stephanie ruhle, you still hav a show to do tonight at 11 eastern. we ve got lots to go lots to go now it s time to hand the whee to our colleague lawrenc o donnell. thank you, rachel donald trump was speaking, a you, know during your coverage and after the judge said i court today that he wanted the parties to this case to stop saying inflammatory things donald trump went right afte the judge and his wife today so, tonight, in that speech. so, we ll see, the judge could react to that very quickly after setting the preceden today in today s arraignment for, you know, don t do that kind of thing. so, we ll see what happens next we are entering potentially a new area of consequences for that kind of behavior for that particular politician. we are. thank you, rachel. thank you. today, donald trump took the longest trip of his life it was from his apartment in midtown manhattan to the courthouse in lower manhattan, where he would be fingerprinte and discover the contents of
it s not like a civil case where he has to be deposed he s a right to remain silen and he s going to remain silent, just as violent as he was toda except for the brief questions that the judge asked him jeremy, as we go forward, what would you be expecting in terms of sequences of motions. obviously they will want to go to, don t trump has talked about moving this case t staten island. that is what he considers change of venue. just that one for example, wha is the likelihood of that bein taken seriously by the judge i think that goes nowhere fast it is not going to state island, it is staying in manhattan. let s be clear about that. i can be certain the judge i going to review the grand jury minutes, there s going to be the proper discovery, th defense is going to challeng likely the statute o limitations, the underlyin bump up if you will that the grand jury decided to raise it from a misdemeanor to felony and i m going to be shocked if something similar, called clean motion, a t
warning in white-colla criminal cases like this no. there is the so-called parke warning, which is typicall given at an arraignment to mak sure that the defendan understands that, if they do not return to court, and the case goes on, that the judge has the authority to order the trial outside the president of the defendant. it is a way to make sure, in addition to bail, particular early when bail is set and the are free, to make sure the come back. but to your point, absolutel not. and it is true that there is a continuum of sanctions, if you would, that the court ca impose on disruptive defendants. it is really on reserve for th most extreme cases where defendants act out in court. as kathryn, said it could be
the alleged affairs. michael cohen did it for donal trump, because he had sold his soul to donald trump and that s not me, that s what he said to the american people and really, streaming around the globe. so, the personal attacks on him, i have to now try to b cautious myself. i don t want to offend the judge. he s absolutely right. lawyers and people in th courtroom now that we have a jury, it s due process, donald trump is presumed innocent until proven guilty. we ve got to be careful. but i am going to defend his credibility, because i know ho he has turned his life around. and ever since, he s bee substantiated and corroborated in every way possible, including the documents an emails and text messages tha we saw when we were at the prosecutor s the last fe months lanny, i d love to just squeeze in a commercial brea here, if you let me, because i have a couple more questions o the other side of it thank you, lawrence we re gonna be right back with lanny davis qulipta gets rig
that in a moment but let s do it right now. so, michael cohen, your name did not come up today, but michael cohen s name came up b the trump lawyers, in defense, this was in defense of the prosecutors pointing out to th judge that donald trump ha issued homicidally threatening imagery of him with a baseball bat slamming into alvin bragg. donald trump has attacked alvi bragg but. the district attorney s wife which has never happen i history, attack the judge, which out of the judge already knew about and on and on, all of thes things that donald trump has said publicly that are, that n one s ever said about thei prosecutors or their judges in any criminal case ever anywhere. and their defense, the trump lawyer defense was michael cohen. michael cohen, every time he talks to the grand jury, every time you talk to the
