Blades. It cuts for over an hour on a single charge. Ego exclusively at lowes, ace and ego authorized dealers. The one the clock is ticking down informal President Trumps criminal trial and we are officially on Michael Cohen watch. I am don roberts in washington good To Be With You. Aishah good but To Be With You as well happy friday i am Aishah Hasnie in for sandra smith we are at America Reports our two. Court wrapped up in It Prosecutors say its possible they will rest their case as early as next week. With only two more witnesses left to call we expect trumps former attorney Michael Cohen at the center of this to take the stand as early as monday. John former President Trump has a big Campaign Rally in the jersey shore tomorrow but he said this while leaving Court Moments ago. There is no gag order to Michael Cohen. The judge did it was amazing. Everybody can say whatever they want. They can say whatever they want but i am not allowed to say anything about anybody. It is a disgrace. Aishah frustrated former President Trump lets get to nathan foy live outside the new york state supreme court. What happened today hi, nate. Hi, aishah. Youve just heard former President Trump speak on this. The judge declined to impose a gag order on Michael Cohen in this case as he continues discussing a nonsocial made about another key issue that was discussed at the end of court today is the lack of testimony so far at least from former Trump Organization cfo Ellen Weisel Berg who is in jail on Perjury Charges right now. Prosecutors say the Separation Agreement with the Trump Organization prevents him from speaking to prosecutors whereas trumps team came back and said Chef Mcconnell has a similar agreement he testified in this case it end with the judge saying he wants to see some effort to compel weisel berg to testify so we will see what happens of that possibly next week. Also as you just heard from President Trump speaking about the lack of a gag order on he also said how he believes this is politically motivated. This all comes out of washington. Its too damaged kirk and joe bidens political opponent which happens to be me. We are leading big and the poles of the American People get that its a scam. So when cohen takes the Stand On Monday the prosecution will attempt to connect trump directly to the scheme to reimburse cohen from Paying Adult Film ActressStormy Daniels 130,000. Trumps Executive Assistant at the white house Madeleine Westerhout finished today saying that he saying to signed with approval and she saw him do that while multitasking talking on the phone or discussing scheduling with his staff. Trumps lawyers attempted to prove he cannot operate with the same attention to detail with his finances after becoming president. Wester hout said trump was upset when they Stormy Daniels her went public but not because of politics rather his family. She told the court she knew it would be hurtful to his family of Michael Cohen one of the key witnesses in this case set to start testifying on monday as you mentioned aishah the prosecution says he is 1 of 2 witnesses they have left so they anticipate possibly resting their case at some point next week send it back to you. Nate foy with that live report outside the courthouse thank you. Lets bring in will sharp. Well, lets look ahead to next week since everything is done for this week. Michael cohen this is what Jonathan Turley said about Michael Cohen in a recent call he said Michael Cohen goes on tiktok when trump announced the campaign for congress who wouldve thought District Attorney alvin bragg Calling A Pornstar to the standard be the moral high ground next to be a convicted perjurer still conceiving to make money off the case. How much credibility, well, do you think cohen will have as we see donald trump arriving back to trump tower here when he takes the Stand On Monday . Look, im somewhat limited in what i can say because of this outrageous unconstitutional unilateral gag order, and we are still dealing with this here but i will still say is we have said repeatedly in Court Pleadings since long before this case was on trial that Michael Cohen is a man who has been found liable for perjury by numerous courts previously which is obviously going to be something that will weigh very heavily in terms of assessing his credibility going forward. Aishah will, Michael Cohen gave a interview to politico next to mike last month the headline said Michael Cohen on the trump trial prepare to be surprise and we could pull of the quote here he said the Campaign Finance the Business Record fraud is a crime and if it was you or anybody else they would already have been indicted. But he says prepare to be surprised, well, what could he possibly say on monday that would surprise you . I have no earthly idea but look over this case shouldve never been brought in the first place. We are talking about the most novel, unprecedented legal theory perhaps ever presented in an american courtroom. Vessel for the the prosecution has not yet presented any evidence whatsoever. That President Trump actually did anything illegal. I dont think anything could emerge in Court Next Week that would change that fundamental deficiency with all of these proceedings, really. As i alluded to before, we are under this unilateral gag order where President Trump and our team are restricted from talking about Michael Cohen and yet Michael Cohen has made numerous extrajudicial statements about this case as it is preceded and it goes to show how outrageous these proceedings have been particularly with respect to the gag order and the limits on our ability to speak publicly about the miscarriage of justice going on in new york right now. John we should point out you are in need trump case and that will determine whether or not the charges on january 6th will go forward and likely have an effect on some of the other pending litigation as well. But when you take a look at some of the other action that has happened, judge Aileen Cannon in florida saying i cant make the trial date for may i will postpone. Im not going to set a new trial date so that is been postponed indefinitely in an Appeals Court in georgia allowing to hear the Trump Appeal On Fani Willis disqualification from the Georgia Election case. It has led to some people including Kimberley Strassel to observe this wall of laffaire that has been launched against donald trump where she wrote democrats face a critical choice last year trying to confront the real problem of a weakened old president residing under far left policies or try to rig an outcome by bracing a stratagem. They chose the latter perhaps the court will still convict mr. Trump of something although that could play either way with the electric, laffaire is politics and a very Risky Business as we had and of the closing days of this trial, what do you think of what kimberly said . I think thats exactly right paired what we are dealing with here is Banana Republic type stuff. I think President Biden and his political allies wanted to keep President Trump on trial basically every day from this past january through until election day. Unfortunately as these cases have moved through the courts in florida and washington, d. C. , and georgia, this serious deficiencies with each of these indictments both legally and factually have come to light. We have seen the deacs ck stay while we litigate these very weighty constitutional issues and president ial immunity, the florida case is now delayed while we review serious allegations of Prosecutorial Misconduct of issues with the custody with which evidence was kept from the time of the maralago rate in the indictment each of these cases which appear in some legal commentators minds right strong on the day they were indicted they are falling apart under their own weight as we litigate them in court. I think that is a dynamic that will continue playing out between now and election day. Aishah well i have to ask you because you do represent trump and you do talk to him frequently, a couple of weeks ago down in maralago he told reporters that he would testify in this trial and he didnt just say i testify if it was important or if they asked me to, we think about it he said yeah, i would testify absolutely. I am testifying, i tell the truth. All i can do is tell the truth. Is not something you would advise him at this point after seeing how everything is gone . You know people like Stormy Daniels are trying to egg him on to do that. Look i think that will ultimately be a decision for President Trump and for his trial team. After the prosecution closes his case. I will say as i said repeatedly that i believe President Trump would be a highly compelling witness on the stand because he knows the truth and the truth is he did absolutely nothing wrong and certainly absolutely nothing illegal with respect to this case. John will scharf really appreciated. Will see you again soon. Thank you so much. Great To Be With You as always, thank you. John you were there. Do we have that piece of sound . I would like to play at. John lets. Aishah lets play it real quick. Yeah, i would testify absolutely. I am testifying i tell the truth, all i can do is tell the truth. John so it makes sense he would testify almost every day when he shows up to court there is a female reporter who asks him that very question are you going to testify. Aishah i wanted to play it because when i say it out loud you cant hear the to my tone in his voice he is saying it with conviction he has decided he will testify so that is a big question as we head into week three now, day 16 of this huge trial whether or not he gets on the stand and how it goes from there. John here is the caveat in that. Trial had not started when the was asked. After seeing how this has gone forward on the evidence this judge has allowed in and the president to prejudicial nature of the testimony of Stormy Daniels, i think trumps attorney will probably be very prudent in saying i know you said you wanted to testify, but i can suggest you dont. Aishah i think they will wait to see how Michael Cohen goes in the next couple of days. Still to come a deadly tornado ripped through a town in tennessee.

Aishah House Republicans are threatening impeachment in the denial of weapons to israel if it invades before they say its an abuse of power. Team covered with analysis from bill mcgurn but first lets go live to Jacqui Heinrich who is live at the white house with the latest from the administration. Jackie, an article of impeachment has now officially been filed. Thats right cory mills filed one article of impeachment against President Biden and he writes President Biden abuse the power of his office by soliciting a quid pro quo with israel while leveraging vital and military aid for policy changes. This egregious action not only compromise the credibility of the United States was also undermined the interest of our long stand in ally, israel. Making the move drawing comparisons to House Democrats and paging for President Trump over allegedly withholding military aid to ukraine in an attempt to get dirt on bidens then political opponent. Bidens action is not without precedent, Ronald Reagan delayed to israel in violence in the middle east and george w. Bush held in loan guarantees to stop israeli settlements in territories but what biden failed to do here was notify congress. They did not inform the appropriations committee. They did not inform the formulations committee. They did not inform the Armed Services committee. It was a unilateral decision. Even democrats are blessed and biden. I did not agree with that. When you have the kind of enemy that has no conditions or morals or decency or any kind of a bottom and i dont think we should have any kind of conditions. I havent seen anything with israels conduct that would justify conditions. That sentiment was echoed by 26 House Democrats who wrote to biden today expressing dismay and urging a reversal. How white house defended the President S Choice writing our actions have been with the law and not to delay in Spending Funds appropriated by congress we have been clear that every last cent of those funds will be spent consistent with legal obligations including the respect including with respect to the recently passed supplemental. Israel has said it will follow through with its plans to eliminate hamas
