And this is americas late news, fox news and night. Breaking tonight, antiisrael protesters at princeton who went on a Hunger Strike are now calling off the strike because of Health Concerns. And hunger. And Law Enforcement now warning of a National Public safety crisis because the low number of Police Officers at an alltime high. We will talk to a sheriff who answers his own 911 calls. But first, the crossexamination of convicted felon Michael Cohen and a fiery courtroom showdown. Nate foy live outside Supreme Court with more on this. Good evening. Reporter today on the witness dan Michael Cohen admitted that he wants to see former President Donald Trump convicted in this trial and he also admitted to making money off criticizing trump, including recently saying that trump should go into a cage where he belongs. Trump cant publicly respond to cohens comments because of the courts gag order and after an Appellate Court refused to overturn the gag order, trump said this while leaving court tonight. Nobody has seen anything like it but we would love to not be under gag order as nominee for president. Reporter during his direct examination, cohen admitted to lying before congress in 2017 and longing to special Council Prosecutors during the molar investigation. He said his loyalty to trump changed when he pleaded guilty to federal Campaign Finance violations and tax evasion in 2018. Trump attorney asked cohen if hes obsessed with trump. Take a look at his response. Cohen said i dont know if i would call it obsessed. I admired him tremendously. Today cohen claimed he submitted false monthly invoices in 2017 to be reimbursed for Paying Adult Film ActressStormy Daniels 130,000. Trump maintains all payments represented legitimate legal expenses. Cohen is the prosecutions final witness and trumps lawyers expect to be done questioning him by about midday thursday so cohen will take the stand at 9 30 thursday morning. As for trumps schedule, hes intending a foot attending a fundraiser tonight in new york city. Back to you. Trace the trial is getting down to the wire, thank you. Lets bring in former Deputy Assistant attorney general, drawn, great to have you on the show. One of your colleagues Jonathan Turley had this headline in the new york post, mr fixit . Michael cohen bombs on the stand, offers no new evidence to convict trump. What do you think . Did he balm on the stand . I dont know if he bombed, although hes already in the crater and trying to dig himself out before he ever took the stand because this is a guy who has already been convicted of perjury twice got convicted of tax evasion. Federal judges have called him a lawyer and so i think actually trump had a bad weak last week with the Stormy Daniels testimony and the salacious news of it but this week has been good for trump because if you wanted to end the evidence with Michael Cohen and leave him as the last witness in the mind of the jury, its almost like the defense planned it that way. Its been a really good week for them to end with attacking the credibility of a witness who is so weak that the Justice Department decided never to bring a case with this guy is the witness. Trace its interesting because you and i have talked about this controversial gag order, the unilateral, order on the former president. Trump also had his surrogates out there today and they asked a fair question. Watch this. I would like for anybody, anybody in the press, anybody at home, at ns msnbc or the media, to clearly state what exactly is the crime that donald trump committed. I will wait. We have not heard a good answer to that question. Trace now the question posed to you, do you know the crime, can you identify the crime and give us a simple explanation of what we are looking for is the jury is about to get this case . Trace, its not fare to ask me to do the prosecutions job because they havent done that. You could say that this is a violation of trumps constitutional rights. The da has been playing hide the ball monte with this. We cant tell what the charge is because its all built on the idea that there is some greater crime that trump was concealing with this alleged bookkeeping entry shenanigans. But the prosecution has never made it clear. We all think its a federal election crime but they have not made clear thats the case and they are not allowed to prosecute that and so they are right, i think the prosecution fare to trump i think this would be good grounds for trump to win on appeal alone, that the prosecution wont clearly state what the crime is. Trace i know you think Michael Cohen is a bad witness, you think the prosecution will rest its case on thursday . I actually think that they have to rest the case now because they went too far last week. They know and i think even the judge knows that they let Stormy Daniels go on too long. What the prosecution did is drop a lot of witnesses they wanted to pile on daniels as part of the story and now you can see they are worried, that that might have triggered a mistrial and that is why i think they are ending with Michael Cohen tomorrow. Trace good analysis, thank you, we appreciate it as always. Maybe team trump found a workaround as we were talking about there. The former president s political allies rallied and spoke outside the courthouse today at his criminal trial. Senior National Correspondent kevin corke is live in dc with more. Reporter good evening trace. Its been suggested the starstudded turned out political luminaries to support the former president is really just a bunch of politicos playing nice fort, you know, future cabinet spots and a second Drop Administration or maybe even a vp shot. But other observers have pointed out that what this really is is a stark reminder to passive Court Watchers that this is in their view a travesty of justice and a political persecution of a former president designed to keep him off the Campaign Trail and eventually away from, you know, the white house. Thus the appearances today by Speaker Johnson, the congressmen as well as north dakota governor and businessman. Im an attorney, former litigator, im disgusted by whats happening here. Whats being done here to our entire system of justice Overall ReporterSpeaker Johnson added that many are losing faith and our nations institutions and pointed out that in this case its because of cases just like this, one of the many reasons why. For his part, former President Trump seems to be more or less weathering the storm. After all he is leading his successor in five 06 Swing State Polls despite the law fair and he said today his team is exposing this case as an absolute scam. Trace it certainly does not appear to have been detrimental for him so far. Kevin corke live in dc, thank you. Lets bring in Fox News Contributor steve hilton and princeton political scientist, thank you both. I want to play some more of the allies in this case against trump. They had this to say. Watch. This is a joke, a farce, a travesty, we are better than this as americans. America stands with him as well. They see this sham indictment, they see this for what it is without any actual substance. This is a sham, this is not the United States of america. This is some thirdrate banana republic. Trace what do you think steve,s is helpful for trump or should he go out to the microphones and speak for himself day after day . This is enormous they helpful. It builds on what trump has already been doing. Hes been making his case that this is totally politically motivated election interference. Is the case goes on we can see that. They continue to fail to actually explain what the crime is. The testimony of Stormy Daniels last week which all the legal experts agreed was completely irrelevant to the actual case and point and now you are amplifying that with these political supporters. Theres one further thing i would say. The speaker there, mike johnson, elevated it. Theres an elephant of gravitas. Hes not just someone whos in the mix for a vp or cabinet position, hes the leader of one of the great chambers in our congress and he makes the point there that this is actually not just appalling in terms of the politics, its a terrifying corruption of our judicial system for political ends and exactly as was being said, talk about banana republics, its happened in pakistan, putins russia, and thats what the democrats are doing here. Trace meantime usa today, the poll on the fairness of the new york trial, put this up on the screen. Not fair leading. Talking about a four and a half point lead. We havent seen that too much. It looks like this not fair thing gaining a little bit of momentum. What do you think . Ive seen polling thats more drastic than that. I think the main advantage for trump is that this is really low ranking on voters list of priorities and to the point even steve, we were talking about earlier, this showing of supporters to me is indicative that trump is ahead and we have a bunch of hardnosed ambitious politicians who think there is zero risk right now of being associated with this guy and that is just as telling as all the polls that show trump is ahead. They think we better get on board, its going to be him and he has a good chance of winning the election. Trace james carvel said this. Right now hes got to try to move some numbers. These polls are stuck in a ditch and have been that way for a while. Right now the president ial race, this is a Sticky Wicket out there. Trace Sticky Wicket for biden, steve. Exactly. I mean its not just that hes leading in all of the swing states, just in the latest New York Times poll, hes leading by way more than the margin of error. And further, in historical terms, polls have traditionally undercounted trump support. I think it was cnn who made the point saying i dont know how many shy biden voters there are out there. And so if anything trumps lead is even greater. Its terrifying if you are a democrat and it shows theyve made such a mistake and not getting rid of biden when they could have. Trace on special report tonight, i thought this was fascinating, watch. What im picking up from my democratic friends and sources is that the closeknit group around President Biden has locked down and basically takes the attitude that with the National Polls at plus two for trump, its not that bad. I think thats a big mistake. Trace i think you want better than not that bad if you are running for president. I totally agree. People are indicating that the polls are utterly meaningless at this point. That is not true. Its true that they become more meaningful the closer we get, but democrats acting as if it does not mean anything, its essentially random noise that trump is ahead, they are in for a rude awakening. Its very scary for them. Its extraordinary how mistrustful voters are of biden. Thats the whole ballgame. Trace five plus months left, we will see how it goes. Thank you both. Meantime a busy primary day in nebraska, maryland and especially West Virginia where the race to replace joe mansion may well decide the Balance Of Power in the u. S. Senate. Bill melugin live in charlestown where that contest is coming into focus tonight. Good evening. Reporter good evening trace. The results are officially in in West Virginia. The Current Governor jim justice backed by donald trump will be the republican nominee this fall. A fox Analysis Shows this seat in particular gives republicans the best chances fall to flip the seat in the senate, the seat of course left vacant by the retiring of senator. But as for the winner tonight, he was elected to office in West Virginia back in 2016 as a democrat. He switched parties in 2017 after trump won his state by about 40 points. Heres some of what he had to say after his big win tonight. Im not going to dc to just go up there and be part of the part. Im going up there to shake up the world. Anybody in their right mind that could ever think that joe biden and the a ministration and what they are doing is right i think is a lunatic. Reporter in the primary race, justice received a series of big endorsements from donald trump, Mitch Mcconnell in West Virginia senator. His main opponent in the primary was West Virginia representative alex mooney, a member of the House Freedom caucus who built himself as their true conservative in the race. He was endorsed by senators ted cruz and despite the loss, he says hes focused on beating democrats this fall. We fought hard, we ran the race all the way through. Im still in congress through the end of the year. We have opportunities to fight back every step of the way and make sure we win in november for the top of the ticket. Reporter on the democratic side of the race, it is still too close to call. However the mailer of wheeling, West Virginia is currently in the lead and he is endorsed by senator mansion. Trace we will get back to you with news. Bill melugin, thank you. Meantime princeton students conducting an antiisrael Hunger Strike have essentially topped out because not eating was having Adverse Health consequences. Ashley strohmier is live in new york with new information on this. Good evening. Reporter students at Princeton University protesting israels war with hamas in gaza calling an end to their Hunger Strike after just ten days. The end of the Hunger Strike came after members initially vowed not to eat or drink again until a pair of demands were met participants will abstain from all food and drink except water until our demands are met. We commit our bodies to their liberation of palestine. Princeton, hear us now, we will not be moved. On may 3rd. The demands included disclosure disclosure, divestment and full academic and cultural boycott of israel and grant complete amnesty from all criminal and disciplinary charges for just perches a bins of the peaceful sit in. Princeton, divest now, calling for the university to divest from americas Middle Eastern ally due to the high civilian death toll said additional strikers would be continuing their efforts, writing, due to Health Concerns of the 13 strikers who fasted for ten days , the first Hunger Strike wave ended and the second wave has begun. In the tradition of rotary strikes, seven new strikers are indefinitely fasting for a free palestine. It is unclear what exactly is meant by indefinitely fasting but i guess we will see how long this one lasts. Back to you. Trace we will indeed. Live in new york, thank you. Lets bring in bethany mandel, coauthor of stolen youth and Rabbi Chaim Mentz. Welcome to you both. Hunger protesters wrote the following on may 3rd, participants will abstain from all food and drink except water until our demands are met. We commit our bodies to the liberation of palestine. Princeton, hear us now, we will not be moved until we get really hungry. And by the way the faculty started a Hunger Protest and it lasted like 24 hours. What do you think about this . I invite them to try out the summer fast where you are not Drinking Water either. But honestly i was hoping you would put pictures of these students on camera while you were reading that because im sorry, there is no way those gentlemen were fasting for like two days let alone ten. You are probably right, a fair assessment. Meantime in florida, rabbi, a doctor has called for the annihilation of jews. And by the way hes a dentist in florida. Heres what he said in english and then we will play a little bit more of what he said in his language. Watch. The most immoral armies, worse than nazis, and i apologize to the nazis last week because these people have proven to be worse than the nazis, they steal the skin of the palestinians, not enough they stole their land, now they steal their skins. Trace he also went on took all the jews apes and pigs and accuse the Israeli Military of trafficking organs. Hes a doctor. Can you imagine if you had to worry about your doctors political ideology . First of all, hes in south florida. Thats not a good place to start going in blowing up the business when there are so many jews living down there but lets be honest, there are many muslims, they feed and believe in the rhetoric. Just three days ago we had the day of remembering the holocaust. We lost 6 million. Imagine if those 6 million were alive today
