tonight, a dramatic day in
court.
good evening.
i'm norah o'donnell.
and thank you for joining us.
the first-ever criminal trial of
a former american president is
nearing an end.
late today the prosecution has
rested and now donald trump's
legal team has a case.
closing arguments could begin in
about a week and then the former
president's fate will be in the
hands of a jury.
witnesses on the stand today
made for what some experts are
describing as a "wild day."
michael cohen, trump's former
fixer admitted under oath to
stealing money from the trump
organization during an intense
cross-examination.
and then fireworks during
testimony of a defense witness
that led to the judge clearing
the court room.
and reprimanding the witness for
rolling his eyes and making
comments under his breath.
well, there is still one big
question...
