empire, catherine ii. may 4, on the first.nversation, we talk about vladimir nabokov, about his biography, about his books, and my interlocutors, today the head of the nabukov center of the institute of russian literature, the russian academy... reads his collection of poems, rereads it, understands its significance, directly quotes himself, or rather, well, as if in a novel, we see these poems written by him, so he rises to the pinnacle of pride and thinks, thank you , fatherland, that’s it, his career is successful, you are recognized, he thinks, but then a miracle happens, because... we see how the poem is written before our eyes, imagine that we would have a text where pushkin would describe how he writes, i remember a wonderful moment or i erected a monument to myself that was not made by man, nabokov has all this, let’s listen to vladimir vladimirovich, i am still far from thirty, today it is recognized, recognized, thank you fatherland for the clean, having sung it very close, a lyrical possibility flashed, he caught th

catherine the second most important result of catherine’s foreign policy was the annexation of the territorypire, that is, tamania, crimea, and the entire right bank of kubania. this made it possible to weaken the position of the ottoman empire, which for centuries was one of the most important competitors of the russian empire, to increase trade relations, access to the southern seas, southern trade lines and, in principle, to strengthen the borders, because it had already been the crimean khanate for many centuries, decades. posed a threat to russia, as a result of this foreign policy, the crimean khanate, in fact, its territories were included in the russian empire, and became one of the peoples living on the territory of our state. peter i managed to decide access to the baltic sea, catherine ii, who considered herself the successor of the work of peter the great, got the decision to access the black sea. clashes with the ottoman empire began much earlier; the crimean khanate was on its side at that moment, which had reclaimed the ottoman empire. russia had a situation the most... turkey

catherine ii thinks absolutely imperially.he black sea at this moment. and then the empress decides to send ships, an expedition from st. petersburg to the mediterranean sea. the expedition was a very successful one. this is a model of the flagship, the commander-in-chief of the russian fleet, general anshef, count alexei orlov. it was orlov who developed the plan for a military operation against turkey in the mediterranean sea. for his victory in the chesme battle, he received the right to be called orlov, chisminsky. in this battle, russia destroyed the turkish fleet, followed by a number of other victories, including those under the command of suvorov. the kuchuk-kaenardzhi peace treaty was very beneficial for russia. the crimean khanate is now independent of the ottoman empire, the new crimean khan is loyal to russia, but without the support of russian troops, his position shaky. later in... in 1783, catherine decides to annex crimea, and without military action. the sale of slaves stopped, because crimea under the ottoman

catherine planned to push back.ine empire here under a russian protectorate. voltaire fully supported this idea. the project was multifaceted, but the main thing was that in the 17th, 21st, and early 20th centuries, russia wanted to provide passage through the basphorus and dordonelles to the mediterranean sea. this issue could have been resolved in the first world war if the russian empire had won it. the main ideologist of this geopolitical project was his holiness prince grigory potemkin. if the byzantine empire were re-established , an orthodox cross would be installed over the church of hagia sophia. according to catherine’s plan, her youngest grandson, born in 1779, would become its ruler. here are his portraits from the ramitage collection. it was not by chance that he was named konstantin. the founder of the byzantine empire was constantine the great. however, this project did not take place. suvorov alone is not enough for such a project, despite all his great talents. of course, somewhere the armies there

also with us, catherine christian and scott sundby. going over in the courtroom a series of texts back and forth. tell us about what this is all about. >> reporter: right, they're entering into the record texts between dylan howard of the "national enquirer" and gina rodriguez, working as the manager for stormy daniels. what georgia longstreet is doing is being the conduit for entering into as evidence not only the text messages, but also several tweets of donald trump, particularly right now ones from 2018. ones that came after it was revealed that stormy daniels $130,000 arrangement with michael cohen and part of that on may 3rd, 2018, of course this was just months after first publicly reported, this arrangement, there was a three-tweet thread that donald trump said in part, mr. cohen, an attorney received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign, and had nothing to do -- having nothing do with the campaign from which he entered into through reimbursement of private contract between two parties known as a nondisclosure agreement or

catherine was much more than her fiancé.he birth of her son pavel, and by many. with the special kind of activity of sergei soltykov, the husband was generally indifferent to her, consulted with her, by the way, even about favorites, but they were completely alienated from each other, they didn’t even hate each other, they lived separately. elizabeth, dear aunt, yes, catherine was oppressed in every possible way, just to understand to what extent she was once forbidden to cry for her father when her father died, that his loss was small, his ranks were small , and accordingly it was impossible to mourn him, right up to this. they watched her, peeped through keyholes, forbade her to even have any lackeys who showed any warmth towards her, that is, they were immediately kicked out of the palace, they were forbidden to go to the bathhouse without asking, to go for walks, she only sent letters to her parents according to the collegium foreign affairs, all the rumors, everything that she said was reported to the empress, and she w

it is unclear. >> i'm with catherine. i think it is hazardous to ascribe certain traits to certain people based on what they do for a living or what they look like during trial, whether they're attentive or inattentive. i might have my eyes closed and be listening to everything. someone else might be taking notes that turn out just to be scribbles and doodles. >> some people do sketches, like, court sketches while sitting here at this desk. >> it is impossible to figure out -- >> are you calling me out? >> me? no, i want to go to lisa rubin, i'm told you've been nodding as we're having this conversation about the jury. >> reporter: yeah, i was thinking about it, an experience i had with a jury not so long ago myself. i was on a criminal case, chris, in 2017 and 2018, where one of the jurors was reading a book during every break and every side bar that is called "the subtle art of not giving a f word". and i have to tell you, on our side, the defense side, we were mesmerized by this book, which the juror ostentatiously dis

catherine exclaimed: now i see with my own eyes that russia has a black sea fleet.yar bay was studied during the first russian-turkish war, measurements were made. the fact is that its location, its organization is so convenient for maintaining a harbor and a naval fleet there, because it is shot from both sides, blocked, there are convenient approaches, there you can block off and secure the depth of the bay, so it was studied back in 1771-72, then in 1700. his personal participation in the development of crimea, which is why he chose the place for sevastopol. russian sailors have repeatedly proven their fearlessness, so in 1829, during the next russian-turkish war, the world was shocked by the feat of the crew of the brig mercury. the small ship was attacked by two large turkish ships. the death of the brig seemed inevitable; there were only 20 guns on board, while the turks had more than 200 large-caliber guns. commanded brig mercury, brig mercury, then captain-lieutenant alexander ivanovich kozarsky, and he calls a meeting of officers, they call the company, inv

catherine christian is still with us. also with us, andrew weissmann, former lead prosecutor in robert mueller's special counsel's office. good to have all of you here. so since you just joined us, where would you pick up? >> let's just take the $60,000 that michael cohen said he stole. you know, this is the kind of thing that catherine and i when we were prosecutors and put on witnesses who had done lots of bad things, the defense wants to, and has an obligation to bring out a lot of the bad acts of what they have done before. but very often those bad acts, evidence of it is the witness, in fact, saying it himself or herself. here, michael cohen is the one who provided the evidence of it, and the amount of evidence is one single witness, michael cohen, and one of the things you will probably hear is what we used to argue to the jury, which is when michael cohen says something bad about himself, that should be believed. take it to the bank. and when he says he stole money, which, by the way, the only way people know about

and catherine, maybe catherine can tell us, you know, as a prosecutor, what that line looks like as welle is trouble here, i don't know, and i guess that is the advantage that the republican think they have right now is that, because they have found a way to shave the truth and that the law, the requirements of the law on top of it waiting for someone to catch them. >> i think catherine may be-- i think will be able to speak to that, but i know, they came pretty close to it and i was playing, i was thinking of that interview at new york magazine gave on msnbc this week. he was in the courtroom. he actually saw donald trump writing down things that these folks should say, because donald trump has got pretty narrow lanes, in terms of what he can say. so, he is directing them, according to what andrew saw about what to say out there. it seems like donald trump can't say it, who is just wanting people to say it, it seems pretty crazy about me. but i think we are living in crazy. so-- >> we should play the sound. let's play the interview of andrew on chris hayes saying what he saw. >> welcome

here we are in the city of sevastopol, yes, that is, you know that catherine the great, catherine theanslated from greek it means sivastos, city, half-city. a city worthy of glory, a city worthy of worship, look, the only city, a medal not for the capture, but for the defense of which was established twice, the first defense of the 349th day of the crimean company, the second heroic defense - this is already 250 days of the great patriotic war, sevastopol fully justified its name, this is really the land, that’s where so much was the blood of our ancestors was shed, wherever you go in the historical center, here is a bastion, here is a mass grave, here is a battery - more of a similar example, i believe, even in fortification, yes, that is, in the defense of cities you will not find even in world war stories. "investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, in russia there is a clear and clear signal, is russian industry capable of replacing foreign suppliers, it is necessary mobilize all resources, give

patrick is the future 1st lady of ukraine. catherine with too much income. well, of course you can say that the catherine clara had a very peculiar background or that she would very closely with the united states government on behalf of his operations against the ukraine, the soviet union, and the success of the russian federation. catherine, to too much income, grew up in a family of ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the us after world war 2. what catherine made a brilliant political career a little bit less than some support. i just wanna see for the 8 because i need it, which is on ones that you completed for somebody to schedule it for the vila find me to come to a very few that is supposedly take. so if you have some reason, so you can save yourself, why the marriage evict to yoshika and catherine to make certain co was out of love will convenience is no longer important. but when they came to power in 2004 active notification of ukraine began them to clear up from what jumped up from chest all of the to mr. miller. just think i, me is

— what's the atmosphere like, catherine? ., , , catherine? the atmosphere is electric.atmosphere is electric. there is pumping - catherine? the atmosphere is i electric. there is pumping music playing out from the speakers. i'm sure people around the world would know of south africa's piano music. the crowds have been dancing. this has been a bruising election for the anc though, poll after poll shows the party losing its outright majority in parliament. the last poll was just from a few days ago and shows that it would gain about 40% of the seats. this is a huge come—down from the 57% it was able to win last time back in 2019. now there are huge challenges for the anc as it holds rallies like this, trying to convince south africans to vote for it. on the one hand, there are questions about what it has done during the last three decades in power. there are questions about creating jobs, the lack of electricity and poor health services as well. but there have also been divisions within the anc, some of its biggest leaders of the former presidentjacob zuma, have its bigge

well, joining me to discuss this is the economist catherine mcbride . and catherine mcbride.therine, a pleasure to have your company. thank you very much. what's your view? i mean, is inheritance tax actually a big fund raiser for the treasury because it actually causes a fair amount of heartbreak for a lot of families, does it not? >> yes. and it's a very small earner. it made last year less than 1% of all of the money raised by the treasury , it's raised by the treasury, it's terribly unfair. it basically hits london in the south east more than any other part of the country, in fact, twice as many people in london paid inheritance tax than all of the people who paid it in scotland, wales and northern ireland added together it's very much a tax on london. it's very much a tax on property because anne was in a very nice position to have liquid assets that she could give away to her relatives, but most of the people who were hit by this have, wealth of between sort of one and £2 million, and it's generally tied up with the family house. so in order to give that away, they'd ha

what do you think, catherine? >> cause confusion.row it up on the wall and hope it sticks because you want the jurors to go back there and like not know what the heck is going on, which means reasonable doubt for one or two people. so an inordinate amount of time prosecutors telling him not to speak. trying to get cohen back to himself. >> saying he plays by his own rules. i know you have to go, there have been eight objections by our count over the last 24 minutes. tell us your take on sort of the what we're getting in materials terms of color from chris hayes and our producer and the approach that's being taken so far? do you kind of establish something at the beginning when you're doing cross-examination? >> i like the approach so far. i just had a trial where a guy had dna on the trigger and handle. made it about the bad search of the cops and the police who did bad. which they did. ultimately, it was a hung jury. if you can change the narrative and make it about stormy daniels and michael cohen and make them angry and agitated a

this is historic, catherine. a former president, current candidate, not just candidate, but the presumptive nominee, for the republican party, for president this year now awaiting his fate in a criminal trial. your thoughts? >> i go back to what happened which i thought was offensive two or three weeks ago, you had the speaker of the house and a number of senators elected officials, congress people, outside of a courthouse, trashing a judge and the judge's daughter in the name of this presidential candidate and former president. and it sort of keys into what charles said, it is, like, the rule of law and respecting the rule of law, and i hope whatever the verdict is, and i hope there is a verdict, that it will be respected and we won't have -- if it is a conviction, you know, the speaker of the house or the senators trashing the rule of law. >> we're seeing right now, in case you're listening to us on radio, we're seeing some family members of trump, one of his attorneys, not in this case, but one of his attorney

venice, london, berlin, rome, and even with the granddaughter of catherine ii, catherine pavlovna. which ii will be called the small courtyard. it is then that tver will begin to adopt the customs and attributes of metropolitan life. tver is a small town in st. petersburg, as there was a saying. yes indeed, residents of tveret, and especially the residents of veretyanka tried not to lag behind the capital in any way. for example, tver socialites loved card playing salons. it happened that we lost fabulous sums. that is why the fabulist, and also the then vice-governor of tver, alexander efimovich izmailov, ridiculed the morals of the tver ladies in his fable, calling them playgirls. the ladies in tver are not nice to me, they trump them all day, damn them. so what do you think, these tigresses took revenge on the impudent scribe, filed a complaint against him, and the vice-governor was demoted went to serve in some wilderness. in general, as the unforgettable general said from the peculiarities of the national hunt and so on, all the evil comes from the women, well, i don’t know. in fair

if not the next day you should go on the might on stage with his wife. catherine, too much income, a us citizen and prime example of how america had long been raising future leads for the former soviet republics. refinance one to a to a process of allude. sure, but it's stuff. let's fix that. or you shouldn't go cox, who got that in too much of a demo with a felicia which escaped audio on la you. good idea to be sure. and then photo from 1984, sunday behind nationalist at school. i'm president riggins closest aid. kirkpatrick is the future 1st lady of ukraine. catherine for too much income. well, of course you can say that the catherine clara had a very peculiar background and that she would very closely with the united states government on behalf of his operations against the ukraine. the soviet union and the success of the russian federation. catherine, to too much income, grew up in a family of ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the us after world war 2. what catherine made a brilliant political career commission because a little bit less than 2 loops of thumb supp

this is the big statement, catherine. it is difficult to conceive of a case with more corroboration. he's tried to do a bit of explaining why michael cohen is the way he is regarding donald trump. that that's exactly why donald trump picked him, but now he is getting to the crucial point. you can't just believe everything when the papers, when the texts, when the evidence is there. >> witness by witness corroborates most, not all, because really, the oval office meeting and trump tower meeting, that's basically only michael cohen. but the argument is going to be the circumstantial evidence and yes, some of the book evidence where he describes himself as like knowing about the paper clips and reading the invoices of the decorator, but pecker calling him details. hope hicks even saying he was really hands on in the campaign. all of that evidence, the corroboration is circumstantial. >> they're spending a lot of time right now rehabilitating cohen and they're saying this is as well. eventually, cohen came to the realization

and catherine, paul, paul, stay close. we will check back with you throughout the hour as we review this. inside trump world, how the former president's inner circle plans to push his campaign forward as the jury is deliberating and after they reach the verdict. that's next when "andrea mitchell reports" is back. stay with us. just 90 seconds only on msnbc.

gascoin was accused of treason, and the wise russian empress catherine immediately invited the talentedrms maker to russia, concluding with him an open-ended contract for the construction of factories throughout the country. building a plant in a sparsely populated region was extremely risky, it was difficult, and karl glaskoin understood this, he brought with him 12 english specialists who settled on english street, in addition, workers from closed lipetsk, olonet factories, and from kherson were transported to the future plant under construction. they come here with their families and settle here and start building a factory. the lugansk plant has never changed its weapons specifications. during the patriotic war of 1812, it was one of the largest manufacturers of artillery pieces and ammunition in the empire. lermontov's famous lines about the battle was barbed, volleys of thousands of guns merged into a drawn-out howl, this is just about the lugansk guns. about a quarter of all the artillery that took part in the battles came from lugansk. our guns from the lugansk plant naturally t

so catherine, what's the situation where you are at the moment? a while the situation is die at the start of this range. this school was completely flooded and in sections of it are still flooded, including the toilet. so the children who have come to school today, they are not able to access those facilities. and that as a stuff, courses where the teachers toilets are, are to as little people cannot. all the children they're talking about. 1200 children cannot. uh go to those facilities at all. it all. joining me is a head teacher join to adela. thank you. so much shoot the students really be here and this the constance is it's not right. thank you. my name is john king abdullah bed. a teacher of these groups, schools individually, slang or computer subscript. indeed the question of yes, as to me, as like now it is not, it would be for the atlanta us to be here. but given that to we were given directive to but to squeeze out the door open. and you can see some of the alumnus out already in school. they are learning to come to school. that's where

catherine and andrew are absolutely right. this is part of what we're listening to from the testimony of mcconney and perhaps the prosecution just hasn't gotten here to this point. but we're looking at to what extent was his understanding that this was in fact a reimbursement to cohen. he here has outwardly acknowledged inside of the courtroom that this was, in his mind, apparently not a normal legal retainer. yet alone for michael cohen, somebody he described who had been somebody he had engaged with in conversation at the coffee counter inside of trump tower. but now instead, you're looking at michael cohen's testimony becoming of paramount importance because weisselberg, the name giving reference inside of this courtroom, is unlikely to testify here. he is currently at rikers jail after having, after pleading guilty for perjury stemming from the civil fraud suit. previously, he had already served prison time in which he pleaded guilty as part of a tax evasion scheme through his work with the trump organization. so we're hea

>> why is this important, catherine? >> i don't understand it.were saying they're legal retainer. >> mr. cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to ms. stephanie clifford, stormy daniels. neither the trump organization nor the trump campaign was a party to the transaction with ms. clifford and neither reimbursed mr. cohen for the payment directly or indirectly. blanche, that's true, right? that's a true statement. michael cohen says correct. blanche, you used your own funds to pay ms. daniels? michael cohen says yes. blanche, president trump reimbursed you his own funds, right? >> either president trump from his own funds or the trust. folks. >> you know, so many times i would be sitting in trial as the prosecutor, and a defense attorney would start down some path, and i remember thinking, uh-oh, where is this going. what did i miss, how did i screw up, and then it goes absolutely nowhere. >> i didn't miss anything, i didn't screw up. i have no idea why. >> all that's happening right now is that mr. cohen is repeatin

first lady of ukraine, catherine claire, too much income. well, of course you can say that the catherine clara had a very peculiar background and that she worked very closely with the united states government on behalf of his operations against the ukraine, the soviet union, and the success of the russian federation. transferring to too much income, grew up in a family of ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the us after world war 2. what catherine made a brilliant political career, can we show a little bit less than 2 books of them support a just see a for the 8 because i need it, which is almost the same for the 1st time i will schedule a believe you look, find me to console very few to is supposedly take so if you have some other reason so you can see the way the marriage of victor yoshika and katherine should like jenco was out of love will convenience is no longer important. but when they came to power in 2004 active notification of ukraine began to clear up pretty much jumped up from just all of dates. and mr. miller just

first lady of ukraine. catherine claire. too much income. of course, you can say that catherine clara had a very peculiar background that she worked very closely with the united states government on behalf of his operations against the ukraine, the soviet union, and the success of the russian federation. calculating to too much income, grew up in a family of ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the us after world war 2. what catherine made a brilliant political career a little bit less than 2 loops of some support. i just wanna see for that that will be because i need it, which is on wednesday. you can see the personal schedule it for the visa. i mean, it comes with very few that it's supposed to take. so if you have some other reason so you can save yourself, why does a marriage evict to use and to, and counseling to my 10 co was out of love will convenience is no longer important . but when they came to power in 2004 active notification of ukraine began to clear up from what jumped up from chest all of the to mr. miller. just

the city grew up around the plant, which was founded in 1795 by decree of empress catherine ii.o governor general count zubov, about the establishment of a foundry in the don. district near the lugan river and about the establishment of lomka, found in that side of the coal. there is a legend that when tsar peter i was returning from the azov campaign, he passed through approximately these territories, they showed him coal and told him about its properties, to which he said this mineral, if not to us, then it will be useful for our descendants. that is, he seemed to have foreseen that coal would actually make, to some extent , a revolution in the industrial production of the russian empire. having learned about this, that coal had been found here, and needing that it was in close proximity, well, to the theater of military operations, that is, from the crimean peninsula, it was necessary to build a foundry that would produce weapons for... scottish engineer carl gascon. it is unknown whether the future founder of the lugansk foundry would have ended up in russia, scottish engine

if convicted, should trump go to jail, catherine, you go first.aner matter what you feel about donald trump, this he felony falsified business records is not a jail case in new york. there's no prior convictions that involved looting millions of dollars from the company so i don't think he is found guilty, that judge merchan will give him a prison or jail sentence. >> i think catherine's analysis is spot on. the only wildcard is that trump has been so vocal about discrediting the criminal justice system, the judge attacking the prosecutors to that part of the sentencing process is ensuring there is respect for the law and promotes respect for the law. i think whether or not there needs to be prison time, limited just to make sure that that project does not go unpunished. >> minute that the judge could say, you know what? and you have been sent a bad actor, i need to put you in jail to send a message. >> under the federal sentencing law, actually, promoting respect for the law is a statutorily required factor that judges have to consider i am sure

why would they be focusing on karen mcdougal. >> this point by catherine is so important. it's donald trump's own voice. this is not an experience -- but michael cohen saying donald trump said this. this is pecker saying that donald trump called and said this. you always want to look at the cleanest vehicle by which the testimony and the information is being provided to the jury. michael cohen by all accounts had some credibility issues going in. what's pecker's credibility issues? we haven't heard any, right? so maybe he has a little bit of a memory thing that needs to be tweaked here or there, but generally speaking, again, there was no grave attack on him on cross examination. so when it's donald trump saying it to david and then david saying t you have two of the principals in the conspiracy. two of the active participants and the third one was michael cohen. and/or allen weisselberg. they're kind of interchangeable. if you kind of look at the hierarchy or the food chain a little bit different now, you've got donald trump and david pecker really doing a lot and then th

gascoin was accused of gazmen and the wise russian empress catherine immediately invited the talented russia, concluding with him an open-ended contract for the construction of factories throughout the country. it was possible to build a plant in a sparsely populated region. they are starting to build a factory here. the lugansk plant has never changed its weapons specifications. during the patriotic war of 1812, it was one of the largest manufacturers of artillery pieces and ammunition in the empire. lermontov's famous lines about the battle of pribordino, volleys of thousands of guns merged into the drawn-out howl is just about the lugansk guns. about a quarter of all artillery participating in the battles. after all, the design of the gun was different, and the shuvalov unicorn is primarily an infantry weapon, its main task there was buckshot, but here it is standard for cannonballs that would... the 1891 model rieme rifle, well, naturally, to the new rifle required new live ammunition. and in russia at that time there were only two cartridge factories, one was a state-owned one, a

and catherine christian is still with us r.efore we get into the what is the delay question, i read back some of the testimony the jury is likely to hear. this is regarding david pecker's meeting at trump tower, and there was something in it that stood out to you, catherine. >> which i forgot and maybe some jurors forgot. at that meeting, donald trump suggested david pecker help for his campaign. those words came out of donald trump's mouth, if we believe david pecker, so as josh stein glass said yesterday over and over and over, this was all about the campaign to promote his election by unlawful means. >> at that meeting, donald trump and michael cohen asked me what i can do and what my magazines could do to help the campaign. duncan, in looking, also welcome, in looking at the four questions that the jury that has, does anything stand out to you? is there any through line? >> the through line is that these are all things that involve donald trump, so there's a lot of testimony in this trial about michael cohen doing things, a

patrick is the future 1st lady of ukraine, catherine clair, too much income. of course, you can say that the catherine clara, however, because your background is that she worked very closely with the united states government on behalf of his operations against the ukraine, the soviet union, and the success of the russian federation. calculating to too much income, grew up in a family of ukrainian collaborators who were forced to flee to the us after world war 2. what catherine made a brilliant political career commission, a little bit less than some support. i just wanna see for the the 8 because i need to speak to someone so you can pay for somebody to schedule it for the dealer by me to come to a very, for the disposal. it takes to get some other reason. so you can see whether the marriage evict to use in car been calculated too much. jenco was out of love will convenience is no longer important. but when they came to power in 2004 active notification of ukraine began to clear up pretty much jumped up from chest. all of the things to move just think, i mean

catherine here with me. she's testified this was a massive crisis.know from having covered it -- this was a political crisis going into a debate. this is very important testimony. >> yes. she says it was devastating and a crisis at that moment when it came out. the prosecution will say, this explains the need, the urgency to give $130,000 to miss daniels, to make sure that the story didn't come out, that it would be concealed from the electorate, which would influence the election. that's the prosecution's theory. she's neutral. she's paying for her own attorney. she's there by subpoena. she's just answering the questions as an insider and as a press person. who would know better than what's a devastating crisis to a campaign? >> she was then asked -- we just read to you that in this shared document it was going to be a massive story. it would dominate the news cycle. the news cycle coming up was that debate. they were debating a woman candidate from the democratic side. the prosecutor saying, were you worried about female voters? hicks replied, not
