Hi, everyone, its 4 00 in new york. The expresident today on the verge of snatching jail time from the jaws of civil liability. Donald trump taking The Stand Today in His Civil Fraud Trial in new york after being ordered by the judge to testify about comments he made regarding a court clerk. Now, you all know this. We dont normally air his remarks for fear of amplifying them, particularly when they are so clearly tied to threats of violence and intimidation. Were going to play them for you right now, because they led to near immediate liability for the expresident. This judge well, because this judge is a very partisan judge with a person whos sitting very partisan, sitting alongside of him, perhaps even more partisan than he is. On the stand for just one minute after saying that, trump claimed that he wasnt talking about the person sitting next to the judge. He was actually talking about Michael Cohen. Who at the time was in the middle of his second day of testimony. The judge was not
witnesses in the doj election case, but he is free to attack the special counsel. and israeli raises its flag in gaza city, a highly provocative move. the united states stand alone in vetoing a resolution calls for a ceasefire. plus, grim, that s how one pollster describes his latest findings. young voters, black voters, lgbtq voters all currently giving higher grades to trump than biden. what s going on? i ll ask him. i m john king in for erin burnett. trump silenced, a d.c. court of appeals upholding most of a gag order in the federal 2020 election case. the three judges say trump can no longer target witnesses or single out individuals related to the court proproceedings, writing, some of trump s statements pose a significant and imminent threat to the fair adjudication of the criminal proceeding. trump has repeatedly gone after potential witnesses, calling mike pence delusional, mocking bill barr as slow-thinking and lethargic and he tore into mark meadows, writing,
hi, everyone. it s 4:00 in new york. it is raining news. we start with trump on the stand. it was short on substance, short on decourt um, and very short on truth. yet overflowing with deflection and grgrievance. donald trump s testimony in the $250 million civil fraud lawsuit in new york, though historic, felt familiar in some ways. except for one key difference. the arena. it was not a fox news sit-down or a meandering political speech, but donald trump sat down in a courtroom. and in courtrooms, facts and the rule of law still matter. they reign supreme. in that domain today, trump was repeatedly admonished by the man who will determine the fate of his business empire and brand and the future of the size of his family s wealth. time and time again the judge has used his authority as a judge to interrupt donald trump s everyone is out to get me, to run out the clock on testimony that was limit 20d a single day. that was today. the question was andet me ask again, became fam
week s program, i used pretty strong language to slam the new york times for swallowing hamas propaganda with that initial headline, israelis kill hundreds in hospital, palestinians say, which was flatly untrue. the day after the show, the times essentially apologized saying in an editor s note the paper relied too heavily on claims by hamas and did not make clear those claims could not be legally verified. times editors should have taken more care and been more explicit sit about what information could be verified. i give the paper credit, but the damage, the enflaming of the region, cannot be undone. and cnn has now run a correction to its first story blaming israel for the hospital explosion which was caused by an errant islamic jihad rocket. as israel conducts its second incursion into gaza, the hamas terrorists have now released two israeli hostages, an 85-year-old woman and a 79-year-old woman. just think about that for a minute, amid all the rush of other war news.
be done to bullies, which is to knock them on their ass. chris christie among them of the weaklings is in a position to do it. do you think we ll see that from chris christie? i think there s no doubt about it. this is kind of what christie was built for. his whole career has been built on this persona as charld said, bombastic, saying things, dispensing the hard truth that nobody else will do. he s the guy who is really built for that sort of combat, if you will. and he s the only one who has the guts, i think, who has shown at this point to take on donald trump. everybody else who is in this race right now has skirted around saying, i don t really want to pay attention to trump. i m thinking about the future, this and that. and i think steve schmidt has a point there.
