrown that leaflets in the pamphlets that he carried in the air. and then quite suddenly set himself on fire with whatever this accelerant material was, which made him catch fire very quickly and very totally again, you witnessed this it was a horrifying moment i'm not connected seemingly to anything that was happening inside the courtroom, which i think almost happened at the same exact time. >> they finished with getting the sixth all right. alternate for the jury means he did what was your sense of the reaction of how quickly in my pdo was involved, how quickly the everything john's laying out about what's around this place. yeah. look, i mean, i think one of my observations from just coming here and watching this scene, i i think

Chris Jansing Reports

for literally years and years and years, and suddenly he's there in person. one of them talked about him looking over and making sort of eye contact with the jurors. what were your observations about what you could see from what was going on inside the courtroom? >> well, i think that the jurors' concern about being identified based on the information that we are getting just from them standing up in court and saying what they do and where they live and what their hobbies are and they're single and they have a dog or two cats is very concerning to these jurors. juror number two expressed that is why she did not want to continue, and juror number four, there were questions raised about his credibility, as lisa said, we don't know why he was let go. but he also said in the back and forth this morning that he just doesn't -- he's also concerned about being identified, and i think that this is a struggle, and at one point we were -- we've been told by the court

The Last Word With Lawrence ODonnell

jail and i will prove it or the other side of the trump crazy corn, you will put me in jail and i will somehow have martyr status because of it. >> these are great observations about the secret service. the new york state court rooms are safe, there is multiple layers of security. he can move around the courtroom safely. as andrew just said there can be multiple levels of punishment, of contempt to get him to a point where he stops doing this without getting to these fears you just mentioned. if the judge wants to start with a fine, if the judge wants to start with home detention he can take steps to ensure trump is complying with the orders. >> we will squeeze in a quick break and we will be back with andrew and adam on this breaking news about trump's clear violation of the judge's gag order and other matters for defendant trump, we will be right back. right back. they're quitting the kibble. and kicking the cans.
