former chief judge for the us middle district court of pennsylvania with me here is john miller, former new york deputy police commissioner for intelligence and counterterrorism. cnn senior legal analyst elie honig injury consultant jill huntley, taylor. so first of all, we re waiting on the judge to rule about what they can ask them about how much they can ask about past cases. when do you think that s going to happen and how likely is it they re gonna get everything they want. so i think it s going to happen monday morning, probably before openings. the test here is not whether the other information that prosecutors might want to cross-examine trump about show that he s a terrible guy. that in fact is supposed to be not the purpose. the purpose is to show that he s dishonest, that he lacks trustworthiness. so if you look at the various things prosecutors are trying to get in, i think the judge will allow prosecutors to ask him about the civil fraud trial, perhaps defaming e.
