This is cnn new central, cnn Special Coverage Of The Trump Trial starts now moments ago, donald trump, as you could see, theyre leaving trump tower to the head here where we are outside of the courthouse in minutes, the likely final hold Defense Witness for donald trump will be under oath and on the Witness Stand yet again, well see if it goes better than it did the last time. Robert costello provoked a dressing down hello, from the judge over his courtroom behavior after just minutes on the stand yesterday, he has now been warned not to roll his eyes, say, jeez, after a ruling not, to stare down the judge, all helpful tips. I was in that room when all that happened yesterday is t
and i think, just the way you know, hearings take on lives of their own. and i think he s only gotten more important. because, obviously, one of the big republican talking points has been, no one, neither one had any interactions with the president. well, sondland did. and his testimony therefore, i think, is even more important, if, you know, we can get the truth of what those interactions really were like. you know, demeanor matters. contradiction to other witnesses matter. cross-examination skills matter. i mean, let s see him testify in public. i think it s going to be really important. do you think it is important jeffrey and i were discussing this yesterday, that democrats and republicans get the firsthand witnesses in there, whether it s mick mulvaney, the chief of staff, or rudy giuliani, or gordon sondland, or others? i mean, it does seem like there s a bit of a distance, a secondhandness to a lot of this.
