11:03 pm
stole tens of thousands of dollars from the trump organizationofm th. e trum well, for a guy like trump that paid such close, close attention, how would that happen? now, according to one fake news, cnn analysappen.g to at. well, this is a more serious crime than what donald trump isw on trial for. and guess what? yog he knewe last. braha t all about it, but his last name is in trump. he hatesis tru. . now, even the media mobmob is forced to admital that political witch hunt is imploding. take a look. i'm stil hunl kind of reeling fm the revelation that michael cohen stole money from the trump organization and thate wasn't at least to my knowledge, that the prosecution didn't trum get that get that od earlier. >> the prosecution is painted, michael cohen, as sort of this bumbling, pathetic character whose only sins were his misguided, undying loyalty to donald trump. but now you see somethinge so a little different. now there'mething s, an argumene made that actually you're just an opportunistic thief. s neve
11:04 pm
the fact that he was never charged with larcenych is important because stealing $60,000 through fraud, which would be larceny in new york state, is more serious of a yo more, falsifying business fal records. >> they knew about this. they minimized it. sifyinbusinessthe prosecutor mie jury. >> that's what i would ask. are you allowed d to say that? >> yes, sir. oh, yeah. yeah. well, even fake jake didn't eve give opinion. left-wing opinion for a minute anywayn fake. unfortunately, one particularly deranged mzgee and c host defending michael cohen is shocked. t. >> i'm not. take a look. he very effectively got michaetl to say to agree that, yes, he stole $30,000. later, when cohen was asked about that about redirect by the prosecution, it didn't really souny d stealing $30,000.ounded it sounded a lot like michael l cohen. michaehedoing the little that hn within that calculatio tne bo to rebalance the bonus he fightinnu thougg. he
11:05 pm
and it still came out as less than the bonus he thought he deserved and the bonus he'd gotten a year before. >> now let's compare mft and cec to the actual transcript. m th trump's lawyer asks, quote, you stole from the trump organization and right. cohen responded, quote, yes, sir. cohenow, you don't have to be a legal scholar now, do you? but i'm pretty sure that thatre means cohen admitted to stealing from thas the trumn organization. but don't expect any charges from alvin bragg. cha. he's only interested in getting donald trump. does he made a promise get atel on the campaign trail? unfortunately for bragg, his star witness has been a complete, unmitigated disaster. cohen even admitted having a financial interest in the case. can't make that up eithe. r. cohen said he's trying to get a reality tv show picked uckedpa and might even use this trial as a way to run for congress. according to testimony any. o cohen has already made millions on the anti-trump p patriot through book deals, podcasts and, of course, whatever gifts that he's gettins he ig on social mediaer
11:06 pm
in order. why to salvage this train wrecki ? well. the prosecution there now at this late hour,n wrsecution . need a lot of help. but lucky for them, they havbut judge juan merchan compromise. biden donor who is blatantly abusively against all things donald trump. and today, as trump's defense began to present their case. wel oh, well, juan merchan well, he appeared read judgey willing and able to give bragg a helping hand. he knows probably deep in hisfan heart this is falling apart and he's trying to salvageg ands failing trial at one point. judge merchan exploded in on robert costello, a guy with impeccable credentialobs. while trying to limit the scope of his testimony, even threatened to remove threate frm the courtroom for rolling his eyes and question. >> are you staring me down? reallyst"? o as a reminder, the defense called on costello. why? n but there's this compelling story.
11:07 pm
>> take a look. basically,>> they only put in a small cherry pick groupented of emails. i presented maybmae 2 to 300 emails and text messages to them. i had them with me. luckil ty in chronological orde. they put two o tr three intoe io evidence. i asked them, are you going to put the rest of them into evidence? and theyd they said, no. he said specifically, and i cross-exam him on this.y this was my idea. it his idea to take care of the media because he had been contacted by a lawyer for stormy daniels who said she was going to claim that donald hadwh with her. cohen said, i didn't believe woulallegation, but nevertheless, it would be embarrassing to melania. that's michael collins words, he said. and so i decided to take car e this myself. >> comare back.of thi and according to testimony, well, apparently that story was told to many people in t the media mob. there's eric trump who will join us in a minute. he was in thmp in e courtre tod
11:08 pm
here's his quote. now, the judge's treatment of bob costello truly disgraceful. he would not allow him to tell his story, the same story. that he told congress, as he knows, will be devastating and end the sham trial. this is no t. he's correct. merchan, let stormy daniels testifcorrect.y. ghost's stories that were immaterial, irrelevant to the case. but the moment robert costello begins but t testify about histt interactions with michael cohen, their staior witness, pec and impeach his testimony as regard to the nda, and him saying over and over againand hi that, in fact, he did it on his own. well, judge, one merchan soughti to limit costello's testimony. thtimately and threatened to kick him out of court. judge merchan also putut strict limitations on another witness that is going to be usedg to b the defense, bradley smith, former fecth commissioner and aa expert on federal election crimes.
11:09 pm
now, keep in mind a critical part of the prosecution's caseim against donald trump. it is nebulous. this is a novel federal election crime theory. he was never charged in any way ,shape or form, not evenatte identified. but merchan is prohibiting bradley smith from testifying in ful l about the law in a court of law based on the statute in the law. is this not banana republis nocr kangaroo court stuff? but it's obvious what the judge is doing t th. now. here's bradley smith on this very program, who was also on levin'ssmit this program re. take a look.im m the claim made by the d.a. is the federal law says something is a campaign contribution. >>campaiion if it is if it's mar the purpose of influencing a campaign, and that's the argument. well, they were trying to do this because they thought if they could pay t hush money to stormy daniels, that would help trump's campaign. so that's the theory. dani of us would not thinkpaig that it is a campaign expenditurpenditure to try to si
11:10 pm
potential legal claims against you or other claimnss against or you for events that occurredre ten years before you talked about running for for office, you know, to pay for allegedly to pay hush money to to stormy daniels or anybody else. anyon and the odd theory of the d.a. bragd is that not only could b those expenses be paidray with campaign funds, they woulde have to be paid with campaign funds. i think, againy d , it's commonnd matter that's clearly wrong. but also, when you look at the statute and you realize that's an objectivee th, it's clearly t correct to say that these were funds that count as campaign expenditure between costello and smith. >> the big game over four of them brag and merchan knows that. so he's doinr fog whatever he cn to limit donald trump's defense to a court of lainw and, throw a lifeline. what to alvin bragg? why? e do because he's trying to save this case has gone down the absolute tubes. what this is what the weaponization of biden's doj looks like. this is lawfare. it's plain and simple. even the fars la director, olivr
11:11 pm
stone, is speaking out against this massive abuse of power, calling it the new form of wolf warfare lawfare. now, make no mistake, there is no crime here. there's no evidence herela. bragg's entire case hinges on, you know, uncorroboratedlae ca related claims from a convicted liar. and apparently they've who hates donald trump by admission, who himself would benefimission.himselt from trume and even testify that he told multipled that people that trumw nothing about this whole payment deal te o stormy daniel. and according to costello, bragg even withhelyment ded excy evidence from the grand jury, something he is compelle hd to present to the grand jury even after it was specificallyyn pointed out to him by costello that one of the judges came down on costello. down blockingcurrentlye real exculpatory evidence. he did it to the grand jury. nocow, happening to this jury, both of these anti-trump democrats are completely, totally out of control. this is a political show trial.
11:12 pm
show it is destroyinge just the credibility of our entire justice system. ice it's shredding our sacred your sacred constitution. and in the process causing great damage to your constitutional republio yourc. h here now with reaction. eric trump, he was in the courtroom today. i'm sure there's a lot you have to say. i won't even ask a questio n, o pe but you were there. do you want to describeop to people what whata wa actually happened in there? >> because the media waskick >> jnd courtroom was empty, but you were there, sean, i've never seen anything like this. i've beeun, notn by my father'e almost the entire time i've been. i've spent many, many days in the front bee row of that co, and i've never seen anything like i saw today. and you would thinku thin that transparency would be important in a court system in front of a jury to gek tra t to the actual truth. that's normally what you're supposed to do in court. and the exacy what y t oppositeg happened today. first of all, something's holdining isoldingg the judge bt and i think i know what it is. i think it's his daughter who's apparently making millions and millions and millions of dollars, raising millions
11:13 pm
for democratic operative as around new york, because today it was proven their star witnesrk, becas. ie cohen has lied over and over and over again. he lied to congress, he lied to senate. he lied to the attorney general of new yordak, lied in the deaow trial in new york. wi lied the southern distric yot of new york. he lied to his wife. heto judho judge palsy, whicfe the judge that sentenced him. he paid vendorims in bags of cah he stole from our organizationmn . right. so then we asked the judge for a motion to dismiss afte tl r all these lies, after michael agrees that he lied to all of these alles people, or he's , serial perjury, he's a serial liar. he can't be truste hd. or a he is their star witness. we asked for a motionn to to dismiss d and just goes nowhere because somebody is holding this judge.ack. and then when i look at what he did to bob costello, he wanted to tell thiscostello e he knows the details of this better than anybody. he met with cohen. n,e he over and over and over ad that cohen kept on saying
11:14 pm
that donald trump did absolutely nothing wrong. he has no informatio ing wrong.n. >> donald trump, he did nothing illegal. and everand at ey single chancee could you know, he could stop him, he could sustai couldn he d block him from any of that testimony. then then a, as you said before, the top fec lawyer in the country wants to testify about how there is no crime here. and agai and again, wouldn't allow the fec lawyer transparency should be at the heart of thisit case and the judge is blocking it at every single intersect . s and i sit there as a proud son, as a person who knows my father did do a thing wrong, and you just watch a sham in new at this kangaroo court where cod. ther's been censore he's been admonished, he's been embarrassed, he's been slandered, he's been held off the campaign trail. >> right. i meanmpaign., how much more doa a person need to go through and how much more obvious canle this be to every single american? exactly. what's exactlyhat is right now?h because my father, that manerth right there on the stage, is winning in every singl
11:15 pm
single swing state. >> he's mopping the floor he is mowith biden right. he's about to have one of the biggest rallies in new york y. tor you saw what happened wildwood, new jersey, last weehistory.k. and they can handle it. so they employ crooked judgesy and they will not let him out of this case, even though it woulcad have ended day one, second one for any other person who didn't have the last name trump. >> oh, well, this this this has gotten worse and worse. what i see happening and tell me it this is your observation, especially when you look at the impeccableervation credentials of somebody like bob costello ore b bradley smith, who we jut played. and i just think this is a biden donor judge. r you up.en you know, it's been writtenp ex about extensively about the daughter andte political activities and questions about whether sh ande might benefit as a result of this trial. he shouls as d have recused himselfstatut a misdemeanor, has a statute of limitations run out.
11:16 pm
nobody can even identify. but if i surveyed the jurorsow today, they couldn't even tell you what the what the crime doe is that brag the theory is because it doesn't exist. and this is now this is the country we're living in. i thing k it's backfiring. i think it's boomeranging. and it as hard as it is for you and your family and you and your father fact that theyo are he's desperately trying to throw them a lifeline. tellths that judge knows they lost. let me put it in context, sean. and their whole their whole ane wh is to barbarous and confuse people. pbut this is $130,000 from eight years ago and theyye have charged my father with 34 felony counts. lonyright.w thile they shut down all of new york every morning, they shut down the fdr drive on the way down, and they surround the courthouse for literally blocks and blocks with the.un lw enforcement presence you've ever seen. then they close the fd you havrp on the way uptown. you have every single day in new york, the top brass there
11:17 pm
of the d.a.'s office. they're all sitting there. they're all giggling. the reason th this is the years of time that they've spent on thisr for $130,000 from eight years ago for accountants, that book n a legal expense, a long time personal attorney as a legal expense. no one believes it. as little kids are getting eves it shot in new york and women are getting hurt and people are getting mugged, illegal immigrants are taking over the city and you can't shop at cvs a because everything's locked behind plexiglass because there's so much shoplifting. no i believes this. this is legal lawfare. it's been what they've been doinliftg to my father sincee he he came down that escalator. this is no surprisame e. anybody. they're out to get the guy. alvin bragg will stop at nothinge a and the way guys like soros are telling him, you take down donaldroblem trump because otherwise we're going to have a real problem november 5th. let me teln nol you, the whole country is getting it. the whole country is seeing it. oh, his fundraisin char off the charts because of it. he's winning in the polls because of it. you knowf it it's a lot of adverse consequences. you know, sometimes things somey back and bitehat'
11:18 pm
them in the. and that's exactly what's happening here. but it's just a shams s g righte that great man right there has to sit through this nonsense. he's a greate. he's a greatpersn person. he's a great father. and this country, a a lot bettg than this nonsense. >> i'm going to agree with last part. this country deserves much better. and it's sad so much. all right, eric, thank you. joining us now with more alsoegl in the courtroom today, trump legal spokesperson alina habb a. i want to get your perspective watching this this adam schiff show unfold today. >> len a. to yeah, that's a great way shaun. to refer to it. sean. it is s a show it's a biden show trial, that's for sure. if you look at the audience that's sitting there, ife an you look at the lack of evidence and you look at how caey are literally floundering because they have no case and it's coming ou it ist, you a there was something that occurred to me today and i was speaking to some t people ad i'm sitting there listening to this. and i think the american, anthis people need to remember something. sean, we just wrapped up, a cae
11:19 pm
with letitia james about books and records, about statements of financial condition takeundervalued. and here we are.same and they have taken the same issue and tried to stack a civil issue for $130,000 with 34 counts, what would normally be a misdemeanor. -- wuld nobut me under bragg, 5, percent are dismissed. and don't get charged.re and they're making it a federal crime because they're desperat e so let's not forget what this is. fi's the same trial i just finished. it's the same state. i just finisheni.same sd and gob demolished by crooked judges. and this is what we're doings. and it's desperate and it's obvious. and the rulings today,d th sean, as i spoke to you earlier on the radio, you know, i was infuriated. ot all to not allow an expert is aow a fatal, fatal error by the judge in. >> my opinion, there's so many avenues for appeal. >>em witm the appeal is there's a conviction that that happens afte happensra the election.
11:20 pm
how convenient. eleanor, we really appreciaty ae you've been in the courtroom every day and i can't imagine what that's like in reale in li. thank you., all right. here with more fox news contributor jonathan turley. e o he, too, was in the courtroomur today. well, what was it like for you? >> well, it was like being in a parallel because i didn't recognize much of it. it was particular bizarre to watch cohen sit theree on on the stand and admit that hefu stole tens of thousands mattollarssa dollars from his ct and rather matter. matter of factly, he committed larceny. but this isn't the first timeha he's taken the stand to admit criminal acts. you know, he went on the stand under oath and admitted that he previously committed perjury in a trial over his prior perjury. and the department of justice di priord, nothing. i mean, they had a ready made case of a witness saying, yes, under oath. i swear to god, i committed perjuro y in the previous trial. and the department of justice
11:21 pm
just shrugged and walked away. and here you have someone who admitted to a major larcen yo case, and the prosecutor had the audacity to get up and sayu ,well, you remind the jury that you're not charged with anything, are younot arged >> and i wanted to stand upsay, and say, that's the point. i means th there's a guy in this courtroom which most certainly should b charged, and he'sss your star witness. all ov yeah. let me ask you this, because you you have beeer case,n all os case and following every detail of this casewas th, i think it s your first day in court. am i correct about that? yes. or had you been that it was your first day, did you get a different feelin d g in there? did you were you in the courtroom and did you actuallyd get to see the whole the whole disaster with with costello? tello,are staring me down, useds you know, his credentials. >> i mean, they're pretty impressive. yeah. first of all, the most striking aspect of the day was, how oneeg sided the judge's rulings were from the beginning of the da th
11:22 pm
i was amazed at how he routinely ruled the prosecution some of his rulings against the defense. i stil e rulingainst thl don't underste got his mind around some of those rulings. they seemed completely wrong to me. but when it came to costello t, i was not in the court whenstan he went on the stand. butbut that was a really interesting decision by the defense. and i think it's partially because i that the judge is once again allowing not just the prosecutors, but michael cohen to tell the jury.iolati >> there were campaign financeon violations in the case and judge just offers this rather weak instruction that you shouldn't taktione that for a judgment on the law. you cajudgmentn ignore it. well, they're more likely to ignore that instruction than they are the repeaelt references to campaign violations. there aren't any campaign violatiorepeatedn wins by trumps case. but i promise you, the jury believes that thercase.elievee e merchan has allowed that to happen. that to and so i think that's rs
11:23 pm
they called costello eventually. he is a killshothot witnes theye decided they're going to put it all on the table and go forut a hung jury instead of just letting this play ou t and havecostel it reversed on appeal. and costello really gave the judglo gave a lot e a lot t. now, the one thing i would advise him and i reluctantlyul would advise robert costello because he is a storied prosecutor and famous litigator, i would say dia bobl down a little bit when he comes back tomorrow, the rolling of the eyebi s comments, his testimony is golden. he has to make surden.e he getst out and not trip wires with this judge because he still has a lot to telly th that jury that they're going to be quitare e surprised to hes >> i agree with that lasttion, questiondi. did you get a read on the jury? no, i didn't, because i was in the overflow so all i got t out of the overflow room regular whilhee. you know, i'm not allowedar anywhere near new york, so i'm fine with that. all right, professor, thank you. when we comehank youe come backi

11:29 pm
alan dershowitz and greg jarret t predicted, the judged ou pointed out that trump calling a lega trumpl would be allowede that would allow the prosecution to dution too s. their testimony would conflict with his own interpretation of the law. oh, okay. the judge therefore ruled the election law.ut experts at trump team wants to calls. a witness would be severelioye o limited in what he was able to say. the former fec chair th. another insane ruling, alan dershowitz, was in the courtroo m today. i he joins us along with fox's legal analyst, gregg jarrett. professor, i don't know if jonathan turley is going to like this. you are in the actua l you were not asked to leave. you actually saw thi s whole sho show go down with with bob costello and the judge. you know, are you trying to stare me down? and what is it? about, well, what is he talking about? he rolled his eyesed his. i'm rolling my eyes, you know, just hearing about what's going on that courtroom.
11:30 pm
i got to imagine in allth the years you practice law,in have you ever seen anything like this? fro no, i never have. r i sat in the front row, literally just feestt from wher all the action occurred. >> i rolletiond my eyes when the judge made some rulings that were absurd. and he first your evidence student would understand that he was making rulingsruling in favor of one side. i stared him dowoun, but costel did not. he acted like a normal witnessct ,and the judge went berserk. the judge violateds an trump's constitutional right to a public trial by kickingoom. the media out of the courtroom. i don't know why w i wasn'hyt kicked out and i heard him lecture costello. cturi am you. what you did was contemptuous. you looked at me contemptuously . and you know what reminded me of mae west when a judge said you are showing contempt for the court and mae westwe said, your honor, i'm trying my best to hide my contempt for the court. i'm sure, this i costello was tt
11:31 pm
to hide his contempt for the court, but the judge had such a thin skin that hey threatened him. he said he wouldsaid strike thet the testimony and hold them in contempt if he rolled a his eyes again. you have a constitutional right to roll your eyes and to stare at anybody. it was absurd. and then to sit so eyes an close to cone watching him give lie after lie, would you believe? v he actually said he would not have accepted a pardon from donalded a trump after he hadld previously said he would do anything to avoid prison. he would essentially he would lie, he would cheat, he would do anything to avoid prison. >> but i won't accept the pardon from. donald trump, if you believe that i've got a bridge to sell you in brookly have bridgen, tho many lies and then failure to. telow a full testimony from the expert when the other side t was allowed to introduce letters saying the jury will believe it. as jonathan correctly said, that it was illegajonathrectly s illegal. it was illegal. this expert was going to come in and rebut that. this w judge has committed.
11:32 pm
more reversible errors in thele one day i was in the courtroom than i've seenors th in and yeaf practicing law. >> it's just an outrage. you it really is., i want to explore with you, greg, the what what bob costello has been saying and isa that he spent an hour and a half on a zoom call a with brags people that he specifically pointed out exculpatory evidence, that he said needed to be presented to the grand jury and purposely didn't. now, in a grand jury, we always hear you can a ham sandwich. fair enough. but if a d.a. knows about exculpatory evidence, knowing the defense has no spokesperson there, don't they have a lega defl obligation to present that? do you see possibl, don'e legal issues for alvin bragg, possible legal issues or or eth ethical issues for the judge who should have recused in this case? >> oh, i absolutely do. associa
11:33 pm

11:41 pm
you can even become the nomineen and you can have the election. stolen from you. >> i think he's an illegitimate president that didn't really ime win. pro how do you, you know,es fight against that in 2020? you are absolutelywin. right. te >> the president is an thlegitimate racis pt occupying the white house. >> the russian are weighingssia in on the election. the russian attempt to have the electionatte and frankly, f the fbi is weighing in on the election. i think makebig of the make it s his election illegitimate, illegitimate. >> and my biggest fear is that l he's going to do it again with the help of vlad, his best paofl. and and we're going to be stuck for six more years of this guy. wi himand that is terrifying. it's terrifying. would you be my vice president? >> folks, look, i absolutely agre absolute. >> we had this little election back in 2018, and despite the finad despl tally and the inauguration and the situation, weration ourselves in, i do have very affirmative statement to make.
11:42 pm
>> we won, i believe wasn a stolen election.om >> and i'm not saying they stole it from me. they stole it from the voters st. eorgia >> can also add bill clinton and barack obama and hakeem a jeffries. i just don't have enough time. senator marc o rubio is herenato with reaction. you know, i justr mark. republicans don't go in prepared and it's a hostile environment, by the way. people don't even watch the sunday showsth anymore. , the days of brinkley and russert. they're long gonre le and are en watching those sunday shows like they used to. and i just love the fact when you go on, you don't taken, their . well, i mean, the premise is something that needs to bepla challenged, because the truth is that, you know, most people have forgotten that they dive d all that, you know, because it isn't widely reported. there certainly wasn't a string ,repeated interviews in which every democrat has asked this question. but i think we need to understand what's happening
11:43 pm
right this very moment. ths right nowocratmoment that are toying with the idea. there was a piece in the atlantic. there were people they don't pl wouldn't comment on it. some are toying with it with this whole notiong the thf trump wins, they will basically refuse to certif y because they're going to argue that he is an insurrectionist and therefore ineligible to hold office. and that will be grounds to throw out the electors of these states and so forth. they're already talking about that. and so i think it's importan that.t to point out that they should be the ones that are asked, i believe, if i'm not mistakeneh ,i would say 12, maybeared o 13 democrats have appeared on meet the presn s in the lastm year under this host. no has t a single one of them hs been asked the question of whether they will accept if trumwin,f trump no matter. what. they were never asked that question. they need to be asked the askee. ey havaus they're the ones, as youe said at the outset. they have challenged, they have disputed he c the credibility and the legitimacy of every republican presidential win since 2000. >> yeah. i mean, it's an again, we didn't include obama. we did include our hakeem jeffries. we didn't include bill clinton . and they've all done the same
11:44 pm
thing, too. they're ale oo.l election denie. but you're right, the media never asked that question. jana why? you know, just like the januaryy six committee, the five people that are on record sayin sg donald trump approved 10,000 national guard troops and it was muriel bowser who denied it and writing. you have the capitol police chief begging for national guard troops. yoolic they didn't want to bring him in. they kept out conveniently in their hollywood produced primetime special led by liz cheney, that, you know, donald trump said peacefully, patriotically, you know, march to the capitol. so your voices will be voi hear. all of this is distorted. now, we're in the middle of this trial. what's your reaction to what happened in the courtroom whateing wihappening with thial. weaponization of the doj? well, i mean, first, the trial is a national embarrassment. i mean, the whole world is watching this thin gd to and wondering, like, what's happened to america? america used to put sanctions on countries that did this kinds of thing.
11:45 pm
and then you have michael cohen. michael cohen is like the fredo in godfather. he's desperate to you know, he feels lik e he's you know, ae others have impressed that have gotten ahead of him. there are other some more impressive. so he wants to have something of his own. he ends up betraying his family and almost getting imown, people killed in the process. and that's michael cohen. this is a guy that wasbetrays h you know, rendered some sweet over at the hay-adams all witng across at the whitel house. all the people he used to work with over at the trump organization are now in the whiteh th he white was house.t and he's been left out and he's miserable about that. and so he's desperate to go ou.t ,see what he can invent on his own to try to impress donald trump and try to get himselfat i back in. and that's what's coming across here, not to mentions cros fact that the guy is an admitted convicted serial liar and apparently now also a thief who stole money from the trump organization. agaip organ to be able to go back and take credit for having achieved something and having something on his own without anybody telling him to do it. >> this this whole thing is a disasterng i that if i ever told anybody that the leading candidat.e for president of the republican or democratic party, for that matter, the republican party in this caset, would
