Welcome, to the special coverage of criminal trumps criminal trial. It is a week that could be make or break as key witness Michael Cohen unloaded on trump but then found himself on defense with trumps fate now hanging in the balance. The star witness takes the stand against donald j trump. Michael cohen now the star witness. The expresident coming face to face with the man who used to do his dirty work. Who now has turned into the key witness. Telling the court, everything required mr. Trumps sign off. Will he keep his cool during the crossexamination . I think the punches are building cumulatively. I think that tuesday there were bruises, and today there is blood. Stor cohen is a bad human being. If i was a juror i would think this guy is making it up as he is going along. We have heard different people, legal experts, longtime journalists, and other observers close to this. I can tell you, was inside the courtroom. Including the key cross on thursday. And cohen did give the da what
As ofl. michael. very active situation to say the least. alex marquardt in kyiv, thanks so much. let s turn to jasmine wright in washington. jasmine, what are you hearing from the white house as it monitors what s happening in kyiv? reporter: well, michael, the president spent his weekend in his home in delaware, but a white house official just told me he is being regularly updated on the developments happening in ukraine and of course keeping in touch with his national security team. but no doubt that white house officials are watching what s happening on the ground in ukraine with really great concern. for weeks now, we have gotten these intensified warnings from white house officials about what could happen in ukraine, and more often than not, they are seeing some of these predictions come into focus here. so no doubt they are concerned not only for ukraine and the ukrainian people and of course the stability of his government as russia looks like it is enclosing to the capital,
Where is the news cycle? where is that chyron? how can he adjust it? when he sees them going a certain direction, he may try to jump in against all of the advice of those around him to try to change the news and change what he thinks is his policy and his perspective. what happened last night? what happened with syria? i mean, i think he s taken his lead from rand paul, people like me are against it. it s unusual for him to break his behavior seems uneven lately. a little dodgy lately. he s jumping around. i m going to mar-a-lago, i m not going to mar-a-lago. i m letting the government stay open, i m nclosing the government. i m getting out of syria. pull it back. he s looking at divided government and from the border wall to afghanistan to syria he s trying to check the box and all of these signature campaign promises. remember during the campaign he wanted to shrink the american footprint abroad.
A month so if you are married, each person would get $500 a month, would stabilize your life. but you have to work. the evidence shows people work just as much after getting the money as before. so the argument is this will explode the budget deficit which you re describing is a very expensive program. there s no two ways about it. i think a guaranteed income is expensive. there are some who say we should go even bigger, there are some who say we should go smaller. what i think is reasonable is $500 a month for people making less than $50,000. that would be an additional $300 billion to the federal budget, which is very meaningful, but it is doable. the way i recommend that we pay for it is bringing rates on income of $250,000 into line with our historical averages, about 50%, enclosing most of the
