allowed. a lot of this hinges on whether or not former president trump who you say heading to court earlier this morning decides to testify. we he has said he wants to do. in the past he said he wanted to do that and dissuaded by his attorneys. we'll see what happens with this. andy mccarthy is with us as well. andy, give me a sense of your reaction to this. not a big surprise he won't allow the actual tape. >> all this wrangling is being done now before open statements. the lawyers really want to know before they start making commitments to the jury, what they are going to be allowed to do and not to do. i always think the biggest advantage a defense has in a criminal trial is they don't have to do anything. they don't have to prove anything. and i think it would be perilous if they were to promise the jury that they would hear from president trump during the trial. they are better off keeping that

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

illegal or legal on whether or not he's convicted by a jury. they made a calculated effort to seek to hide information so they could win the election so it wouldn't come out. that is i'm sure what the calculus was. >> robert, just wondering your thoughts, the very few political candidates are 100% pure without any kind of issues, very few. but in this case, robert, there was a lot to the catch and kill plan. especially after the access hollywood tape. what do you think this would have influenced? >> well, i think matthew hit it on the head. i mean, look, every campaign starts knowing that you've got vulnerabilities, and you have a research department that documents those vulnerabilities. they may be bad votes. they may be bad loans. you may look at your opponent and say, oh, they found out they

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

>> reporter: again, there are a lot of big question marks, exactly what the prosecution was going to try to argue about donald trump's knowledge ahead of the 2016 election about the payment to stormy daniels, and we can tell you now based off of prosecutor matthew ka lang low opening statements inside of the courtroom literally in the last 60 seconds, he directly says that michael cohen had discussed with trump the stormy daniels story, in october of 2016 and that those conversations led to donald trump being frustrated and acknowledging that he did not want the story to come out, that it would be devastating to his campaign. for timing purposes, this was just days after the access hollywood tape came out in 2016 when of course there were republican allies, the rnc that were concerned about donald trump going on to be the nominee over the course of that month.

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

it's very unfair juror number nine returned to court today, worried about media attention. they went into private quarters with the judge along with attorneys from both sides. they had a conversation. they came out. juror number nine is remaining intact. we saw that court was going to go into recess at 2:00 p.m. instead of 12:30 now because of a dental emergency for one of the jurors. it was going to be from 2:00 p.m. because of passover. 2:00 p.m. recess tomorrow as well. 12:30 today. let me lay out what opening statements will look like. the prosecution will paint a story about the final days leading up to the november election, the desperation from the former president to win the election, the release of the "access hollywood" tape. they cannot submit the tape itself or play the tape for the jury, but they can submit the transcript as evidence. they're going to talk about david pecker approaching michael cohen talking about how stormy daniels is going to come forward

Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

he said is not that this case is about falsified business records. he said this case is about a conspiracy to corrupt the 2016 presidential election, and then he goes on to describe not one but three schemes that they tried to kill, the stormy daniels story, the karen mcdougal story and the story of a doorman that there was a meeting between donald trump and michael cohen and david pecker on august 15th to discuss all of the ways that they would work together to hide and conceal from the public these disparaging stories that would affect the outcome of the 2016 election. and they went on red alert when the access hollywood tape came out. so the falsification of the business records is really just a means to the end of corrupting the 2016 election, and i think that is not only what makes this a crime, it makes it a felony and also brings great jury appeal, from a trivial mistake on business records, instead to a much larger scheme to corrupt the election.
