after 22 witnesses and 16 days of testimony, donald trump has become the first ever american president to be convicted of a crime. this trial will go down in history. but without cameras in the courtroom, americans never got to see the evidence for themselves. they didn t get to see trumps eyes close and his mouth go slack as he sat slumped at the defense table. they didn t get to hear stormy daniels salacious testimony, firsthand. i didn t get to watch the judge clear the courtroom, seemingly in anger, as he butted heads with one particularly truculent witness. instead, americans have to rely on word from the few reporters who were actually in the room, making notes, writing down, committing to memory the things we saw and experienced. things that a transcript cannot capture. take a look. that was something to behold. i could hear gasps all around me . i wasn t sure we are going to get to a place where we had any guilty verdict against donald trump, let alone all 34 count
assistant u.s. attorney for the eastern district of new york. duncan, you are my legal sensei. these help me understand. on its face, it would seem like donald trump pleads a better deal and federal courts and state courts, right? can you talk about the strategy there? so much for state rights, right? this is, by their thinking, the president, or the former president is above the law in all 50 sovereign states in the united states of america. and you can think of all of these crimes that are not federal crimes that don t cross state lines or have anything to do with interstate commerce. just a purely state crime. i m thinking, for example, shooting someone in the middle of fifth avenue. the local d.a.s office will not be able to prosecute it anymore. it would have to be removed, and federal court for a federal prosecutor as opposed to prosecute where there is no statute available. you can see where this is
it up and go big on this or try to stay away from it and understanding that both helps and can hurt? so far, biden has really kind of undersold this. he is perhaps advisedly under a conventional political model thought that the public would have its reaction to this without him, that this would be an anchor on donald trump about joe biden sort of putting a thumb on the scale there. and at the same time, you know, he doesn t want to appear that he is directing, you know, the anti-trump message or directing the court, because donald trump has argued without any evidence whatsoever that biden is effectively controlling the court cases against trump. obviously, joe biden has no influence on the 12 jurors. you know, he is not running the d.a.s office, but that is trump s argument. it appears that biden doesn t want to play into that. we will see if that changes over the next few weeks before that debate. that s all right, jonathan allen, thank you, have a good
responded to a letter from jim jordan requesting he come down to capitol hill and testify and provide document and communications with the department of justice about the trump investigation. the crux of this letter states that the letter s request, jim jordan s letter, the letter s requests are an unlawful incursion into new york s sovereignty. bragg s office claiming the letter from jordan only came after donald trump, quote, created a false expectation that he would be arrested the next day. now it s not to say trump created a false expectation he will be arrested but just on that particular day. finally, the response from bragg s office coming from the general counsel to jordan, 2d.a. s office will not allow an investigation. this office will treat a government entity. we request a meet and confer to
