to do it himself, what the impact could be if he decided to testify and they decided to have him do that. >> everyone should know the defendant, and a defendant like trump does not have to testify. the jury will be told that. that's true of any defendant. he has a right to testify regardless of what his lawyers are strongly advised and i am confident that they will throw their bodies in front of the witness stand, trying to get him not to take the stand and if you are the prosecutors, you are licking your chops, thinking fine, you want to take the stand? great. the amount of cross-examination material, as you know, from having watched him and covered

defense will have to make? >> it's certainly fair game if donald trump chooses to take the witness stand that we would expect him to say if he were to take the stand like, you know, i just didn't want my wife to know or i didn't do it, i don't have affairs, whatever opens the door, as we say, to the ability of the prosecution to come in and bring the evidence that shows, well, actually you have a pattern of behavior, and actually here is what supports our case. this is exactly why so many of us have said very hard to imagine a scenario -- it can happen. but very hard to imagine a scenario where anybody on donald trump's legal team wants him on that witness stand. there's just too much to attack him with including a whole bunch of things he's said inconsistently over the years. >> caroline, is that unusual for folks that don't have the experience that you all do, for example, on what a trial normally looks like -- is it unusual for the judge to say, if the defendant chooses to take the stand, these are six issues

what this is going to look like and what his team has been preparing for is their opening statement, which is going to be pretty short, pretty blunt, but they are trying to also charm and persuade these jurors just like the prosecution is trump for his part. his life is about to change when you walked that courtroom this morning for the next six weeks, we don't know what the outcome of this is going to be, what we do know that for the next six to eight weeks, potentially, he is going to be someone who sits in a courtroom who doesn't have a chance to respond in real-time in those moments as he is watching people who were incredibly close to him get up on that witness stand and say things that he disagrees with, that he contradicts, and things that are incredibly personal to have these allegations and these are people like hope hicks, his former top aide, and one of his closest confidants, michael cohen, his former attorney, david, who we may hear from today is going to be fascinating. this is someone that trump is known for decades. she used to publish a magazine called trump's style, and he may be getting on the stand to talk about trump's direct involvement in this agreement. >> he could be a critical witness in all of this. david,

this is quite the story. even though all of us here know it, we've talked about it, but if you're a juror sitting there, you heard about sex and a cover up and back room deals and payoffs and now david pecker, the guy at the helm of the national enquirer, somebody who had done this on a number of occasions, who was central to the case that the prosecution is making talk about what is likely the importance of what we're hearing right now on the stand in that manhattan courtroom. >> it sets the stage and the prosecutor in the opening statement basically started off with that trump tower meeting. where michael cohen and trump and david pecker had this agreement where david pecker would be the eyes and ears of the campaign and look out for those negative stories. give cohen a heads up and try to suppress it. so it's important he is the lead off witness because it sets the

for his freedom. >> david henderson, let me get your take to what we've heard from donald trump and how it plays into all of this. >> i find myself thinking, chris, if i was on this jury team -- not the jury team -- the trial team, how would i feel about this, it makes meer in ous vows. jurors are influenced by what happens in the press. what i see that makes me nervous are two things, him talking about how long it took to bring the case and talking about the fact that other agencies didn't bring the case. i'm not persuaded by that. none of us on the panel are persuaded by that. some jurors sometimes will be persuaded by that. here is the catch. he's very good at making these speeches outside of the courtroom. from what i've seen from him so far, he's not very good at testifying on the stand under the constraints of the courtroom and overall between those statements and between what his lawyer said during opening statements today, they have set a really high burden for themselves with respect to
