bragg is playing hide the crime. but regardless the payment to stormy daniels was not an illegal campaign donation, athey investigated and say, no crime here, the feds stepped in, they investigated, no crime here. manmainly because payments for silence in a nda are not criminal they are common corporations do it every day. but the biggest charade is that bragg star witness against trump is mik michael cohen, a notorious liar, who told so many whoppers he was -- just to curry favor with prosecutors and shave time off of his sentence, bragg is taking a misdemeanor case and he is bootstrapping it to a mystery felony federal clank thcharge that does not actually exist. larry: cohen is a bottomless pinnochio to use "washington post," i thought joe biden was only one. but cohen is a bottomless pinnochio to the third or fourth power, whatever john edwards, former president bill clinton, they had shall we say personal issues, they did shall we say take care of them with a 7 degree of rimmunerration but none got busted thrown

it can be very frustrating as alvin bragg's office is likely frustrated now. these are a vol num mouse amount of documents. we're talking about literally tens of thousands of documents have been turned over from the sdny's investigation into this very same thing, things involving michael cohen, involving other witness, all of the above. all the parties have to sift through it. >> not to get too much in the weeds here, but the d.a. has said there's only about 300 documents that are relevant. if you're arguing on trump's side in front of judge merchan, what are you saying? >> as a defense attorney i gravitate towards those arguments. i'm saying, well, i don't want to take the government's word for it. >> i have to look at each document myself. >> of course, of course. in the discovery process there often are massive amounts of duplicative information. however, this defense team is going to want to cross their ts and dot their is. the key statutory language that charles is referring to within your possession, custody or control. trump's team is making this argume

bragg said the trial is dead. we can't do the trial. that was one of the problems and the jumped should have allowed that to happen. other issues like the radical left from the doj put into the state working with letitia james and then was put into the district attorney's office to run the trial against trump. that was done by biden also and they can't win the election because of the boarders and energy prices and because of inflation and afghanistan, worst and most embarrassing day in the history of our country. he wasn't win because of russia issue russia, russia and because of all the problems and you crane being attacked by -- ukraine being attacked by russia and can't win because of octobe, which he should have never allowed to happen and would have never happened if i was president and ukraine would have never been attacked if i was president, and wouldn't have inflation if i was president. we didn't have inflation. so so they do election interference and that's court cases and tie him up and take as much money as possible and i r

in a new filing, prosecutors for alvin bragg say the court should reject trump's attempt to exclude evidence and arguments about his intent as well as testimony by stormy daniels. and of course by the gentleman you just saw, witness michael cohen. prosecutors say trump's motion to prevent cohen from testifying, quote, reads more like a press release than a legal filing. meanwhile, the ex-president filed yet another motion today as he lashes out at the case that bragg is building of election interference at its heart. his plans to use the infamous "access hollywood" tape as evidence and bragg's request for a gag order to protect witnesses, jurors, and the integrity of the case from trump's inflammatory rhetoric which prosecutors have laid out as well as the death threats that immediately follow from his most extreme supporters. or trump's alternate reality, what he calls, quote, supposed -- supposed threats and

the alvin bragg case was supposed to start today.n other words the conversation is solely about trump and legal problems and not about the issues, issues that joe biden has failed on as far as inflation and crime and the border and immigration and foreign policy and education, energy, trade. we're not talking about those things. it helps him in that regard but it hurts him because obviously this is something that is providing 1.21 jigawatts petroleum for donald trump's campaign. he looks like he is a victim here. larry: yes. >> you see the bragg case for example, a federal judge called michael cohen, a serial perjurer, which may explain why he goes on cnn and msnbc so much. that is the thing they see these clowns like fani willis, michael cohen or alvin bragg. no one is taking this seriously, no one. larry: every time one of these cases comes up now, it helps trump. every time one of the issues comes up it helps trump. joe biden and his crowd dug themselves into a real bad legal, political hole and one of the many misjudgments of tha

>> well, it's not alvin bragg's fall if he didn't have that, he didn't have them. that being said, he did provide some back in june, donald trump didn't challenge that or say you weren't doing a diligent job to try to get it because anything remaining, he provided them back in june in june of 2023. and now, just in january, donald trump turns around having to subpoena this. so he's clearly waiting to the leg good opportunities to do so. and he didn't push the fed as i read and understand to get the documents to him, whatever they may be. so this is not something within the control of the district attorney's office. this is something that's in worth control of the us attorney's office i'm glad you made that distinction. i think is lost. a lot of people i think da alvin bragg and tried to get them from the us attorney's office. they didn't give him over. they had the opportunity to do so over a year ago. but why is there daylight? explain to people about why there is this is not the same entity, obviously, everyone knows that alvin bragg was prosecuting and an eye to

s bragg's off consented to another delay of the trial. the issue at hand is a new trove of records turned over by the feds in the southern district of new york, tens of thousands of records. specifically 31,000 pages of records the u.s. attorney's office just handed over to bragg's office yesterday. now, the d.a. specifically pins this newest delay on trump, saying thaton trump's legal tea waited until two months ago to request this massive trove of records from the u.s. attorney's office. and don't get me wrong, i am sure trump's legal team is using every opportunity that exists to create delays in this case. it is what they do. but d.a. bragg's office and the u.s.ic attorneys office know th. and one of it reasons this appears to be happening so late in b the game is because the u. attorneys office requested repeated extensions that trump's side consent d to according to alvin bragg. when the u.s. attorney's office asked trump for a comment on the delay, the office declined to respond. the fact this latest delay might bow a responsibilit

and look at bragg. he has now like five braggs, like one bragg eight another bragg.and bigger like one of those russian nesting dolls. i think the court cases are having the opposite effect on trump. they hoped it would handicap him and to some extent it did by narrowing the amount of time spent on doing other things. turns out that trump, with less time on his hands, is a better trump in general. it's not just him. i think these cases have also deepened and galvanized support. people see how the democrats have galvanized law there to subvert an election by destroyie candidate so it is creating a new persona for trump, the defiant victim, who through his persecution represents everyone else who isn't a member of the approved elites and their pet causes. so you look at what is being done to trump and you wonder to yourself, hm, could they do that to me? you are right, they will do it to you, they did it to a lot of the jan sixers, while putting them on a public trial. it can happen to you, jesse. >> jesse: is there anything you like is able to sketch artist? >> dana:

we told night rally bragg. cash banking word. we talking about cashback, cash, cash back in, cash back, like a pro with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? >> jan. sugar ray leonard you everyday tasks wearing boxing gloves? >> hi, bert >> and now putting them his new arch bit sketcher slip-ups. you just step in and go with comfort that will knock you out to try new arch fit hands three sketches, lipids. >> so i can take all these trips because priceline has all these amazing deals and that's what i said deal on your right is our infinity deal the deal's >> deals are 30 or heavy price >> i know what it's like to perform through pain. if you're like me, one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, nortech, odi team may help it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attack treat and prevent all-in-one. >> don't take if allergic to nortech, allergic reactions can occur even days after using most common side effects are nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain relief

alvin bragg said we will give them 30 days. the trump team wanted 90 days. judge ultimately ruled. >> ainsley: enough time to information. >> steve: judge says no and alvin bragg says we will see. >> lawrence: they didn't have all the facts and documents before they decided to charge. if anybody needed any evidence of this being political, every it now. >> ainsley: let's turn now to more headlines, a man is critically injured after being shot with his own gun on a rush hour subway train in brooklyn. look at the cover of "the new york post." the man reportedly pulled out a gun after becoming very aggressive with another commuter who was wrestled, who did wrestle the gun out of the first guy's hands. and then fired multiple shots towards that aggressor. this shooting comes just days after new york's governor kathy hochul deployed 750 members of the national guard to help boost safety throughout our subway system. james crumbly, the father of michigan school shooter ethan crumbley, is found guilty on four counts of involuntary manslaughter. in 2021, ethan kille

you should have new york where they thought, oh, this bragg cases kind of thin girl and we don't have to i can i cannot imagine that that they wouldn't weigh in on somebody else's case, what they would do, maybe say, maybe we still have a strand of this investigation that's open. we're not going to turn this over for some reason that they have as of this case embarrasses them too. some degree, right? here's alvin bragg, basically making a case that they walked away from that does not shroud them in prosecutorial aggression and glory, which is where they prefer to beijing >> the response to that is to not give over evidence which makes them look even worse. >> i mean, that's and that's why i don't think that that was the reason. i mean, you're going to turn it over now in response to a subpoenas just going to look worse. i can't imagine they made that deliberate decision not to turn it over beforehand, but we'll maybe we'll know more when they morgan for the former president, this is a huge political when you delay, delay, when, when, when dysfunction and it feeds into all the there is

alvin bragg's office says only 300 relevant pages. who would take his word for it and why alvin bragg didn't push the feds to turn over the documents for one year is prejudice of the accused in this case. as everybody has pointed out, this is a weak case. if you look at the indictment, alvin bragg has not identified the underlying crime, which the defendant is entitled to know before he goes to trial. this case has a whole host of problems defense will try to exploit. >> lawrence: you have all these d.a.s that don't want to target non nonviolent crime, but have gotten wind in their sails to go after the former president, i don't understand the hypocrisy there. >> the hi ypocrisy should be evident to everybody. they all seem to be mrith cally motivated, designed to damage trump and timed to damage trump during an election. that is classic election interference. what they didn't appreciate is the many -- of course fani willis seems to have self-destructed before our very eyes and now the alvin bragg case has a problem, as well. their be

i believe that the da, al bin alvin bragg, was not responsible for the delay in documents.t else is he saying? he'll rule from the bench on the timing of the trial? >> right. already, he has delayed ahead of today's hearing, delayed the trial through april 15th. after the first about hour and a half of this morning's hearing, he was repeatedly asking todd blanche, donald trump's attorney, as to how many of these 200,000 of pages of any documents related to key witness, michael cohen, did they actually need to go through. the prosecution, from alvin bragg's attorney, said 300 pages were actually relevant to this pending case against donald trump. but when repeatedly asked by the judge, donald trump's attorney suggested it could be potentially tens of thousands of pages. clearly, it irked and frustrated judge merchant, suggesting this was simply a delay tactic in order to put off this case even further. even last night, you saw that todd blanche, the attorney for donald trump, suggested he had a new phone conversation with the u.s. attorney's office about pages of evidence re

first the alvin bragg matter. this goes back eight years now. the judge today, how do you evaluate that case, what should we expect in terms of moving that ball forward? >> substantively it is a terrible case but it will go forward. a high probability trump could get convicted because what has happened here is alvin bragg has taken one transaction, which years ago if you brought it at all should have been a miss demoney or falsification of victim records. the state wasn't deprived of any tax revenue. he has carved it up into 34 acts he labeled as felonies that could put trump behind bars for over a century. so it's a terrible case but the judge has been pretty much a rubber stamp on everything that bragg has wanted to do including his theory and the current dispute is over discovery. the judge is not going to throw this case out over discovery violation. he gave them three extra weeks to prepare and to go through the documents, which bragg says are either duplicates of stuff already got or don't help him. the most important thing i think is that

we have heard pushed from alvin bragg's office on that agreeing to at least a 30 day delay. but really all of this is going to be up to the judge and what the judge inside that courtroom determines. cnn's paula reid and kristen holmes, are both here outside this manhattan courthouse. and pull it. i think it's important to remind people because we've been talking with all the different judges here. this judge has been maybe the first that we've really seen who has been very aggressive in addition to judge chutkan and washington when it comes to the timing yeah. and cutting trump's team off when they've tried these delay tactics, which we know has been their strategy in every single case. this judges in very strict, i wonder what that portends for what the judge will do today. >> so it's interesting because trump's team is asking for 90 days if the case is not dismissed, we don't expect it's going to be dismissed. so they're asking for 90 days to review this new evidence that was handed over by federal prosecutors but the district attorney is saying, no he's a delayed this 30

here's alvin bragg basically making a case that they walked away from. so that does not shroud them in prosecutorial aggression and glory, which is where they preferred a base. >> so their response to that is to not give over evidence, which makes them look even worse. i mean, that's and that's why i don't think that that was the reason. i mean, you're going to turn it over now in response to a subpoena it's gonna look worse. i can't imagine they made that deliberate decision not to turn it over beforehand, but we'll maybe we'll know more when they show morgan before for the former president, this is a huge political win, delay, delay when, when, when dysfunction and it feeds into all the theories, all the all the fake news and conspiracy there as it is winding up anywhere that i mean, the truth is though this isn't the case, which i mean, we know this isn't the case when i went to trial, that was gonna be the case that >> that is at least from a political perspective, the one is going to help the opposition are people who are concerned about trump retur

alvin bragg said in his filing today, look, i asked the u.s. attorney's office for all this stuff last year. they gave me a subset of what i asked for. trump waited until january. issued a subpoena of his own. and lo and behold, very recently gets back. it is now hundreds of thousands of pages of documents including some of the very same stuff i asked for and didn't get. i can't explain this. but because i can't, i will agree to an adjournment. >> after the u.s. attorney's office provided 73,000 pages of discovery. his office's initial review were largely irrelevant. they had produced about 31 pages of additional records. an additional production would follow next week. this came after trump issued that subpoena. this will delay this trial it looks like. we will get the month delay. >> we'll see. but think the judge will agree. >> the trial will probably go forward. >> and the judge, he is the one judge we have seen who is not playing games herement he has kept tight control over his courtroom and his courtroom calendar. she lost the ability to

the point is that alvin bragg asked for documents ages ago, and for whatever reason, d.o.j.y late in turning things over. what i can tell you is that when you get stuff and you turn it over to the defense in, you know, on the eve of trial or within a week or so of trial, delay is very likely to occur. and the reason i'm so concerned that the d.o.j. seems to be the one that for whatever reason was dragging its heels, we have yet to see the d.o.j. prosecute a single higher up member of the insurrection. it has slowed and derailed, at least 30 days, maybe longer. it has slowed the prosecution of a former president who is about to go to trial on march 25th. i very much look forward to what the u.s. attorney's office and the department of justice has to say about it, because i assume it will be all in that detailed timeline that alvin bragg's prosecutors and trump's defense attorneys present to judge marchand on march 25th. >> um, melissa, we have about 30 seconds left. do you think the new york case is still on track to go on trial before the november election? >> i think it's p

if it had been properly charged as one, bragg says that the conduct happen in 2017. it would've run in 2019. this is a very stale case. >> bret: it seems many legal experts, and i've heard you talk about this and others have said it was constructed in a way to make this case go forward. that others might not of brought this case including the previous prosecutor. >> i can't imagine anyone bringing this case other than bragg and bringing it against anyone but donald trump. the crime that he is claiming that trump was concealing when he supposedly or allegedly falsified the business records is a federal campaign finance violation that bragg does not have authority as a state prosecutor to prosecute and that the two agencies and the federal government that do have that authority, the justice department and the federal election commission, both looked at and decided not to pursue trump because they didn't think it was a campaign finance violation. >> bret: very quickly, that makes for a potential -- if he is convicted, a potential appeal sounds pretty juicy. >> i think t

former president trump did show up in court for manhattan da alvin bragg hush money against them, that one looks tenuous, too. watch the case and the new york civil fraud case. >> this case has been brought three and a half years ago and they want to try to do it over election, it's election interference. that's all it is. disgrace. on the other decision, they will close what's necessary for the cash or bonds, a decision we appreciate and respect the decision very much. we have a crooked judge and attorney general, absolutely crooked. cash he will put it up 170 million in cash so that the new york civil fraud case, inflating his assets people saying a victimless crime the new york state ag letitia james using consumer fraud law meant to fight overpriced refrigerators to take an empire away but let's talk about the alvin bragg case, manhattan da. trump but not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, this case the 2016 payment he allegedly made for stormy daniels. trump is facing a state criminal trial but for filing federal election laws alvin bragg has no jurisdictio

if alvin bragg saw this filing today, look, i asked the u.s. attorney's office for this stephanie gave me a subset of that and trump waited until january and issued a subpoena of his own and, lo and behold, very recently gets that and it's hundreds of thousands of pages of documents including some of the same stuff i asked for and didn't get and i can't explain it because i can't i will agree to a 30 day adjournment. >> for some of those details trump had requested a 90 day delay in the trial at the us attorney's office. and provided discovery and brag said it was largely irrelevant except for 172 pages of witness statements and the district attorney said the u.s. attorney's office on wednesday produced about 31,000 pages of additional records to both prosecutors and trump's lawyers and indicated additional production would follow by next week. that is wild, dumping thousands of documents coming after trump issued that mid-january for additional materials for federal prosecutors. that will delay this trial it looks like and we will get the mont

bragg, let me read from that. he wrote this on march 8th, the defendant filing a motion alleging a grab bag of arguments in the latest of a long series of attempts to evade responsibility for the conduct charged in the indictment. the defendant has taken ever possible step to evade accountability in this case for more than a year. he sought the deter the grand jury from considering the charges by promising quote death and destruction if he were indict. he sought to intimidate the

if you look at bragg, bragg had a fit over that. he said this trial is now dead. that was one of the problems,j'e allowed that to happen. and you have other instances like: angelo -- colangelo. colangelo is a radical left from the doj working with the state with letitia james and the district attorney's office to run the trial against trump, and that was done by biden and his thugs also because they cannot win an election because the borders, because of energy prices, because of inflation, because of afghanistan, the worst and most embarrassing day in the history of our country. he can't win because of russ russia russia, because of all the problems, because of ukraine being attacked by russia. and he can't win because of the october 7 attack of israel, which he should have never allowed to happen. would have never happened if i were president, ukraine would never have been attacked if i was president, and you wouldn't have inflation if i was president. we didn't have inflation. so what they do is they do election interference,c which is court cases and let's try

former president trump is bringing that up in connection with the alvin bragg case on the hush moneyment. that's delayed for 30 days. the former president said on social, the things that took place at the manhattan d.a. office in conjunction with the doj put in charge of "getting trump" are truly a sight to behold. withheld thousands of pages of documents and the shady pomerranz issue. and it will make fani and her lover -- and pomerranz was termed to get a prosecution of trump and quit after bragg initially refused to prosecute trump. he then wrote a book about the whole thing, which is now out there for all to see. now, i have not read the book but i have read his letter of resignation, published in the new york city and letter that jim jordan sent to him demanding he appear before congress, the trump camp says he unfairly disparaged the former president and all sorts of evidence what might be malfeasance in the prosecutor's office associated with this. the taint of politics and pressure is all over so many of these cases. >> yeah, and it's actually worse than that, i think, john,

alvin bragg said when the indictment was announced almost a year ago. >> the defendant repeatedly made false statements on new york business records. he also caused others to make false statements. the defendant claimed he was paying michael: for legal services performed in 2017. this simply was not true. it was a false statement the defendant may month aftermath -- after month in 2017. april, may, june, and so on through the rest of the year. for 9 straight months, the defendant held documents in his hand containing this. why do we continue to make this statement? covering up crimes related to the 2016 election. at its core, this case today with one of allegations like so many of our white-collar cases. allegations that someone lied again and again to protect their interest and evade the loss for which we are all held

and what happened is that trump had accused the prosecutors, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg,ery violations. he went so far as to say there was prosecutorial misconduct. and the judge utterly rejected that today. the court said essentially, why are we here. because he said that the allegations were no semblance to what had actually happened. in fact, trump's lead attorney in this case had spent several years, had spent 13 years in the same federal prosecutor's office . the judge pointed out, knew the rules and procedures. the prosecutor, alvin bragg, had slammed this as delay tactics, and it was very clear that the judge agreed. the significance of this writ large is that we are -- seem to be headed very headlong into the historic first criminal trial of a former u.s. president. ben: and we just saw the former president donald trump. he didn't look too bothered. he is facing lots of legal challenges, as we know. and the other one, in the other decision today, it was decided he has got to pay a lot less in terms of that bond. it was going to be half $1 billion or so, almost of

and the ex-president is allowed to make statements about district attorney alvin bragg. if his ruling, the judge said that the need to protect the integrity of the process from the defendant with one of the biggest platforms in the world. as trial neared it pushed him to issue the cord. quote, given the eve of trial is upon us, it is without question that the imminency of the risk of harm is paramount. the rules was issued hours after trump made two statements that would arguably have violated the gag order. times records in a rambling and angry post on his social media site on tuesday, he made a reference to michael cohen, claiming without explanation that his former fixer, was, quote, deaf. and referred to one of mr.

alvin bragg wrote the judge urging him to deny the immunity claims. then there's the mar-a-lago documents case where he was in court yesterday with special counsel jack smith. trump's team was arguing two different motions to dismiss the charges against him. the judge denied one of trump's motions to dismiss based on alleged vagueness in the text of the espionage act. we're still awaiting another ruling from cannon on his second attempt to dismiss based on the presidential records. yesterday she did seem skeptical of trump's arguments. then the coup case in washington, d.c. that case is on hold after the united states supreme court agreed to hear the immunity claims. those are scheduled for april 25th. there's no telling how long the high court will take to decide the case. meaning the likelihood of that trial happening before election day remains slim. melissa lee is here and dave aaronwood is here. i'll start with you. alvin bragg said trump never asserted presidential immunity as a defense and he waived any argument premised on the absolute theory

and another development today, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg push for trump's criminal hush money trial to begin as soon as possible in mid-april. and if the judge agrees, sources tell me it could rattle the race, forcing trump off the trail for weeks in the spring to

bragg is saying 30 days. i see him coming down on bragg's side. >> the d.a.n -- i guess it was cy vance who had the papers in the case when they were investigating. >> it's the u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. they will be in the hearing, too. >> my apologies to cy vance. the legal cases he is facing, none have a trial date. we are a month away from the supreme court hearing the immunity issue. the delays are playing into his favor. at some point, the immunity issue is what everyone will look at. >> that's right. i think these delays, which has been his tactic, now he has an extra weapon to help him pursue that tactic, which is to throw out arguments about presidential immunity that are perhaps ridiculous and novel and courts take a long time to opine on novel things. it is working for him. i think we will see a trial in at least the hush money case in manhattan before the election. possibly the beginning of a trial in the january 6th case, depending on how the supreme court rules and how fast they rule. you are right, the delay tactic for

according to the filing from alvin bragg more than a year ago, he asked for the full grand jury record relating to michael cowans campaign violations from ny, that included search warrant returns, really, he asked for a lot of this information, and they produced a subset of what he requested and they produced that as they should have, back in june of last year, now, in january, donald trump serves a subpoena for a lot of this material, and in march, a few weeks ago, sdny produced some materials that largely alvin bragg says are irrelevant other than a few hundred pages of witness statements but then yesterday, they produce another 30,000 pages of documents and alvin bragg said this is what i asked for more than a year ago. so there are real questions as to why, if he asked for it over a year ago it's getting produced less than two weeks from a trial date and that's not all. sdny also said that they have more to produce, and they are looking to make a production next week. this trial is scheduled for the 25th. you cannot be producing documents on the eve of trial. this prosecution happe

and a alvin bragg, the d.a., actually joined donald trump in asking for a delay, which was caused by who withheld i think the number is roughly 73,000 pages of relevant documents withheld for a full year. i'm betting that within those thousands of pages there is some exculpatory evidence because, remember, bragg's predecessor refused to bring charges. federal prosecutors looked at this and said, there are no crimes here. and even the federal election commission looked at it and said, you know, hush money is not a crime in exchange for a nondisclosure agreement and it is absolutely net illegal campaign contribution, which bragg now claims. >> brian: what you told me last time is the statute of limitations should have been up and they extended and should have been charged as a misdemeanor and made it a felony. good luck with that. that's how you want to take down the first former president ever to be indicted. and that was the first one to actually file charges. so, best of luck with your great witness michael cohen. who is known for one thing. and he admits it, to lying. and then take

that's being brought by the manhattan district attorney, alvin bragg. could we see a decision from this judge any moment now, on a trial date puts yeah, i would actually expect that the judge is going to come back after this morning's arguments and set a trial date. the district attorney's offices said they would be okay with the 30 day delay to review this additional evidence. but the trump team is pushing for 90 days and things not going quite as well for the trump team here in this case this morning, the judge clearly skeptical of their accusation that the prosecutors conspired with federal investigators to withhold evidence and just release it in recent two weeks. and he really pushed the trump team to show proof or case law or something to support these serious accusations that they have made against the prosecutors here. so the judge, for a few times there he is his temper flared a little bit. his voice was raised, so he's clearly very skeptical of what the trump team who is alleging here. and it's important to know how much of this is relevant, r

in new york, after new documents were handed over, bragg said he is open to a 30-day delay.arning the southern district of new york is handing over 15,000 documents today to the manhattan d.a.'s office. that's the second new tranche. trump lawyers will receive this for the first time. there were 73,000 before. what does this mean for the hush money case? why did they not put this material out a lot sooner? this was material from a previous southern district consideration before alvin bragg took over apparently. it's information they had that had come from michael cohen that did not lead to the prosecution under vance. but it did need to go to the trump team. doesn't this seem like a big error? >> first of all, we don't know yet what the communications were like between alvin bragg's office and the southern district of new york last year. in a filing they made yesterday, alvin bragg's office said, we asked last spring for a lot of the same records that they have now produced to us. we didn't get them then. we only got a subset of what we asked for. everything that we had we t

the manhattan district attorney alvin bragg proposing a one-month delay in the start of trump's hush money trial. trump's accused of trying to conceal payments to adult film star stormy daniels, the first of the former president's criminal trials was supposed to get under way less than two weeks from now. prosecutors said they just got their hands on tens of thousands of pages in documents from the justice department, and they want to give trump's legal team up to 30 days to review them. prosecutors noting there will be another production of documents by next week. >> what did the committee want to know -- >> reporter: the repocords are related to michael cohen. trump has pleaded not guilty. his legal team demanding months to go over the new records, which would delay the trial even more. >> david: to be clear on all of this now, aaron katersky with us live, so, in florida, judge cannon strongly signaling that this documents case will move forward. in new york city, this hush money trial, likely pushed back at least a month. and then tomorrow, we're expecting a major decision in the

he had a preexisting relationship with de a bragg. he worked with him in the state attorney general's office, decided to go over to help with the trump case. there is no basis for the claim that biden or other doj officials put them there, and i just want to add that i think we're so used to former president trump making these, these broad allegations of he said illegality, criminality, and corruption accusing specific individuals of corruption, calling the investigations illegal criminal. there is no basis for any of that. and i think it's just what he does. so we tend to brush it off but i think it's important to address it when he says it again >> absolutely and daniel, please stand because he did continue talking after we moved away from him. so there's going to be more to fact check their standby, daniel. we want to go to kaitlan collins again, katelyn, this is effectively a preview of what we're going to see as these cases play out, trump coming before cameras and not only defending himself and what's happening in the court of l

i'm being prosecuted by biden, my opponent, every one of these things, whether it's fanny willis or braggthey're in state but in total coordination with the white house. you can't do that. it sho that. in the case of the d.a.'s office, they put one of the top people, maybe the second person in the office to get trump. they had a hillary clinton lawyer lead the law f prestigious law firm, leave the law firm to go into the d.a.'s office to get trump, pomeranz, so he goes in to become a prosecutor, worked for the democrat party and hillary clinton and goes in to prosecute donald in total coordination with the department of justice, meaning biden. then you have fanny willis or she would saw f-a-n-i, and she hired somebody before the horrible prosecution took place and went out and paid them an unbelievable, more money than you would dream possible, much more money than other people that do that for a living, he never did it at all and had no experiencet all and they had obviously a conflict and we don't have to go into that but it was a high person, me. i'm a very high profile person and were

alvin bragg's office said, can you give us the paperwork? they just got to it and handed it over to him. same time trump team asked for a delay and now all of a sudden, everybody wants a delay. here is the exact statement. people are prepared to proceed to trial on march 25, we do not oppose adjournment in abundance of caution to review the new material. we do not oppose brief adjournment. they need time to read the stuff. >> that is right. i can't help thing department of justice is playing games here. they are prosecuting president trump in d.c. and florida and this case went first, indicted first before any other case. the federal government was well aware president trump has right to look for information on other witnesses. this looks like game play and i don't understand why the judge is not sanctions department of justice and alvin bragg's office. >> brian: you know why, it is new york and legal system does not like trump. certain firefighters do. >> ainsley: can't someone above alvin bragg say this is nothe fair, they need more time.

a letter addressed to bragg contended a threat and a small amount of white powder. then, days after trump was arraigned in court, bragg received another letter, again, containing white powder and a death threat. one year later, not much has changed. trump continues his assault on the justice system on a near daily basis. he has publicly attacked the prosecutors and the judges involved in his legal cases. as a result, they've all received threats or been victims of harassment. trump, previously referred to alan bragg as an animal, using anything that sounds a lot like the ritual but that he referred to new york state attorney general leticia games. the past year, mote with received numerous threats and harassment her last christmas, the justice department's special prosecutor, jackson, the victim of a swatting incidents, when somebody falsely's reports an emergency to trigger a massive and potentially dangerous police response at the residence. last fall, fulton county district attorney paul lee wallace said she received at least once 50 personal threats. a few weeks

alvin bragg, even alvin braggs office announced they were not going to pursue this ridiculous kind ofecution against president trump. threading in a federal offense is intrastate charging document to avoid a statute of limitation problem. d.o.j. then sent a high-level official to go work is alvin braggs right hand. as a senior advisor and lo and behold there office takes a change of course and decides to proceed on this case that relies on us entirely on the credibility of one michael cohen. there is a lot of probes about d.o.j. acting you do not have that character in the front office right now you have got a guy who o s behind jack smith. who appreciates very creative and i use that a pejorative term a prosecution against a sitting president or a former president and someone who is the number one contender against this administration. mark: and with the public to understand and attorney general couldncould seek intervention oy grounds including we don't agree with this local prosecutor's interpretation of the federal fl election act. we do not agree with the actions that are being t

the order does not cover statements against the judge or manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, former assistant u.s. attorney andy mccarthy is wondering why the gag order only applies to trump? let's watch. >> there don't seem to be any of the witnesses talking about trump but he can't talk about them under circumstances where he is running for president. i have always thought it was odd that you can clamp down on his speech by everyone else he is running against in the race can speak to their heart's content about his legal trouble. >> harris: byron york argued bragg went office by promising to go after trump. don't all the guys on the left? isn't that their jam right now? he did go after trump. resurrecting an allegation that more responsible law enforcement agencies had declined to prosecute. bragg came up with 34 felony counts against trump with a maximum sentence each with four years if prison that would result to 134 years behind bars for the former president. matt, as you look at this, why not put a gag order on not just alvin bragg but any of these liberal district attorney an
