Im not sure that anybody has ever seen anything like this before. Day two of testimony in trumps hush money election interference trial. And the judge has already had it with trump and his legal team. Meanwhile, i was in the courtroom as the first witness, david pecker, gave riveting testimony about his interactions with trump. I will tell you what i saw and heard. And that is where we begin tonight.
