Martha good afternoon. This is Martha Maccallum and this is definitely the st story today, Huge Blockbuster News coming out of the courtroom in Downtown ManhattanConnor Mcdavid everybody has been waiting for. It is day 13 a former President Trumps Criminal Trial and this has become incredibly intense in their because Stormy Daniels is basically spilled everything she wanted to say after the trump team had asked to have her testimony limited. s another the trump request is in for a mistrial because they are seeing theres all this prejudicial information that the jury has heard and we can put that back in the genies bottle can recall it absolutely prejudicial saying that and that what that means is that it was designed not to serve the acclimation of the charges but simply to inflame the jury against the defendant. Prosecutors have spent most of the day focus on the 2006 Sexual Encounter that Stormy Daniels claimed happened in this case, the encounter and wander trump denies and a lot of detail that she hasnt given that denial may be is clouded somewhat in the jurys mind based on what we have heard today. Remember, this case is about whether or not he has many payment was covered up with false Business Records. She has said she had no interaction with cohen or trump during this time period so she really cant speak to that. Watch. Mr. Trump we didnt put construction clause, the purchase sheet rock, the electrical cords. The Legal Expense that we paid was put down as Legal Expense. Theres nothing else you can say. Martha Laura Ingram Is Standby but first are corresponding other steam need for outside the courthouse to bring us up to speed. We are getting Updates Facts and figures on all of this, was the very latest here . Adult from actress Stormy Daniels back on the stand and just in the past few minutes answering questions about eventually being released from her Nondisclosure Agreements and writing a book, everything that happened after 2018 is what you can expect to learn about momentarily but you mentioned this all comes just as we returned from lunch break. Trumps lawyer asked judge one were shown for a mistrial because they believe that the jury heard unrelated damaging testimony about trump and daniels in her earlier testimony this morning explain in great detail the alleged affair or measurement didnt mention of our bodies between her and trump, he even said she later word for safety. Judge juan merchan the courts i agree it wouldve been better if some of these things had been left unsaid. I dont believe were at a point where a mistrial is warranted. Daniels is no answering questions about the Nondisclosure Agreement that she signed with Michael Cohen. She just told the court. Co involved Restraining Orders against her in 2018. She said cohen, talk about her story and she wanted to get out of the nda which eventually did so she could defend herself. Daniels claimed that she met trump at the celebrity Golf Tournament in 2006. She claimed they had an affair soon after that. The former president denies the affair. Daniels could ability will certainly be brought into questioning during her cross examination. So again shes understand right now, martha, talking about being released from that nda. Will see what comes next. I sent back to you. Martha nate, thank you. A few weeks ago Stormy Daniels called w. Intifada that she had been looking forward to todays testimony. Watch. Im absolutely ready. On hoping with all my heart that they call me because as i showed understanding i dont need someone to speak for me and i relish the day that i get to face him and speak my truth. Martha so thats whats happening. This bringing laura ingram host of the ingram angle should practice law as a criminal defense which have you with us today. What comes out at you given all of this . The new york Judicial System. After watching this today and listening to the, you know, transcripts and reading what we can read, has indicted itself. You just stated it, martha. Im so stunned that this is happening in the United States of america. This case involves the question of weather Business Records were falsified in furtherance of a crime. Now it doesnt matter what they were allegedly falsified for, you know, to satisfy an nda or to pay, you know, someone traffics tickets. Thats irrelevant to this case. The question was on a table for this indictment is whether a business record, Business Records were falsified ultimately for the Felony Counts in furtherance of a crime. Stormy daniels testimony is entirely irrelevant to this case. Everyone watching has to understand this. This entire episode today is designed to do one thing and one thing only. Humiliate donald trump, perhaps, you know, so a horrifying did they just see here to be guilty of something, perhaps prejudice the jury against them and ultimately affect the election. That this is not about proving elements of the crime or anything about the crime. Judge merchan knows that. That comment he made that i wish these things had not been said . You back. Because that prejudice the jury. The fact that Stormy Daniels is saying she lived in fear for her life, mentioning encounter where, you know, she doesnt have anyones name and it predates even the out act in question . What does that have to do with this case . So thats why this was done and in the short and salacious side of this and one reason and one reason only, tried to get the jury on board with them but most important lady humiliate trump before the president ial election. Martha is fascinating because merchan this morning the defense attorney purse max said and, of course, like every day they wanted a truly daniels was notifying, we didnt have any knowledge of that, they said look were concerned about whats going to be set up their it might be prejudicial Versus Probative Which will be to the end of explaining the case to the jury so that they can focus on other side and figure it out. And as you pointed out this also stood out to me and i think merchan is back on his heels this afternoon because it feels like hes losing control of this courtroom, right . And he says well, yeah, you know, basically this is approximation, i wish there were things that had been said and its too late. Think about this before the jury has already heard this a mistrial is not is not incumbent upon me to claim a mistrial on this at this point. In other words lets see how much further this goes and then ill wait in on whether or not they should be a mistrial. Again, the problem was allowing her testimony in the first place. Just bring her her understand again, irrelevant to the case. She has no relevance to the case, direct relevance to the crime. Idea here is that you want to preserve the ends by its nature of this proceeding in the eyes of the jury, the jury has to look at this as impartially as possible. Her testimony today, and i would say specifically, you know, the title report of it, kind of ridiculing, you know, trump, her tone, but this thing about being afraid and also implying that there was an issue with consent even, that is grounds for mistrial. The judge should be ashamed of himself. And this thing is an indictment of the new york Judicial System and sadly its humiliating for the United States of america in the eyes of the world. Martha and its a great point and for what remote i thought ive heard all this before, you know, this has when all they are about him sitting on the bed and all this stuff. And clearly the prosecution wants to establish that this is so bad that this is obviously something wanted to cover up at any cost but i want to play for you this quick soundbite from Stormy Daniels in an appearance morgan interview. Heres what she had to say about whether or not he should be jailed and this goes to the i know, can relate now. This would go to the issue of whether or not she thinks that he made her unsafe or he was threatening in any way. We have that, guys . Just a second, im told were going to hear and as i can here. Hang on. Thats alright, it happens to me. You have a stores all the time on tv, this is what life tvs all about before this was supposed to be in the next block on radio it was so easy. Martha lets listen to what she said whether or not did get any kind of closure with your time involving donald trump to seaman jail term . Specific to my case i dont think that his crimes against me are worthy of incarceration. I feel like the other things that he has done if he is found guilty, absolutely. Martha laura . Crimes against again, crime look, excuse me . What crimes were committed against Stormy Daniels . Shes an adult film actress, producer, whatever theyre calling her to the. Was the crime . Again, and i have to say martha again even though shes referring to get what youre saying. One thing i just have to add because this is funny, when you wanted other networks which i do femur purposes, its funny to see them,s are about oh this is outrageous. I mean, this people we had the member or options with bill clinton, we had Hillary Clinton destroying evidence that we had hunter biden with all his, you know, alleged Wrongdoing Business and otherwise. I mean and this is all excuse. Know the Stormy Daniels comes to town and everyone is acting like this is the oscars, the super bowl and Everything Else combined. I think its hilarious. Everybodys exposing themselves in the way the covering this. Martha laura, thank you so much. Wait to see you, well see you tonight on the angle. Laura ingram joining us this afternoon. As we said the former president has been denied a mistrial at least for now. The judge said at this point that its not merited after adult film star Stormy Daniels offered up a lot of salacious details that they tried to keep out of this debate based on what laura and i were just talking ab about. They are not, you know, in terms of what shes alleging here, that is not part of the criminal indictment as part of this case. Trump attorney will shark joints me next. The president is watching 50 minutes, if hes watching tonight, what would you say to him . He knows im telling the truth. Think about this blue jays, cardinals, orioles. Whats missing . The Andean Condor . No, walnutbrain pigeons theyd rather name a team after socks to be fair, were not very athletic. Salonpas lidocaine flex. A super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc Strength Lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. And did we mention, it really, really sticks . Salonpas, its good medicine. Martha crossexamination or i said different questioning of Stormy Daniels has begun to look on the righthand side of your screen. You see Susan Michelle asked if stormy met with particulars and rears her testimony. She says no. This is a live feed of it, he was going on in the courtroom and you are ciona righthand side of your screen here will keep a close eye on that. Will hit you from the former president and she is in the middle of the Fence Questioning of right now here in new york city our team is watching all of this they tell us that her disposition immediately changed. She is no defensive even combative at the defense has started to answer questions. The judge rejected the defense. [applause] request for an mistrial in this case. It says we are not there yet because being else give somebody details about what she claimed was our Sexual Encounter which the former president has denied and the rates that are not there is the case is not really at the heart of this particular trial. The judge warned prosecutors a degree of detail youre getting into is a necessary. We that we bring an attorney for the former president under immunity case before the supreme court. Is also running for Missouri Attorney general at a republican, welcome to the program, the top you here. With regard to judge merchan and how he is doing her, how he is handling the courtroom, i want you to listen to the soundbite from earlier coverage over on an msnbc the is from you former u. S. Attorney Harry Littman on the judge. Watch. We are talking about a very, very colorful witness. She told a lot of jokes and not all of them landed. I havent seen merchan in this trial be so sort of irritated and it came across, i think, as being irritated with her level of detail. My bottom line is it went fine but there were eyebrows raised in the jury. Martha what do you make of that . You look of all the outrageous conduct we have seen from the u. S. New york das office over the course of this case whether its clear discovery violations, games the blade with pretrial motions and with jury selection, today has to take the cake. At the start of today, judge merchan can very serious guardrails around Stormy Daniels testimony and then the new york das office just ran absolutely roughshod over those guardrails. We think that we it was clear ground for a mistrial, were deeply disappointed that judge merchan did not grant our motion for a mistrial and this is an issue that we are going to continue to raise because the das Office Strategy here is to pollute the entire trial with irrelevant, highly prejudicial evidence that should have no place in this trial or frankly in any courtroom. As a former prosecutor i find her conduct deeply deeply offensive and i am hopeful the judge merchan sees whats going on here. Martha he said that he did not see mistrial at this point but he want her essentially to stick to the things that are relevant to the trial. We know that the prosecution had discussions with w. From a daniels according to our reporters in the courtroom about staying focused on this because clearly theyre getting a little bit nervous that merchan may be related to the point of mistrial. But he says the judge said that he is considering giving limited instructions to the jury and that he is going to make a decision on that on thursday so that would mean that he will say to the jury look, this things that martha imparts impossible to unwind about. The material introduced accorded and probably much of the material introduced by other witnesses so prejudicial and has so little probative value that it is essentially infected this case in away that i dont think a simple limiting instruction can cure. Thats why we believe a mistrial is warranted. Will obviously have to consider our options Going Forward but again i find the das office conduct today to be particularly outrageous. Im assuming many lawyers feel the same way based on what normal Courtroom Practice would be and im hopeful the judge merchan sees the lights in the coming days. Martha will scharf, thank you very much for my guitar back. Rate to be with you, thank you.
