The Story With Martha MacCallum

>> i think this is the first of the biden show trials playing out in front of every american around the country. i think americans see these prosecutions for what they are which is politically motivated in an effort of election interference. i think president trump is absolutely right and i would say i am limited in what i can say about this object because of the wildly unconstitutional unilateral gag order that the judge placed against president trump and his team that prevents us from raising some of the very real issues that have come to light in court papers and just infect this prosecution from its initiation through to the present day. so i think it is a sad day for democracy cactus the elections playing out in courtrooms instead of at the ballot box is where they belong. >> martha: let me ask you about matthew calendula who is senior counsel to the manhattan da and he recently up to a year and a half ago work for the department of justice who passed on this case. and we will dig into his

The Story With Martha MacCallum

speaking to that judge and manhattan da alvin bragg who attended court in person today. trump will again be here in person as is inquired for every day of his trial. >> martha: thank you very much nate. a lawyer for former president trump is also a republican candidate for missouri attorney general. good to have you here today. >> great to be with you. thank you for having me. >> martha: let's start with this. this is the reaction over at cnn with regard to what we just heard from the former president that this is all -- the former president saying this all came from the white house and this is all election oriented to keep him off of the trail and here's what their analyst said. watch this. >> we keep hearing this claim from donald trump that this and all prosecutions are product of joe biden's white house. we have said and i will say again that is false in here it's demonstrably false. >> martha: what do you say to that sir?

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

their side so because of that, their strategy is going to rely on trying to muddy the waters and make this confusing for the jury to sort out. at least one juror says i don't understand why we're here and i expect you're going to continue to see that sort of work and theme advance by his defense team. >> now we're starting to hear names that may not be familiar to folks. back to vaughan who is outside the courthouse. the name dylan howard came up. tell us about him and why he's important. >> reporter: he's another individual we should expect to be a witness called to the stand in this trial. dylan howard was working as the editor in chief of the national enquirer as all this unfolded in 2015 and 2016. he, per the prosecution, was engaged in prosecutions between david pecker, michael cohen, as well as donald trump. particularly around the stormy daniels payment and arrangement in october of 2016, david

both sides. >> very strong. the prosecution team, i know three of the members very well, susan hoffinger, josh stein glass. susan spent her career in the d.a.'s office, left for 20 years and was a defense attorney. she has more extensive criminal defense experience and cross-examination experience probably than anyone other than susan necheles. donald trump's lawyers are very good. one caveat about the prior prosecutions of donald trump. they were civil, preponderance of the evidence. criminal is prof beyond a reasonable doubt. that's a very heavy burden for prosecutors. it's a very different burden than a civil case. >> but the i'm fact would be that some of them are very character revealing if you

i former federal prosecutor been around a little while, with courtrooms and out, are you familiar with any other individual who has faced for criminal trials in four different jurisdictions simultaneously? are you aware of anybody was had to do with that? >> we are an absolutely unprecedented times in that respect as was made clear by our request in new york earlier in the trial for president trump to be allowed to attend his supreme court argument on presidential immunity next week. the judge obviously denied that. it just brings to light how all of these cases are coming to bear at the same time we believe the timeline being imposed by these prosecutors is fundamentally political. i was trained as a federal prosecutor prosecutions are never supposed to be political they are never supposed to appear political we are seeing exactly the opposite play out in courtrooms right now.

as i like to say, bubble wrap it and launch investigations that have at least a thin veneer of a reasonable predicate in order to move forward. make the mistake, they will be political prosecutions. donald trump had said that as far back as when i was in his first term. he would talk about how it was his strategy to sue people not because he had a case against them but to sue them to force them to settle and to put them through difficulty. he did it in his business career, he wanted to do it with his first term justice department. often, he got rained in. in a second term, he won't be reined in. i want to add one more point to that. for this book, i had trump
