fox news is caring for him every day and recapping the trial in a way that is rather unfortunate and does not play to what is happening in the courtroom. donald trump, he is not fundraising off of this is not able to be on the campaign trail. he is frustrated because he is not in the battleground states every day he is not hoisting up a steak campaign office. he could not do even if he was not in this trial, to be honest, because he does not have the money. that is a problem for him. this will be a very tight election cycle but no one would want to be in a courtroom versus being out on the campaign trail. it is hard to do all those things at the same time. dean, you mentioned he would likely not face jail time if he is convicted. walk us through what is at the core of the accusations that are made against donald trump. why should ordinary americans tonice point about fox doing the heavy lifting why should they care about this? reporter: there s two parts of this.
that, you know, he has to be there in the courtroom. you mentioned already on this. beyond that, at times he is treating donald trump the way that his actions marriage. i have tried many criminal cases in my life. i have never in my career as prosecutor or defense attorney have a trial in which the prosecution does not tell the defense, in advance, which witnesses they are calling the next day. that way the defense can prepare to cross-examine those witnesses as opposed to the 50 or 60 on the list. the fact that the judge is basically saying, we cannot trust you to have the names, donald trump and we will disadvantage her lawyers. that sends a message to donald trump it sends the message that he is not in control. he sits down when he is told tupper he does what he is told tough. if he continues to behave badly, there will be consequences.
that penalty for this. he will face a penalty every day a trial for his attempts to circumvent the rules of the judge. we have been talking about the ways the judge has been showing trump he is in charge. the trial has not started yet. it starts on monday. he will figure out very quickly that the judge will exercise all ports of authority in the courtroom. and the more he keeps this up, the more it will hurt him. doesn t hurt him politically at all that he continues to do this for his base and people that out there that might be voting for him? i know democrats want to stay away from this because they want the wheels of justice to spin as independently as possible. he shows no sign he will stop violating the gag order. he has gone after the judge multiple times on his failed social media website what is the play that he continues to be treated differently than any other defendant and continues to undermine the justice process?
trial as he is done repeatedly. am i getting that right? reporter: that is right. i have to say it will come as no surprise to anyone who is watching this that donald trump is not being honest about the restriction that the judge is putting on him. obviously, he is able to speak. he is speaking. he is talking on his social media platform all the time. some of the violet rules and some of them don t. here is what i would say about that. i think this is getting a lot of attention with good reason. the witnesses, as you mentioned before the break are getting concerned that they are feeling intimidated. the prosecution is doing the right thing, burying it in front of the judge and dragging the defendant. i do think at the end of the day, trump is not going to be a martyr spending a night in prison. he is not going to be facing
