This is the Ingraham Angle from washington tonight. Thank you for joining us. Cohen lies, biden lies, that is the focus of tonight angle appeared to consider what the jurors who had to sit there in manhattan for four weeks had likely learned aboutstar the prosecutions star witness. X evhe has a convicted perjurer ad excavator and secretly taped and doesnt get permission from his clients. Light on the stand about the reason he had a call with trumps security and on toh of all of that, he admits he is a thief. The fixer inflated contractors invoice to the Trump Organization from 20,000 toce o 50,000 and pocketed the difference here what i was wondering when we would start Hearing Evidence of an actual crime at this trial and today was it. Any legal expert worth his or her song at this point would know the credibility ofth Michael Cohen is cooked. Speak of the fact that he was never charged with larceny is important because doing 60,00 60,0 through fraud which would be larceny in New York
Cite as the other crime trump allegedly intended to commit or conceal . And second and perhaps most important, will the jury be allowed to consider misdemeanors as well . I want to bring in nbcs Vaughn Hillyard live outside the courthouse. Chuck rosenberg and Catherine Christian are both with us here in the studio. So chuck, explain how this decision may go and how the judge may frame the instructions, which could be really determinative as to whether a jury that might be confused or conflicted might be looking for an Exit Strategy other than a guilty verdict. So some context might be helpful. The jury has heard all the facts. The judge will now instruct the jury on the law. Itll be their map to apply the facts that they heard to the law as they are instructed. The way the two sides, the prosecutors and the defense sort of fight it out, andrea, to get their preferred Jury Instructions read to the jury. This all takes place at the thing thats about to start, a charging conference. A lot
argument for maybe some more time for joe biden in the white house. yes, i think probably. thank you, my friend. president biden was in normandy today, commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day. and while he was there, he was asked about something totally unrelated. whether he would issue a pardon for his son, hunter, if a federal jury in delaware convicts the younger biden of felony gun possession. here his out president biden responded. as we sit here in normandy, your son, hunter, is on trial. i know that you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution. but let me ask you, will you accept the jury s outcome, the verdict, no matter what it is? yes. have you ruled out a pardon for your son? yes. pretty clear answer there. but again, this is a yes or no russian. to be honest, shouldn t be that hard to answer. joe biden, as president, with the power to pardon anyone he wants at the federal level will let his son go to prison if he is found guilty by a j
it is a low-level felony. it is his first criminal conviction. it is nonviolent. you can also argue, on the other side i think this is the way that the prosecution will see, likely the judge. that to the extent that the legislature envisioned a felony being punishable by four years of jail, this is the case that screams out for it. this is the case where the falsifying of this records relates to subverting the election to the presidency. michael cohen to prison for three years are basically the same conspiracy. all the different sovereigns, it was the federal prosecution, it was the state prosecution. and michael cohen was not a leader of that conspiracy. donald trump was the leader of the conspiracy. michael cohen was a henchman there. he is somebody who is carrying out orders. so if there is parity in sin sitting, called out for a jail term. also this is somebody who has been repeatedly violating the gag order. which hasn t been adjudicated yet. even recently, and that 33 minute
violating all sorts of laws and so brian, did he have the right to try to make a citzens arrest? megyn, wait a minute. there is a news flash. the verdict actually came in. the judge found him guilty and sentenced him to 30 days in my 7-year-old little girl s etiquette and manners class. that is proper sentence. megyn: he is only kidding. they re going to trial which is nuts. that is nuts. he is charged with reckless driving. he shows up the other day for court hearing. they re going to trial. they re having a jury trial. the guy accusing the cops. sorry about that. back to the legal issue, no, he can t make a citzens arrest. i checked the michigan statute. the only time you can make a citzens arrest, megyn, if is felony is committed in your house or see a felony being committed in the public or a police officer asks you to assist in apprehending a suspect. none of those things
