westerhout, the former executive assistant in donald trump's white house just last week when they had a zoom meeting with her for more than an hour before her testimony here. so of course what we're watching michael cohen and the prosecution go through is a very quick order. i mean, we've only been inside of that courtroom for less than 90 minutes now, and they are already almost done telling the karen mcdougal story here, and so to the point of the conversation you guys were just having, this is moving rather quickly. michael cohen is not somebody who publicly is typically short on words, so it's probably a matter of execution here for the prosecution and what they need from michael cohen, rather than giving him just an open floor but one that is moving with pretty quick pace here at this point. >> and at this moment, they have just brought up some phone calls that donald trump and michael cohen had. one was a 2:31 phone call, another an 8:53 phone call back in june of 2016 and then a couple of days later, they also show some texts between michael cohen and dylan howard from the "nat

westerhout, one of the prosecution witnesses, a former trump white house aide, had testified that sometimes he signs checks without looking at things or she's in a meeting or he's having a conversation they could have taken that golden nugget in their closing argument and hammered away at their point that they made in a very roundabout, lengthy way, which was that michael cohen did this on his own because he wants credit for everything. and donald trump didn't know about it. so now the problem is for the prosecution is that the one connection, the one point that will win this case for the prosecution is the jury believing michael cohen that he had the meeting with donald trump after talking to allan weiss silverberg, trump's former cfo about him getting reimbursed and that they went into trump together and had this meeting and trump approved the deal. there's no other testimony that's been presented in this trial that trump approved the deal, except from michael cohen's testimony. so now the prosecution needs to show that whether or not michael cohen is a credible witness, which he is not i

madeleine westerhout. so to me, i think the jury probably does not think as much about michael cohen as we all do, and we're talking about them as we are here. but what do they think of donald trump? that's what this comes down to. >> jamie. i again very curious about the judge's instructions on the law because i'm still not sure after all these weeks that i understand the new york state law. >> but i do think jurors use a lot of common sense. i think there's usually a judge will tell them to use them they're common sense. we have yes. the documents? yes. michael cohen. you also have the audio tape up between where michael cohen recorded donald trump, where he says what will pay in cash and michael cohen goes, no, no, no no i think that the closing arguments will crystallize a lot of that. i do wonder whether the jury is going to wonder where is allen weisselberg? >> because he's the guy who's handwriting is on there. >> the prosecutors didn't call him, but the defense didn't call let me either i don't thi
