fraud, that he lied about the value of his properties, that he lied to the authorities, that he lied in financial statements, that he did it for over a decade, and that he furnished, and this matters for the law, false information to banks, insurance companies, as well as state authorities and then he would try to get favorable loans and cheat on his taxes. pattern of fraud and deception that was used by mr. trump and the trump organization for their own financial benefit is astounding. claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal. it s the art of the steal. and there can not be different rules for different people in this country or in this state. and former presidents are no different. no one is above the law. that is the statement. that is the attorney general who has proven so aggressive in so many cases, without fear of favor. she s pursued people in both parties, and while the nature of her work means that some of this is va

Right now. Hi, ari. Hi, nicole, thanks so much. Today marks a serious, even grim day for defendant donald trump, who of course, was indicted, booked, and had his mug shot taken very famously in an election case regarding possible crimes in the 2020 race in the georgia rico case. He was also indicted by federal Prosecutor Jack Smith in two cases which carry serious charges but, like the georgia case, are actually not currently on track to go to trial by the election. But for trump, the only case where it now matters that he is a criminal defendant is in new york, where trumps trial reached its Inflection Point today as d. A. Braggs team has just told the judge today that the d. A. s office has proven its case based on the evidence and ethus intoning the well known phrase, quote, your honor, the people rest. Thats today in the only case that looks to be going to trial by the eelection. That means the prosecutors literally rest their case and take the position theyve supplied enough evide
her campaign promise was, i promise you, i will get it. i i want to add something new that hasn t been said before. she bob costello hasthis c changed this case dramatically. asi think that bragge know now o only has two possible resultst, from that. number one ,i he can say, all right, i m going to try to make the case without cohen. he cannot use cohen as ahen witness anymore.as a witn that would be unethical because of the testimony that costello gave or he could say, look, i have to drop. may he may not be able to make it without cohen, but if he can t make it without cohen, he can t make it because no ethical prosecutor is allowed to put on as a witness, somebody w who has told the lies and his sountry himself so much. so i think that bob costello, th it s a game changer.here. i think maybe that s the reason for the delay here. i think ethical experts are nowi telling bragge, wait a minute, you cannot use cohen. so if you can make it through, .
i would assume, i guess be the star witness for the prosecution. and going in to detail, saying that, you know, he called them up after he saw cohen on tv stating things that he knew that he was going to say to the grand jury contrary to what he told them. not the least of which that he represented donald trump and it was michael cohen saiding he did that on his own? wouldn t that be a direct contradiction? doesn t the d.a. have to pay attention to the fact that you have somebody known to be a liar, a convict, versus somebody coming in and saying no, that never happened? how does a jury react to that? you ve done over 100 cases in new york. yeah, i mean, new york jurors are very savvy. i know they re banking on the fact that they might not like donald trump. they re too smart. new york jurors have all the trust in the jury. at the end of the day, they re going to do what they think is
