New york are continuing to monitor gentlemans out of The Middle East where were learning more about the Ceasefire Proposal that hamas, except in israel, rejected today and is really strikes on Southern Gaza. There are raising new questions about whether these limited operations will grow into a full fledged invasion of raffa, which Binding Ministration has been warning against for weeks. We begin the hour right now today, 12 and the Trump Hush Money Trial And Judges Second Contempt Finding against the former president today in his warning that a third could mean jail time that im is calling two longtime trump employees as they try to show exactly how Michael Cohen was repaid by trumps trust and personal accounts in 2017 after he paid hush money to Stormy Daniels back with the panel joining us as well as harry lipman, who was in court todays and la times Legal Affairs columnist, host of the talking feds podcast, and former Deputy Assistant attorney general.

As well as harry lipman who in court todays in la times Legal Affairs columnist, host of the Talking Feds Podcast and former Deputy Assistant attorney general im wondering what you observed as judge merchan worn trump about potential jail time. It was really sort of jaw dropping. Weve been having different judges and different courts kind of wag their finger theres but he looked directly at trump, softspoken, but very firm. Mr. Trump you are out of rope and it was really the sort of statement weve been waiting for, for a year next time. Youre done and its sensible in a way because with only 1,000 to work with for other violations, why . I should he did all around, but he said next time thats it. And he really means that his credibility would be on the line as well as the integrity of the judicial system.

and with the president writing checks. of dubious legality, we should also note. or of dubious compliance, let s just say. sure. not real compliance nerds up in there. this is not what was happening in the obama white house. no! for sure. i know that for a fact, yes. so again, it s all a little sopranos-ish, i mean, this is not business as usual. but then the question becomes like, what s the bar, right, for what that trespass means in a sort of constitutional sense and a criminal sense. in a criminal sense, the southern district has already implicated the president as individual one in conspiring with or directing these illegal payments. in a constitutional sense, and you re someone who does constitutional law, like, there s a constitutional question of like, what rises to the high crimes and misdemeanors threshold? again, not clear that this is it. we ve never. in this situation before. the constitution doesn t specifically lay out what would constitute a high cri
