Trump minutes ago, the former president walked out of court trying to put some distance between himself and his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen. Im jake tapper in washington and im anderson cooper, new york. Youve been watching a scene and special live coverage of the people of the state of new york versus dollars while j. Trump, defense promising to puncture the prosecutions theory of the hush money coverup case, trumps lawyers painted cohen as a liar and Stormy Daniels as an operator. For tunis, the prosecution arguing that trumps alleged scheme to keep an adult actress quiet is Election Interference Pure And Simple in those words, i want to turn
expected, but as we ve talked about at this stage, given everything that the whole process that the sides went through, i think this is going to be a fair a neutral jury, and they re going to render it store verdict one way or the other. alan turkheimer. thank you. ellie. as always. excellent. thank you, man thanks. michael. thank you what are your thoughts? hit me up on social media. i ll read some responses throughout the course of the program from the world of x, michael as an attorney, would you put your client on the stand? this client is uncontrollable okay. i mean, you know that he thinks he s his own and there s an adage about this, about the fool who has himself, who s a lawyer for our client i didn t say that correctly, but i think you know what i mean? but he s he is a very difficult client i would. at all costs not won him taking the stand in a case like this. and if he insisted on it, i d probably want to create a record so that i was protected and he couldn t late
got to make sure that they are dotting all those eyes, are putting all those pieces together so that in the final closing argument, his lawyer can stand up and draw on that. i m saying that in the absence of any of that kind of testimony, i think it puts pressure on donald trump. quick response from you on that le you re right though, defense lawyers are allowed to argue inferences, so we re prosecutors and i think that s a much safer way for them to do that. you go folks, you know, this man has a family, any normal common sense human being would be embarrassed about these allegations. that s what happened here. that s enough for you to argue alan turkheimer, if you had participating in selecting this jury for the defense for donald trump, how would you be feeling right now? you feeling good the anti-trump sentiment is so prevalent in the county and during the process, it came to the surface. so all the jurors who expressed that they have been like donald trump, they didn t like wh
now you can tell are openings to make arguments are resonate and you keep that in mind as you go through the witness testimony and the evidence, you use certain language, you have certain perspectives now because really you re just trying to win the case with these 12 jurors. now, those are the only ones that matter. and so jury consultants understand the art of persuasion and how you can help empower jurors into deliberation argue your point of view to win the case? elleithee, i assume that that s the stuff of defense counsel and that on the public dime, you didn t have the ability to hire allen or someone in alan s role, but if if your opponent had, would you try and out the fact that they needed a jury consultant? well, you re right, michael prosecutors don t pay for jury consultants, although they did in the martha stewart cadence case actually, and prosecutors have said publicly, they felt that it was useful. there s no way you would be able to get in the fact that the other
