Claiming part of his brain was eaten by a worm . Yes, this is a real story this morning all right. 6 00 a. M. Here in washington, here is a live look at New York City where Stormy Daniels will be back on the stand today. Morning, everyone, im casey haunts. Its wonderful to have you with us. Donald trumps Hush Money Trial resumes in just a few hours with Stormy Daniels back on the stand. A source telling cnn the trumps lawyers are planning a longer and more forceful crossexamination to help protect trumps reputation. After daniels raise the possibility their alleged Sexual Encounter in 2006 wasnt entirely consensual. Are brynn is outside the courthouse in Lower Manhattan this morning with the latest brynn, what . Do you expect today yeah. Listen, casey, this is why the Defense Attorneys asked for the strouhal to be over with, asking the judge basically to rule because of what Stormy Daniels was testifying to. Of course, that was denied but we know that the Defense Attorneys were about 90 minutes into their cross its examination on tuesday when we last had cte and they still had more to go. They werent expecting to have a long crossexamination, but like you just said, after her testimony on direct and basically they said thats going to take a little bit wild longer because they want to restore the president , former president s credibility. They want to who makes sure they address the fact that they believed Stormy Daniels was insinuating to jurors that this was not a consensual relationship. So theres a little bit more to go with Stormy Daniels on the stand. And of course, after the defense is done, then were going to see redirect from the prosecutors. Now listen while she was on the stand, you know, there were some really bombshell moments, really people were taken aback by everything that she was saying. She was feisty when the defense was starting to question her with a break in the core, lets see how she is on the stand today. Does she seem more composed . Is the president more in tune into what she is saying as he was seeing sort of keeping his eyes closed as we have seen him in the past with other with other witnesses so yeah, thats what were expecting today and, you know, we dont know if shell finish on the stand today. It could be a Long De Of Testimony from her again, and its unclear who again is up next. But certainly we are waiting waiting here to see all right. Brynn gingras up for us. Thank you very much for that. Are at our panels here. Federal prosecutor Elliot Williams, my ball senior political correspondent, the wall street journal, former Trump Administration official. Sure. Michael singleton and meghan hayes, former special assistant to President Trump so lets just take a minute to recap where are we . Were President Biden, excuse me. Lift to recap where we were in this trial what we heard from Stormy Daniels. Theres no cameras in court. Of course. But its the retelling of an incident that daniels disclosed to Anderson Cooper in a 2018 interview . It started off all about him just talking about himself and hes like, have you seen my new magazine . He was showing you his own picture on the cover, right and so its like this. Does this normally work for you and he looked very is taken take it back like he didnt really understand. I was saying i was just talking about yourself normally burke and i was like someone should take that magazine and spank you with it. So he turned around and pulled his pants down a little. Now he had underwear on stuff and i just gave him a couple of slots okay. So Elliot Williams, maybe its a little too early for this couple swats. But what does it not exactly. I know but this change in strategy from trump, because what she expanded on from that story that she told anderson back in 2018, was this idea that she felt threatened, right . She acknowledged in the testimony that, yes, it was consensual. She didnt say no. But she talked about how there was this level of fear she talked about blacking out despite a lack of alcohol and drugs. And this seems to have motivated the trump team to say, hey, weve got to do something here to defend Donald Trumps reputation. Theyre going to do a longer cross examination. Is that smart . Its risky for them to do it. So the whole point of crossexamination is it always needs to save within the scope of the direct examination. You just attack a witness based don things that you heard in the prior examination. Now, usually crossexaminations tend to be shorter than direct examination. You keep it tight. A punchy like youve seen on television yes, no questions, leading questions, and then get out of there. The more you have a witness on the stand, even when you have Something Like this where theres a contradiction section, you run the risk of number one, opening up something that isnt great for your own sayyed. And number two, and this is far more acute here appearing to boolean badger the witness, and its not clear regardless of what we may say watching this from the outside, its not clear how the jury is reacting to her and an attorney sort of being seen as pushing too hard, fighting too hard with a witness can really backfire. So in many respects, yes, its probably worth a few questions to clean it up, but then get out of there because they have plenty of time to make arguments about what she says later on in trial yeah sure. Michael singleton, was it a mistake for the judge . Let all this come out into the courtroom . I think so this is salacious fodder, if you will. What does this have to do with the case where is the smoking gun here that yeah. Its embarrassing. The donald trump. It sounds bad. All the headlines, all the magazines that have been printed, were talking about it but what does this have to do with the alleged crime that theyre alleging the president , former president , committed. I think this feeds into his argument of being persecuted. I think it feeds into his argument. These are budget new york democrats coming after me because they dont like me and im not saying that. Thats an accurate arguments. Meghan, thanks to like, do you agree but dont meghan, by the way, is with former message to biden not trump. Thats my mistake dont you think though that this is going because he said that a fair never happened. And so this is just pointing out that he the lying like shes giving very explicit details to point out to people that he is actually lying. And if hes lying about this, what else is he lying about . If theres anyone out there who believes donald trump is an honest person, i have a so you no one believed. But that is totally fair. But in the court of law and a jury, they have to go on the facts. Theyre supposed to be impartial here and be giving him a fair trial. So i think that they are doing what they need to be doing. I mean, you are an expert at this. I definitely am not, but i feel like that is why theyre asking these details. Do i think its salacious . Yes. Do i think its unnecessary . Yes. But we are sitting on the outside. We are not in that jury box really quickly whether they had been liaison, whether you call it romantic, sexual, whatever else is a central fact at trial, you have to establish that there was some kind of relationship and that the Trump Campaign or pardon me, that the Trump Organization tried to suppress it from voters. Thats fine. Right . The question is, how much detail you need to provide about that. And were the prosecution just to say, did you have sex with that man, mr. Trump she could say yes. No further questions. Then the trump team could put on a witness that denied it. And now you have an equal dispute of facts, right . Right. You have to get some Additional Details out there on the record that makes it harder for the defense to rebut, but but again, to michael, im totally with you. Once you start getting into the realm of he had polygonal is of mac thanking him and he had pert plus but not but old spice is, but i just the extra details. I dont know how the jurys a quick last word to you. Well, its obviously as elliott was saying, its a different case for the jury than it is for the public. And thats part of the problem for trump is theres a public audience and theres the jury audience. Obviously, if they didnt believe that this had been somewhat damaging, they wouldnt be planning to go on the attack and try to restore his reputation. They obviously feel that for the audience both inside and outside the courtroom, this testimony was somewhat damaging. It its salacious and i think people are tired of a lot of this thats so many years old, but its also a reminder to the public of a lot of stuff that they havent heard about in awhile. Yeah, for sure. I had really stored this all very far reaches of my brain, wasnt expecting that revealing again, but here we are all doing it together. All right, coming up next, President Biden, warning hell cut off Weapons Shipments israel, if they invade rafah is most Populated Areas plus clashes and tel aviv between police and hostage families. This is one of the five things you have to see this morning and a terrifying night in tennessee, at least two People Killed by tornadoes adult film star Stormy Daniels revealed salacious details about the former president during her first day on the Witness Stand.

Monte, sundays at nine on cnn welcome back, President Biden, making headlines in an exclusive and wide ranging interview with cnn, warning israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu, there will be consequences if he orders a major invasion of rafah ive made it clear that if they go into rafah, they havent gone in rafah yet. If they go into rafah im not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with rafah. Ive made it clear to bibi and the war cabinet theyre not going to get our support if in fact they go on these Population Centers were not walking away from israels security. Rockaway, israels ability to wage war in those areas all right molly ball, this is a remarkable moment for President Biden mean this is the first time in american president has done anything along these lines in terms of israel, how do you see the significance of this . Its already rippling across israel ben gvir, the National Security itamar ben minister Itamar Ben Gvir went on x this morning and said hamas, hearts. Joe biden, i mean, this is new territory. Yeah, its clearly a Breaking Point in the already very, very afraid relationship between biden and netanyahu, between the us and israel and it tells you just how little he feels hes able to communicate with b be in private, right . This is a message that i think the us and the president have repeatedly tried to convey to the israelis privately and it clearly has not been successful and so theyve taken this, this quite extreme step to say, even though these weapons have been authorized by congress, were going to put a pause on them because weve told you not to do this the president is, in . An impossible situation here where hes already getting a lot of criticism, even from some democrats who are strongly pro israel at the same time, hes not getting any credit politically from the many on the left who feel hes been to accommodating to israel. And so the whole question for him is just what are the results of this . Conflict . How does this end up . I think thats where everything is going to what it hangs on. Megan hayes and this is a significant policy shift. Do you think hes going to get credit for it with the Progressive Left . And is it worth the risk that he is taking in terms of the us relationship with israel and look, the reality is theres a wide swath of the Democratic Party who are supportive of israel and who are not on the same sayyed as these campus protesters. So im not sure hes gonna get credit with the progressive. Im not sure its also a major policy shift. I think hes been saying for a long time, therell be consequences. I think just detailing out what those consequences are more broadly now, what hes doing, but i do think that he he genuinely cared about human life and he knows that theres an issue and in god that he is trying to protect more human life and he is saying we are not going to be complicit and youre killing more people. So its not necessarily a policy shift. I think this is where he has hes being more empathetic and hes showing that and i also disagree a little bit, but he doesnt say to netanyahu what hes doing. I think that they are having a lot of the private conversations, but i think hes now talking the American Public that these are the conversations were having and we are going to hold them accountable. This is a bit of a political conundrum for the president. Last night, bit i statement i didnt focus group with some jewish students last night to understand their experiences on this. And im not complete with the data, the qualitative data yet so over some of the t
