michael cohen was in the box for hours, with the prosecution going over details about how michael cohan, donald trump, and others interacted with each other in the organization. as a former federal prosecutor, what do you think is the purpose of that approach? correspondent: they want him to be as believable as possible. they want to try to lay the groundwork for leading up to the main event, which is trying to show that donald trump did in fact understand they were being written off as legal fees and he was part of that decision and was well aware of it. so, it was a lead up to that fact, which michael cohen testified to today. anchor: just to be clear, making so-called hush-money payments of itself is not illegal, but what is at issue here is how it was accounted for, isn't it? correspondent: yes, and it is still not clear, actually. the way this has to be handled by the prosecution's there has to be an underlying crime that he was trying to hide. it is still not clear what that underlying crime is. the prosecution has never come straight out and said it. it appears to be some nd of c

why michael cohen was there. what really surprised me is when the cross started this afternoon, donald trump had this demeanor of where he was closing his eyes again for sustained periods of time. he wasn't always watching the witness stand, i believe only once or twice because he's seen kinda looking over because he has to lean over to actually see the witness and that's not the way anyone expected him to be engaged. i think, especially as it was his attorneys time to grill michael cohen when stormy daniels was getting crossed examined, he was paying quite close attention. it was not the same way today, which stood out to me given of course, his hatred for michael cohen is much higher even than stormy daniels, elie, how do you think todd blanche did? i mean, he is actually not an experienced trial attorney. well, he's experienced trial attorney on the prosecution, sayyed, but defending is very different. and by the way, prosecutors are not very experienced at cross plus examination. i'm just going to say candidl
