Lawrence president trumps New York Criminal Trial resumes in a few hours. His defense team is expected to continue their crossexamination of former National Inquirer publisher david pecker. Brian all right. Todd piro is Joran Van Der Slooting down feverishly in the Overflow Room where he sees multiple angles, does your hand hurt today, todd . I wrote too many notes yesterday. Today will be more circumspect. Yesterday, perhaps, thank you, thank you for laughing at me. Perhaps the biggest take away from yesterdays testimony was that david pecker killed stories for many people over the years including many, many politicians. Expect that to be a key line of crossexamination from trumps attorneys today. Now, yesterday, pecker said he still considers trump a friend. Even though though they havent spoken in years. Today he mostly testified about alleged catch and kill deals to protected president trump. But, near the end of his testimony, he actually called trump his mentor. And even told the story about trump trying to help him when an employee died from anthrax letter mailed to the company in 2019. Breathtaking what went on in this room you saw what went on, it was breathtaking. And amazing testimony. This is a trial that should have never happened. This is a case that should have never been filed. And it was really incredible. An incredible day. Opened your eyes. Pecker spent most of the day detailing the negotiations three years earlier to buy Playboy Playmate karen macdougalls story that claims she had a 10 month affair with trump. Testified swapped favors for years over damaging stories that could hurt trump long before he ran for president in exchange for trump giving pecker exclusives for the inquirer. But, notably, this practice was not reserved for just trump. Pecker also detailed many of the people he was involved in killing stories for from Arnold Schwarzenegger to tiger woods. Even testifying about quashing an affair he said former chicago mayor rahm emanuel had. And he said he quashed stories for many, many politicians over the years. For their part, prosecutors show there was conspiracy between pecker, Michael Cohen and trump to silence macdougall for political purposes, not out of embarrassment and family concerns. As a way of thanking him for handling karen macdougall. Pecker testified trump invited him to the white house for dinner. When asked about the trial, President Biden responded, quote i havent had a chance to watch the Court Proceedings because ive been campaigning. Im going to head back into the courtroom in about an hour and a half from now. And, guys, i fully expect todays testimony to go as follows. I think crossexamination is going to focus right out of the gate at 9 30 on the politicians that david pecker quashed stories for. And then, because juries are human, they know the weekend is upon us. Dont be surprised if crossexamination ends early. Dont expect 8 hours of crossexamination. I think the defense is going to want to force the prosecution to put on a witness as we head into the weekend, so that that witness for those last couple of hours is the last thing that they have going into the weekend. The jury is thinking my god, why are they dragging this out . You have to keep in mind i have impaneled juries, mock juries. The things they gravitate toward or many instances how the lawyers treat them. So far yesterday was very drawn out from the prosecution. The defense was very quick and snappy. I understand thats a function of crossexamination. But, dont be surprised if that happens. You want to earn points with the jury regardless of the facts and the law. Brian at least one juror, right . If you are donald trump. Lawrence thanks, todd. Ainsley we did like your notes, todd by the way. Lets bring in kerri kupec urbahn. You have been following this in the courtroom for many days. David pecker talked about killing other stories and announced that certain people, celebrities had affairs also that he said Stormy Daniels or trump told him that every time Stormy Daniels uses trumps name, thats a Million Dollars penalty . Yeah. And apparently david pecker was giving donald trump a heads up about that story since 1998. Which was long before donald trump announced his intent to run for president. But, yeah, ainsley, i mean, it was really interesting. We learned a lot about other celebrities who have done the same thing tiger woods, rahm emanuel. Former president obamas chief of staff, Arnold Schwarzenegger, its a pretty common practice. Lawrence katkerri, the prosecutor didnt lie but the lie of omission. When they did the cross of pecker they didnt bring any of this up. It was the defense that poked holes in it how does this play on the jury. This is donald trump. Out of the ordinary. Does not happen. And then you have the defense come right behind them and show it was actually pretty quite frequent that this happened. The entire case is misleading. Still unclear what this underlying crime is that donald trump is supposedly was supposedly trying to conceal. We talked about this all week it. Feels like they are looking for it as they go. And, so, again, if they are honing in on this New York State law, which says that it is a crime, a misdemeanor by the way, to promote or a candidate for office by unlawful means or in conspiracy to influence an election by unlawful means, one, conspiracy to influence an election is called running for office. And, two, what are those unlawful means . And they still have not identified what that is. Brian they want to say that they was successful yesterday, politico writes, in tying Donald Trumps need to suppress these stories with a 2016 campaign. Do you agree with that . I dont still see what the crime is. We are in a court of law. It is not a crime to enter into an nda. It is not a crime to do a catch and kill scheme. And it is not a crime to suppress bad stories about yourself, whether you are running for president or not. Guy maybe thats the point. Because they are going to try to convince a jury many of whom probably have a negative view already of donald trump that there is a lot of sorted stuff going on. This was ugly, this was unseemly. Trust us, this equals a crime in the aggregate. Seems like thats kind of the case theyre making. Definitely. They are trying to equate in the jurors minds dirty equals illegal. It doesnt. Coming from the right. Pressured bill barr for not prosecuting certain fan favorites. And, you know, he would always go back to the very simple question. What is the crime . Where is the evidence . I was constantly have to court of Public Opinion decisions doj saying that just because something is dirty, it feels bad, it doesnt look good doesnt mean its a crime. And we deal in evidence and we deal in crimes. Lawrence kerr kerri, how could they put a witness i assume the trump knew about the alleged crime. They cant. Brian i assume trump knew about the deal Michael Cohen was cutting. Even if he did, again, is that a crime . Its not. If donald trump worked to suppress a bad story and paid for it personally and used his personal attorney to do so. I still dont see what the crime is. Brian see the importance of what you are saying here its important for the defense to clearly tell the jury. You might not like that story. Never happened to you. You cant believe this. Its not a crime. Its not a problem. If we look at the Bimbo Eruptions with the clinton era, they had a whole team to handle women that came up and made accusations. They werent paying off. They were threatening them not to come out. Ainsley sorry, did you want to respond . Go ahead. Ainsley talking about the Supreme CourtBig Day Yesterday and politico had a story and said that trump Supreme Court lawyers had a good day. Do you agree . I think both sides got tough questions i think its because both sides had pretty extreme positions. Donald trump said absolute immunity the Department Of Justice said zero immunity. It seemed that the Supreme Court is probably going to land somewhere in the middle, like some kind of qualified immunity distinguishing between official acts and personal acts. Brian and do you think that this whole thing with alvin bragg in new york, plays a role in the need for immunity because now these State Prosecutors want to be famous like what is happening in arizona and they try to get famous and try to full phi candidates and it seems we could have 50 different agendas attacking every candidate or current president . Well, the Immunity Issue before the Supreme Court would just touch the federal cases and federal charges. But, to your point, brian, what was a remarkable statement made by the Department Of Justice lawyer yesterday was that well, prosecutors dont prosecute for political reasons, and i thought how can you possibly say that with a straight face with what were watching not only in new york but the person who made that argument has been part of bob muellers team which was one of the most politically driven investigations in american history. And i thought i cant believe you are expecting us to sit here and believe that. And he said yeah, we take oaths about that kind of stuff. Brian do you realize when everyone talks about donald trump, the chaos with donald trump the chaotic thing was really stem from the russia investigation that never stopped. Every time there was an infrastructure day. There was a russian eruption. All of which ended up being totally fictitious and no one ever apologized or acknowledged they got it wrong. Lets not forget weigh that did. The Bob Mullen Team what they would do is selectively leak Bad Information to the press and then donald trump would react. Angrily, not surprisingly because he was being accuse 6 something he hadnt done. React poorly. Then they would use his reaction as further evidence that he was colluding or obstructing. Lawrence unbelievable. It is unbelievable. Brian flashback you gave us all. Lawrence are you going to be back in the court today . I am. Brian make sure todd pays attention. He has been great. He has been great. Guy thanks, kerri. Now to this crisis at our southern border. Border patrol gearing up for brand new migrant surge. Ainsley Hundred Dretedz of people packing the train cars in mexico heading to el paso and eagle pass. Brian i dont think they all have tickets do they . Peter doocy is live at the white house. Hey, peter. Peter they do not all have tickets, brian. This train is translates to the beast. When you look at the video pretty crazy. There doesnt appear to be many if any seats but hundreds or more are riding atop these freight cars through mexico heading north toward the u. S. Border. If many of them make it all the way to the border, its going to undo recent bind world boasting about Border Encounters going down. In fact, it could put Border Encounters under this president closer to the 8 million mark. Right now it is at 7,930,000 and 100. And its not even House Democrats the president must act and bring order to the southern border. We are calling today on leaders in both the house and senate to pass legislation to give Border Patrol back the Expulsion Authority that expired last year. And about half of everybody surveyed in the new harris poll said they would support deporting illegal Border Crossers en masse. 42 of people who say they are democrats. And this is a change which its going to require some maneuvering from democrats who work here at the white house who have been very sensitive for the last couple years to have an Immigration Policy that is more humane than the one that got barack obama tagged as the deporter in chief. Back to you. Brian tough situation. Thats why his people are looking at it. They are looking at things they could do. Well, go back and see what you undid and then see if you can do it again. Lawrence almost four years later. Peter to your point there, brian. We had been Hearing Trial Balloon Someone at the white house floated a couple weeks ago that there was going to be a big Executive Order addressing Border Crossers at the end of april or by the end of april. Thats coming up. Brian la ha ha lets see. Guy they are waiting. Lawrence maybe still poll testing. Ainsley we covered that for one day and never heard anything else. Right . Peter they must have put it out and not liked what people were saying about it. Ainsley okay. Brian peter opted for on his apple watch. They asked what you want on your face i dont want the date. Peter wanted the date on the face of his apple watch. Thats what gets me. Lawrence what do you want on yours. Brian i want the time. Guy guy its his own face. Looking good there, brian. Brian just a mirror. Ainsley either George Castanza or own face. Brian is there a difference . Guy former Athletic Director at a high school in maryland now facing charges in connection with to an ai generated impersonation scheme involving the schools principal. Ainsley this is unbelievable. Madeleine rivera has all the details. You are going to want to listen to this story. Madeleine get this police say the former Athletic Director used Artificial Intelligence to impersonate the pikesville principal and created fake recordings to make like he made race and antisemitic comments about the student and staff. This led to the principal being temporarily removed rather and the school got hatefilled messages and calls. After investigation was launched by the school and police, their findings concluded the recordings were not authentic. They allege they were made by 31yearold darian. Officers believe they have a motive. Through their investigation, detectives allege mr. Darian, who was the At
