terrorists, not difficult to google if you've gone to columbia, you probably know how to google two terrorists, one affiliated with the popular front for the liberation, palestine, a us designated terrorist organization. and the other spokesperson for a former spokesperson for the palestinian islamic jihad, both of whom are dead, both died in israeli prisons. and to walk by having worked in counter terrorism in my government career and see these posters was punched in the gut. and i can't imagine if i were a jew students and israeli student or really any student, how i would feel if i were to see something like that. so the thing that is posterize glorifying them basically they didn't have any comment about them. they just had the posters, big posters on sticks with these posters sticking up and in my view, i mean, listen, if you had september 11 if you had september 11 and then anywhere in the world you saw a protest where somebody just had a picture sure of maybe not bin laden himself, but an associate
specifically, i want to read you a quote from todd blanche on behalf of his client, donald trump, to the jury, quote, he's also a man. he's a husband. he's a father just like me. for todd blanche presenting his defendant in a much more sympathetic light here. i want to read some other quotes from inside the courtroom. quote, he's in some ways larger than life but he's also here in this courtroom doing what any of us would do, defend himself, and he said that we will call him president trump out of respect. it's the office he's running for right now as the republican nominee. we are waiting for todd blanche to get to the specifics of this case here, but he is so far outlining donald trump as somebody who is unaware that any crime, if there was a crime, would have been committed. todd blanche specifically in response to the prosecutor's time line and 45 minutes of opening statements says, quote,
was a line of protest organizers standing in front of me linking arms so that i could not walk forward. the rest of the students at the rally noticed this. the other 500 students at this violent rally, and they saw me and so they began to taunt me as well because they recognized that i was something that they view as an enemy. finally the taunting continued and escalated and i was just there to record them. the taunting escalated until somebody waved a palestinian flag in my face and jabbed me in my left eye. when i tried to run after him the human blockade of protest organizers continued to stand in front of me to stop me from catching my assailant. so i went to the hospital. >> martha: it is extraordinary. it is stunning. we're looking at the banner they are holding up and liberation. there is a great irony. right behind it is a memorial on campus to those who fought --
give it in cash she shouldn't be complaining about the bonding company. the bonding company would be good for it because i put up the money. i have plenty of money to put up. nobody will be putting up with this. nobody will be listening or coming to new york anymore. businesses will be fleeing because people are treated so badly. it has to be the most unfriendly place to do business and that's why businesses are leaving and people are leaving, as migrants come in and take over our schools and everything else. letitia james case, the worst attorney general in the country, by the way, on -- she keeps a lot of business out of new york and businesses that are here are leaving. that means jobs, a lot of revenue. somebody will step in. the governor, somebody has to step in and do something. businesses are fleeing. letitia james, the money was put up, $175 million. i don't think she is complaining about me but complaining about
attorney's office is less concerned about the waters being muddy in front of the jury over this particular debate over the reimbursement plan for the stormy daniels payment. >> okay, so caroline, we've now been introduced to michael weisselberg. we've been -- allen weisselberg, excuse me, they've talked about michael cohen. they've talked about keith davidson, stormy daniels' attorney at the time. >> hope hicks. >> hope hicks. lotss of names. this sounds like a lot if you are the jury to be trying to understand, to wrap your head around, who did what, who was in which position? >> yeah. >> do you think doing a good job, is this how you would approach it? >> look, they're setting the stage, and with respect to weisselberg, talk about somebody -- this man has given up his whole life in service to trump, right? there is apparently reporting evidence that there are notations that weisselberg made doing the math in terms of how
officials where our officers are stationed at along the route. if any of the students wanted to go off campus to go to wherever they want to go. we advise them to use our safe corridor pathways. thank you. >> so today at the university a professor was barred because he couldn't -- [inaudible]. did the nypd cannot insure somebody can they step in or -- [inaudible] >> the university makes decisions about who they let on their campus or don't let on their campus. they are doing their own analysis and making their own safety determinations. that is not us. they are a private university, private property. their decisions, not ours. if someone is on campus and they are in physical danger, if they are about to be attacked, for example, we'll respond
which he had to pay time for will be central to this case against donald trump. >> i think michael cohen is likely to be a wash here, in that he's going to put in a lot of good evidence for the prosecution and really serve as a narrator, but he's going to be cross-examined aggressively. they're going to go after him, his credibility, his motives here, the fact that he has a book called "revenge." they'll likely him being a pivotal witness is unlikely. he's going to be a narrator. with jurors, you're not just telling a broad story. you have to meet each element. every time, what would a reasonable person think in looking at this? what would be the reasonable question they would have about a piece of evidence? what would be expected corroboration. it's in those details, those small witnesses that corroborate, not necessarily what happened, but just that somebody was in the building.
of demonstrations and to move them to other locations because they feel sometimes thatjewish people are intimidated and have to stay out of the city centre because of those demonstrations. we can now speak to dal babu, former metropolitan police chief superintendent. i want to talk about two separate but interrelated issues. this specific incident that lucy walked us through and the wider handling of demonstrations, we will come to those in a moment. 0n demonstrations, we will come to those in a moment. on this specific incident, what is your assessment? the language the police officer used was wrong and not acceptable, and the police have apologised for that, it was about somebody looking to jewish. there is a wider issue, that
>> and vaughn, there was an objection just now, right? >> reporter: yeah, there was an objection after todd blanche spoke the words, paint this as sinister, but this is a crime, you will hear it is not. at that point todd blanche said entering into a nondisclosure agreement is perfectly legal. that is when the objection was made. the objection was overruled, though. we assume here at this point in time gets to the heart of the extent to which the defense team is going to try to make the case that everything that was done was done legally and that hush money payments are not in themself a crime. the judge merchan just overruled that objection. we'll try to get a better understanding of how that scene played out. to the discussion that you were just having, what todd blanche is trying to paint donald trump as an unwitting actor here. somebody who was unaware of exactly how the ledger was being
this very courthouse when he went and pled guilty to perjury charges stemming from his testimony last year in the civil fraud trial. now, he is currently serving several months in jail at rikers here in new york. and allen weisselberg is somebody who previously served prison time as part of the tax scheme through the trump organization. but allen weisselberg has never testified against specifically donald trump. largely that is what has led him to spending time at rikers and what is notable about weisselberg is the fact that we do not expect him to come forward as a testament either in the defense of donald trump or at the behest of the prosecution because, number one, there were questions about what allen weisselberg would actually testify to, and specifically, this is in the district attorney's interests to not have him testify because michael cohen is alleging that allen weisselberg was the other
