anna bower is a correspondent at l'affaire. help me understand the timeline of what it is you witnessed. you saw him annotating, making notes on their remarks. >> it is hard to speculate exactly what is going on, but after lunch time on monday as i noted in my new york magazine article when i read about this, trump was actually going through a printed out sheaf of papers that had quotes from individuals including jd vance. jd vance had been in the courtroom. one of the quotes said something like what is going on in this courtroom is a threat to american democracy. this, in fact, is something jd vance said outside the courtroom. the timing of it was that the speech was given maybe an hour before trump was going through this. he was going through and making notations. probably trying to figure out what kind of things he might want to put on truth social later, i don't know. but the overall point is that everything happening in that courtroom is very coordinated. all of the messaging is coordinated, almost like a political convent

anna bower, legal fellow for law affair. she's been inside the courthouse this morning. good morning, what have you noticed and seen this morning? >> right. so this morning we had the continued cross-examination of michael cohen, and it once again was a bit of a meandering performance from todd blanche. at times he covered ground that he already has covered many times before during his cross-examination over the past several days. he's focused on michael cohen's credibility, portraying him as someone who is a liar, someone who's motivated by fame and money, but there were two substantiative portions of the cross-examination that i think are important to point out. one is that michael cohen did testify that there was some legal work that he did for donald trump in the early months of 2017. that of course goes to the defense's key point that they are likely to argue in closings, which is that these reimbursement payments, in fact, were payments for legal expenses, just as they were marked in the trump organization ledgers. prosecutors allege that was a false statement. the

also with me is anna bower, courts correspondent and legal fellow for law fair. thank you for being with me tonight. melissa, it doesn't seem like a coincidence that all of the trump trials have been delay would the exception of new york. can you disabuse me of the notion somehow these judges are giving him preferential treatment? >> i know donald trumpfe likesr say he'sru been treated poorly relative to other defendants, buthe certainly no other defendt in america has been allowed to sort of play out the system in the way he has. and the immunity case i think is a really great example. as you say he is running for president, which means if he is actually entitled to criminal to know he would want that right now rather than labor with this sort of damocles over criminal liability over his head. instead he seems perfectly happy to let the supreme court take its sweet time in deciding. i think you're right it's unlikely we'll get a decision from the supreme court tomorrow. the decision in georgia that was a case moving and had considerable momentum. remember in sep
