4 00 in new york. As we kick off what will be the second week of Witness Testimony in donald j. Trumps Hush Money Trial. It is important to take stock and remind ourselves, it is not normal. To have an examerican President Stand Trial as a criminal defendant. It is not normal for that same criminal defendant to also be the Republican Partys current presumptive nominee for the upcoming president ial election. We learned a great deal from david pecker during his time on the Witness Stand last week about exactly how the catch and kill scheme that was used to benefit donald trump when he was running for president the first time worked. It worked by burying stories that would have been harmful to his reputation. We heard from trumps long Time Assistant rhona graf that Stormy Daniels and Karen Mcdougal, the women paid to keep their stories quiet ahead of the election, were both named in trumps rolla dex. So this week we expect to hear new evidence and new testimony from new witnesses further
