11:02 pm
jury plus trump, hurt black people? >> that is the message. biden it's putting out there tonight is it resonating to radio hosts who spoke to the president about the subject or out front. plus breaking news this our nato now closer to sending troops to train in ukraine. putin makes gains towards one of the biggest cities in ukraine. cnn is on the ground, on the front lines. let's go out front and good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. trump taking aim at cohen. it was an explosive day in court and trump was all in he knew today could decide the case as trump's team turned up the heat on michael cohen. trump was present, like he hasn't been yet for this trial the whole day staring down the man who once said he'd take a bullet for trump trump's eyes were opened. he was leaning in, he was fully engaged trump inside are telling me earlier today that trump most likely knew what attacks were coming from his lawyer and was eagerly awaiting cohen's reaction. and there was one big moment today, trump's lawyer bringing up a
11:03 pm
crucial crawl that cohen made just weeks before the election a crucial one 3067 i can call the cohen says was when trump had personally okay. the hush money payment to stormy daniel's cohen has acknowledged that this call was actually made to keith schiller's phone, who was of course, trump's bodyguard. and cohen says, well, schiller, always with trump and i called him and he handed the phone to trump but trump's lawyer, todd blanche, brought this call up with a surprising twist, casting doubt on whether cohen actually did speak to trump and casting doubt on the entire content of the phone conversation itself. >> blanche producing texts that showed cohen was texting schiller about an unrelated matter of 14 year-old who coincide had been harassing him just before the phone call. >> no texts about stormy daniels the timeline blanche laid out so the text was sent to call was happened after cohen even followed up about that 14-year-old blanche was trying to show that the call was actually about the kid and cohen has said under oath, under direct examination that the purpose of the call was quote, to discuss the stormy
11:04 pm
daniels matter and the resolution of it. he mentioned nothing about any other topic but after blanche laid out the text messages about this 14 year-old cohen today acknowledged for the first time that the call wasn't only about stormy daniel's, and that he did speak to keith schiller in addition to donald trump and the phone conversation he acknowledged that to todd blanche today saying part of it was the 14 year-old, but i know keith was mr. what mr. trump at the time. and there was more potentially than this blanche responded that was a lie. you did not talk to president trump. you talked to keith schiller. you can admit it. >> cohen responded, no, sir. i don't know that it's accurate blanche was pacing back and forth. his arms were flailing, saying a one-minute and 36 second phone call and you had enough time to update schiller about all the problems you were having and also update president trump about the status of the stormy daniels situation? well, this is a crucial de and back to the timing of a minute and 36 seconds. it really does depend how the jury sees it. it's either not enough time to talk about two topics. any way, shape, or form, or it is. i mean, in television a minute, 36 seconds is a hell of a lot of time. it's an entire report
11:05 pm
or story. if a topic has already had a lot of back and forth a minute, 36 seconds is a lot of time to because all the payment and talk about an unrelated issue. it depends how the jury sees it. and blanche, today told the jury that the only way to see it is the cohen is a liar and his version of the call was a lie. in fact, blanche repeatedly called cohen ally or to his face, just as trump publicly did when the trial began in violations of his gag order what are they going to look at all the lives that the last drought he, that court light and the last trial so he got caught line truly incredible day in court the entire our case could hang on. >> what happened there today
11:06 pm
yeah. >> absolutely. as we reported exclusively last night on outfront defense attorneys zeroed in on cohen's recollection of that conversation. they came armed with receipts and let the jury with a lot to think about over the next three days, but we've also learned that may call michael cohen's former attorney, rob castello, to continue to pile on with their attacks on michael cohen's credibility michael cohen, the only witness being called by the prosecution who can directly implicate donald trump in an alleged hush money scheme has crucial parts of his testimony under cut returning to the stand for a second day of cross-examination, trump defense attorney todd blanche grueling cohen about all the time he has lied painting him as unreliable and out for revenge after not being given a job in the trump white house, you were disappointed that after all the work that you had done for president trump for 9.5 years. nobody including
11:07 pm
president trump, offered you a position in the white house blanche asked cohen after showing him text messages he sent to his daughter about potentially working in the trump administration. that's not accurate. cohen insisted and he began to grow agitated as trump lean forward in his chair behind the defense table at time staring intently at his former fixer the trump defense then reached a crescendo, turning to a key moment of cohen's testimony, a 2016 phone call, he says he had with former trump body man, keith schiller, who says he then pass the phone to trump cohen says he told trump on that call how he planned to play stormy daniels to keep their alleged affair quiet but referencing phone records, blanche asked this is the call that you testified about on tuesday. it was to talk to president trump about the stormy deal and to move forward cohen was then shown a text message. he sent to schiller the same night about a 14-year-old prank
11:08 pm
caller who had been harassing him. cohen texted schiller who can i speak to regarding harassing calls to my cell, an office, the dope forgot to bl blanche, then raised his voice, asking cohen to confirm the call was not actually a common precision with trump about stormy daniels, but about the 14-year-old prankster cohen, defendant himself saying part of it was the 14 year-old, but i know that keith was with mr. trump at the time and there was more potentially than this blanche shot back that was a lie. you did not talk to president trump. you talked to keith schiller. you can admit it cohen calmly responded. no, sir. >> i don't know that it's accurate blanche responded a one-minute and 36 second phone call and you had enough time to update schiller about all the problems you were having? and also update president trump about the status of the stormy daniels situation because you
11:09 pm
had to keep him informed. i always ran everything by the boss immediately. and in this case, it would have been saying everything had been taking care of its been resolved cohen answered. he maintained his composure. >> i believe i also spoke to mr. trump and told him everything regarding the stormy daniels matter. >> we're not asking for your belief this story does not want to hear what you think happened. blanche retorted the prosecution that objected. the judge sustained. and michael cohen shook his head we got new information at the end of the day today about when the jury might get this case and begin deliberating. >> there's no court tomorrow and next week earn it could be just a two day week. there's court on monday, there's court on tuesday but there's never any court on wednesday and on thursday, a juror has an appointment and there's previous leslie no court on friday for the memorial day weekend. there's still a lot of work to do. so at this point, almost impossible to have a verdict next week. and also
11:10 pm
likely that the jury won't even begin to deliberations until after memorial day alright, paula, thank you very much. >> and just to think about how many days, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, sunday, monday, six days away from this. and then to come back in that is something else. all right. are experts are with me. so joey jackson, i actually want to ask about that, but i want to start with what polo is laying out. we were going through here here this was a big day beyond the big day. >> this was a colossal issue and a colossal mistake by the prosecution. and here's why we talked a lot about the issue of corroboration. and that is that the prosecution getting ahead of things and having everyone corroborate with michael cohen we'll say what they cannot corroborate is what you say on a phone call when you're not a party to the phone call, he's on the phone call. and who else is schiller? the body man, right. for donald trump and potentially donald trump. well, guess what? donald trump has a right not to testify. we'll see if he does shiller will know what he says. if he testifies and that is michael cohen never said a word for about stormy
11:11 pm
daniels. so what's the point? the point is that all the corroborate is can get people into the room, right? michael cohen gets you at the table. and on this critical issue with respect to telling your boss about something in a 96 second phone call and then you have the run-up. what these text messages parallel to the phone call where you're expressing you're concern, which is completely different. it's problematic. final point the prosecution could have laid the foundation on this in their direct case. sir, you made a phone call. >> is that right? right. tell us about the phone call, but and it seems to me there were text messages because you had other concerns. what what are they this 14 year-old was harassing me but in that phone call, this is what i'm saying in the run-up to his testimony. so the jury's condition to hear it having not said that and having made the call completely about the payoff to stormy, daniel's along the timeline is troubling problematic and puts a major hole and the case was a disaster. the fact that the prosecutor did not get ahead of this, i would be very concerned
11:12 pm
about this. because all of this was available and discovery they all had the call logs and text messages and cohen did say under direct that this call was about stormy daniels. he mentioned nothing about there were no text messages brought up. there's nothing mentioned that 14-year-old then today, all of a sudden it's oh, yeah, it was about both things and keith and i did talk about this and then i handed the phone to the president. i mean, that is a totally different story. >> if it's very different. and just to look back on what happened on monday when the prosecutor's asking michael cohen the question, they say, do you know why you were reaching out to mr. schiller in the evening of october 24, 20,016 yes. why? because i needed to speak to mr. trump and i knew that keith keith schiller was with him. why did he need to speak to mr. trump at that point to discuss stormy daniels why. did you call him to discuss stormy daniel's today at a minimum he called schiller in order to discuss the 14-year-old within 30 seconds of the phone call ending he then michael cohen texts schiller, the phone number for the 14 year-old the
11:13 pm
phone call was about the 14-year-old at a minimum, right? >> i mean, there was clear there was an immediate follow-up on that topic so to answer the question, why did you call schiller? >> answer because of her 14-year-old? and may be also stormy daniels, but that's not there and i agree with what jerry's and yet this phone call is so crucial because there's the call mike coco and i said trump approved the payment. right? it's essential. it's essential call. and that doesn't take a lot of time to do it. maybe as i said, if there's a lot of back-and-forth, but none of this was known until today. you're watching the jury when all this was laid out. did this look like an a-ha moment to any of them? absolutely. that duree was focused back and forth on the questions that blanche was asking and that cohen was answering and cohen hesitated. he didn't answer definitively. he could have said something like, well, yes, it was about this 14 year-old, but it was definitely about the call with stormy daniels fact that he's authorizing this. >> he didn't say that he hesitated. >> the other issue is it made it seem like the prosecution set this up. >> so the only reason that
11:14 pm
cohen knew about this was because the prosecution told you the date, what cohen should have done a said well, yes, when they prepped me, they told me the dates. i knew the content. i just didn't know the exact date and he said that, but it wasn't definitive about it. and that's something everyone can understand extended exact de of a phone call or not are low when you look at what happened today, and of course, you worked with todd blanche, so you know him, obviously he was a lot of people were not impressed with his performance. >> the other day today though it was a very different sort of, at least on this crucial moment, right? he had a plan, he knew what he was doing what what what did you make of his performance today? >> well, i think what he did today was very significant because earlier today and tuesday, a lot of what he did was show that cohen had lied in the past and jurors don't really care about that. i know that seems startling, right? because it does go to whether you should believe the person, but jurors, just like regular people, like the idea that they
11:15 pm
can size up if someone's looking at them in the eye, like michael cohen was, they can size them up if you as a defense lawyer, can show that a witness lied not a long time ago, but to this jury, right? the jury feels betrayed and that witness often goes out the window. so i don't know if that's what happened. i don't know if there's a comeback to this, but i think it appeared today he was very effective and that's what he was trying to do, was to show the jury that you never mentioned the 14-year-old or the tax or the purpose of the call or that you talked to, you never mentioned any of this until today. does that set up that moment with the jury feels betrayed? >> i really do believe so. and then you think about this and you have to piggyback this to the ultimate issue, which is this whole campaign in issue and campaign finance violation what do they have? they have that is the defense write this letter from the relating to finance campaign violations that says from cohen that it was paid from my personal funds. it had nothing to do
11:16 pm
with trump. it had nothing to do with it. campaign. so like this witness is lot what else are you lying about? >> right. in order to get it bumped from that misdemeanor to felony, you have to establish that that's the violation it was done because of that purpose to benefit the campaign. and cohen at some other time in 2018 is saying it was my money. it had nothing to do. trump knew nothing about it. the organization, the campaign, but now you're on trial saying that trump knew everything about it. it was all we were all involve when that it just looks bad. the optics a bad. everything's so on this you've got todd blanche, who has said that he is going to take this through today. >> any dead. >> and he's going to start again on monday then the prosecution is gonna have a chance for the redirect, which is gonna be crucial because they got to take this moment and they got, they got to turn it from something that can be terrible to something that does not terrible, right? okay. but she said she will have under an hour of redirect is that enough time to do it? >> it's surprising to me, i think that the defense council
11:17 pm
made so much headway today two then only try to recover for an hour and rehabilitate michael cohen within an hour seems incongruence with the task at hand. i do want to also say though there is a lot of other evidence in the case of the jury's looking at and saying what happened, like what happened in 2016. a lot of it is corroborated by david pecker. there's the 2015 meeting with michael cohen. it is explicitly about trying to influence the outcome of the campaign there are other pieces that are also explicit including so can this get to the level it needs to without say this phone call that's right because we do have david pecker's saying that in november, december, michael cohen system, please tell trump to reimburse me that is not michael cohen hiding things from trump. that is trumping in the loop informed about the scheme. so there's other things there, but i think what happened today's still is so devastating. they have to do something right now. if the case ended today and they were final statements, i think they
11:18 pm
will not be a conviction. >> right. but what we'll see what happens. okay. now, what about trump in the room? >> yeah, top is paying close attention to this more than anyone. i've seen him as far as a witness on the stand and he paid attention, i think to stormy daniels, but he was sort of looking ahead and wanting to ignore her. he was passing notes, i think to beauvais as he was listening to blanche and trying to figure out what exactly was coming next. i think he knew what was coming next. i think there were a couple of other good points to one, i'll mention when they played the podcast it was loud, it was michael cohen and the reason i think this hit home, michael cohen was a totally different person on this podcast. i think it hurt his credibility because how he's portrayed on the state, right. he's very calm exactly. >> this was a different person really saying bad things about trump. i was saying that next week, if if they aren't in thursday and you could have this basically over, but not to closing statements and have six days where they go away. >> that's that's that's not good but this weekend you've three days and blanche is going to come back and continue. >> who does that benefit? who does all this, these breaks benefit the most.
11:19 pm
>> well, i think this one benefits blanche because this is what the jury ends with and the prosecution does have redirect, but they've got a couple of problems. one is they can't talk to michael cohen police on cross. so they can't sit there and try to figure out oh, could it have been this call? did we get this wrong? so they're going to go in there blind when they do redirect on this question on next week. and i think that's gonna be very hard, more time i think it might be good to keep it short because sometimes the more time you take, the more you maybe telegraphing to the jury that you were really hurt. and i think they're going to want to do whatever repair they can and then and then sit down and stand but they couldn't talk to him today in the lunch break. they they weren't her unable to talk to him. >> yeah. you can't talk to him about the case. you can say do you need a water, mr. cohen are your hotel reservation set but not until redirect? >> yeah. and cross to redirect may go like that there is maybe no time to go through the actual timeline and the cost is what you're saying. absolutely. just quick point.
11:20 pm
>> erin. yes. there's this redirect rehabilitation, but then there's that re-cross. >> right. and so don't think that the defense doesn't get another opportunity predicated upon your redirect to establish what they want establish to write. >> all right. thank you. all. next, they were mortal enemies, but now this unlikely duo has bonded over their hatred of trump she reached out to me full of kindness and empathy. >> you have made a full turn in terms of telling the truth plus biden's new message to black voters, quote, remember trump it. >> but is that working to radio hosts who just spoke to biden or outfront next will take you to the front lines where russians are racing to take as much land as they can before american weapons start arriving again you could do have superseded when i first learned

11:26 pm
read a text cohen received from o'donnell before being called to the stand earlier this week, according to the new york times, an our later, the times reported another texts from the same number you're doing great. to which cohen later wrote back. thank you. and truly love you. those texts didn't just come out of nowhere either. i can't say enough about her as a person other than the woman is truly, uh, menchu o'donnel was the first guest on michael cohen's podcasts. >> may a copa back in september 2020, cohen, of course, pleaded guilty in 2018 to eight federal counts, including tax fraud and campaign finance violations tied to the same hush money payments. trump's charges stemmed from while cohen was serving part of his prison sentence, o'donnell not only wrote to him, but ended up paying him a visit. >> he was a woman who i had helped attack and vilified on behalf of donald j. trump. >> and she reached out to me full of kindness and empathy. >> i wrote you that letter and why did you to know that there were people who are grateful
11:27 pm
that you had changed your mind, that you had turned on him. >> i finally understood even more so just how much i had helped him to hurt people your included going back to that massive first feud, that massive feud goes back nearly two decades to 2006 when donald trump decided not to fire a miss usa winter after revelations of drug use and more saying he was giving her a second chance, o'donnell, a co-host of the view at the time model trump he is a loop window then there was this during a presidential debate in 2015. >> you've called a women, you don't like fat pigs dogs slavs and disgusting animals your twitter account only rosie o'donnell no, it wasn't.
11:28 pm
o'donnell later that night responded on twitter try explaining that to your kids fast-forward years just ahead of cohen's testimony, he was on tiktok live streaming as he frequently does to vent as he's testified, and a familiar face stopped by to give him a pep talk, but not listen to all of this negative magazine coming at you. what you lied about, what things that he made you do, and you have made a full turnaround in terms of telling the truth, it's support that's apparently been there for years. >> take care of yourself, and i'll text you next time i see on tv all right, so i mean, it's amazing to enter, remind everybody how nasty and that cohen was behind so many of trump's disdain and hate for rosie is their friendship now, really just that they have this similar disdain for trump. >> you know, it's interesting. i went back and obviously
11:29 pm
listened to when they spoke on that podcast, a lot of what she said was about how she saw a lot of herself in him that he seemed like someone that she just grew up with on long island. so you can combine that with the disdain for trump. and of course, boom, there, you have a match made in whatever you wanna call it or whatever it might be and and you know, like she's obviously characterized him as someone who has come full circle in terms of telling the truth, but that's exactly the thing that trump's defense team is trying to poke holes in his credibility in the eyes of the jury, and we know he's going to have at least one supporter throughout. all right. what was your guy is it is it is amazing to see just to watch the incredible transformation of all of this experian nature of it. omar, thank you. of course. next president biden tonight trying to make inroads with black voters guy and running against has done nothing virtually no except criticized

the pandemic that did not pay much attention to the suffering of the african-american community when people are reminded of how bad things were then and then you look at some of the progress that's been made last four years and i think some of those voters who are on the fence will ultimately come back around so tig, let me ask you about another slice of this. >> the way the the vote looks right now, harry anton runs a lot of these numbers for us, had pointed out this is crucial difference right now between young and old. now we see it across many demographics, right? but in black voting community on biden and trump. people who are 45 years old and older overwhelmingly support biden over trump. it's 75% to 12. but for black voters under 45, tig biden 60%, trump 32%. i mean, that is a totally different world why do you think trump is resonating more? or with younger black voters as we see in those polls are you to look no further than social media for the misinformation and disinformation as being put
11:37 pm
out there. >> lots of people in our community have this illusion that trump gave the hood money they believe that trump because he put his name when he six was the reason that money came to them and that while we were up, so to speak during that time period and, you know, like the older demographic, they don't have any problem fact check. and now here's something they'll go back though researchers see if it's true. du, a little research behind it younger people. if it's on a gram, it's probably true is kind of the thought process and it's rather unfortunate. you couple that with the apathy about voting in general and our community and it it could be problematic. >> so it's interesting that you point that out and just the role of social media, sherwin trump has pushed his own theory about his support of black with black voters. he talks about this a lot. he says that it is because of his multiple criminal indictments and his mug shot. here's one way he put it lot of people said that that's why the black people like because they have been
11:38 pm
hurt so badly and discriminated against. we've all seen the mug shot and you know who embraced it more than anybody else. the black population, it's incredible. you see black people walking around with my mug shot. they do shirts sherwin so let me just start by saying that is so incredibly offensive. >> and if there are african-americans, they can relate to donald trump because of his criminal indictments. it's usually because of policies that have been implemented and supported by republican let's. look at how he's being treated while he's on trial multiple gag orders. if it was anybody else acting the way trump acted, we would've been thrown in jail and it's also it's racist and it's stereotypical. african americans are law abiding citizens. and do not relate to him or gravitate toward him because of his criminal troubles. i think that is just showing exactly how outrageous donald trump is also showing. he is completely out of touch with our community. >> taig. you were nodding as
11:39 pm
you were listening to trump, there i couldn't agree more that black people are not monolithic in any particular way. from income to background two experiences to education. and for him to unilaterally assume that because we're black and were affiliated with the criminal culture and that's why we're resin or he's resonating with us is absolutely ridiculous take i'm curious. >> do you when you talk about the role of social media though, du young people are they seeing this or they offended by this? >> i don't know if they actually offended trump. is like when trump is like social media and like reality tv, if you will it's a train wreck waiting to happen and it's hard to look away and i think that's why he gathers a lot of momentum with young people because it feels like what they've grown up watching, what they're exposed to. i
11:40 pm
don't know if some people actually the people who should have been offended by that probably weren't. and that's also a problem. i just don't understand why you know, if we're if we're talking about it just to switch gears was a moment. yeah. you're talking about women in america and he's completely he helped take away the right to choose how is that even something that's on the table for you as a woman that they're going to vote for somebody who took your right to choice away so that is something that the vice president kamala harris sherwin has talked a lot about and made it and made a key part of the time she's spending on the campaign trail. >> we haven't seen as much of her, but she has been hitting that issue. and today she accepted an offer for summer debate against whoever trump picks. this is running mate senator tim scott says he's ready to go and he is already proving previewing what what his message is going to be. and we heard it even when he was running himself for the actual top slot here he is sherwin
11:41 pm
america loves president trump because he's plain-spoken, easily understand, and he is clear as a bell sure. one. will, senator scott, if he is chosen willie help trump no, i really don't think so, especially if he is on a debate stage with kamala harris. >> so the thing about tim scott is that he could have been much more helpful and much more influential on a john louis voting rights act. nowhere to be found on a george floyd justice and policing akre when the entire world was upset by what they saw with the murder of george floyd tim scott could have been very much a part of that. so even when tim scott had the opportunity to impact policies that could help the african american community. he did not do so and so him being aligned with donald trump is going to really show us who tim scott actually is. and contrasting him with kamala harris. i think it would be perfect for the biden campaign. >> all right. >> well, thank you both very much. sure. when take appreciate it.

weird turning 18 and having plans to go to college and just all of the things that i get to do now at one point, i didn't know of lucy was going to live or die and now i know lucy is going to do whatever she wants to do in this world. every single one of these kids gives us all hope today that no matter how hard your life is things can get better. one de to time but an incredible person and school sanjay, one thing though, when each of those kids that he's talking about that you were talking to the age at which they say their addiction started is so incredibly young, barely teenagers. >> i mean, what does the fact? that you need to have a school like this, say about the state of the drug crisis in this country well, you know, i mean, it's, it's a sad state of affairs. >> i think that that's the point. i think that we're hearing over and over again. it's the physical sort of embodiment of harm reduction.
12:00 am
so it's kind of an incredible place, but sad that it has to exist. aaron, i would tell you this that overall, if you look at the drug crisis in this country over the last few years, the amount of usage has actually gone down. but at the same time, drugs have become deadlier. they've become easier to obtain for people. so a lot of these kids, they're getting them on social media, the ordered on social media, though venmo drug dealer and they'll get their drugs. and that's why adolescent drug overdoses have doubled over the past few years one of the things keith said to me, aaron, that really stuck out because i have three teenagers as you know he said a lot of parents, they simply don't know for months that their kid has started using. and i'm not saying that to scare parents, but i think it's really important that you understand that, but also that the school can be a place where kids are an active recovery, not just sporadically, but for years at a time. >> all right. dr. sanjay gupta. thank you so much. >> you've got an aaron. thank you. >> and don't miss the
