chris conroy. we are not seeking an in car a try penalty. e defendant seems to be angling for that. conroy added the court should when the defendant's conduct will not be tolerated and remind him that incarceration is an option, should it be necessary. this was the response from trump's lawyer, todd blanche. there was absolutely no willful violation of the gag order. does comments were in direct response to comments by these witnesses, not about the criminal proceedings, your honor. when judge merchan pressed mr. blanche on what attacks mr. trump was responding to blanche struggled to answer. which led the judge to say i have asked you eight or nine times to show me the exact posts that trump was responding to, and you have been able to do that even once. blanche's response, president trump is being very careful to comply with your honor's rules. >> you, mr. blanche, you are losing all credibility. i have to tell you that right now. joining me now, former u.s. attorney with the manhattan das office, duncan, and northern district of alabama di

chris conroy said he does not see jail time for the contempt.mp is prohibited from making statements on the case. conroy accused trump of violating that gag order on 10 separate occasions. there have not been discussions on what to do if trump is convicted to prison. trump lashed out saying he is highly conflicted and taken away his right to free speech. trump called it a kangaroo court. the former president spoke yesterday in new york. >> this is all biden, in case anyone has a question. they are keeping me in a courtroom, very unfair situation. this guy is out there campaigning. >> lucas: former trump attorney general bill barr said he thinks this is political and real danger is from the far left. tomorrow supreme court is expected to weigh in on donald trump's immunity claim. lawrence. >> lawrence: let's talk to people about this. this is first case of all the prosecution. how you doing? what is your name? >> kyle. >> lawrence: what do you think, is it fair, would they be doing this to a democrat? >> of course not, it is absurd they are comin

this is prosecute chris conroy. we're not yet seeking an incarcatory but the defendant seems to be aiming for that and warn the defendant that this conduct will not be tolerated and incarceration is an option should it be nes ser. this is response from trump's lawyer, tom blanche. those comments were in direct response to comments made by these witnesses, not about these criminal proceedings, your honor. when judge merchan pressed mr. blanche on what specific attacks trump was responding to, blanche struggled to answer, which led the judge to say i've asked you eight or nine times to show me the exact posts that trump was responding to and you have been unable to do that even once. blanche's response, president trump trump has been very careful foocomply with your honor's rules. judge merchan, you mr. blanche, are losing all credibility, i have to tell you that right now. joining me the manhattan d.a. joyce, what are the implications of losing the confidence of the judge in like 48 hours? >> so, yeah, i mean it's ne

prosecutor chris conroy said that they are looking for now to just fine trump $1,000 per post, but sayss like trump is trying to get locked up for political purposes. but trump's attorney, todd blanch, says that trump is merely responding to a, quote, barrage of political attacks. judge juan merchan says he will make his ruling on this at a later date. to me, it's totally unconstitutional. after a short break, the jury was brought back in for their second day and heard testimony from david pecker, the former publisher of the national enquirer, and a few other magazines. pecker testified that he considered trump a friend and met with trump and michael cohen, trump's former attorney. in august of 2015, pecker says he agreed to be the eyes and ears of the trump campaign. quote, i said what i would do is i would run or publish positive stories about mr. trump, and i would publish negative stories about his opponents. pecker then detailed how he bought a story from dino sajudin, a former doorman at trump tower who alleged that he knew of an illegitimate child fathered by trump. pecker made s

prosecutor chris conroy told the judge about a social media post we reported as breaking news on this program last week. donald trump rewrote what jesse waters said and added to that so it was not actually a quotation of someone else. the district attorney conroy told the judge this is a very troubling post at 5:46 p.m. the defendant published a post on his truth social account that stated they are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge in order to get on the trump jury. that whole thing is in quotation marks. it's attributed to somebody named jesse waters. what mr. waters said was they are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge, period. so it is a hybrid of something somebody else said together with something the defendant added on his own. i think the link to the jurors in this case. i think it is clearly a violation of your order. judge merchan. it was posted on april 17th at 5:46 p.m. and it says in quotes, they were catching undercover liberal act lists lying to the judge to get on the trump jury. closed quote. and it is attributed to jesse wat

i think the prosecutor today, chris conroy, said multiple times, it's getting ridiculous.on't quite understand why judge merchan has not at a minimum admonished him, there's a gag order. to put off the hearing i don't understand why it is. that gives donald trump the whole weekend to say i guess i can keep doing this because the judge didn't say anything. >> you're saying the lack of a hearing that draws the line, the defendant sees that as a chance to misbehave more? >> or even an admonishment. we're going to have a hearing next week, mr. trump, i'm telling you, we have a gag order, don't violate it. that hasn't even happened. >> then i take it to al sharpton. you know your way around new york, the particular media environment and how donald trump has navigated this. he's not being completely reckless or what his supporters would call brave, by which i mean he's not just sounding off. he keeps testing, right? he used the fox thing be to try to say, i'm just sharing what's out there. what do you think of his tactics? how do you think this will play out in new york, an aren

that's what chris conroy found unacceptable.ther or not it's directed at an individual juror or the jury process as a whole, that's pernicious. antithetical to the justice process. carrying on as it should. and that the judge should be particularly offended by and protective of the integrity of the proceedings in his courtroom, which is why it's necessary to find trump now and hold him in criminal contempt even though at this stage, they're not seeking any penalty in terms of jail time. >> isn't it partially though because there's one juror that asked to be excused? they felt their personal information was identifiable, that they were identified by people they know and there's a worry that some of the jurors could feel like if i'm identifiable and donald trump's going after us, it's a problem. >> yeah, i think that's absolutely true. look, judge merchan has cracked down on the press in terms of what we are permitted to report. i think he realized after the first couple of days of jury selection that in allowing perspective juror

that's what chris conroy said. blanche says president trump does in fact know what the gag order allows him to do and not allow him to do and there was absolutely no willful violation of the gag order. back with us, vaughn hillyard, catherine christian and chuck rosenberg. so, catherine, how often, if at all, and, again, we're just reading it, we weren't in the courtroom, have you seen this kind of exchange, the judge, practically jumped off the page, he was frustrated. >> i've seen it. it doesn't happen a lot, but there are lawyers, usually on the defense side, who, you know, zealous advocates, they have to push the envelope. now, what you don't want as a lawyer, no matter which side you're on, is to have a judge say you're not credible. because then from -- to the end of trial, they're not going to take your word for things. and your opposing counsel, i had lawyers like that, i can't believe that person. so you never want to, no matter who your client is, lose your credibility as a lawyer. >> does it sound to you

team, what are you doing on saturday and sunday well, i think that josh steinglass, he kicked chris conroy these guys have done there homework and they'll do it twice on this saturday and another time on sunday. >> they know what they're doing. they know this inside out. they know it frontwards and backwards. and they're either going to simplify this in terms of their they're opening. this is not going to be a salacious, sexy, hush money case. this is a falsifying business records case. we're going to break it down to its essential elements. we're not going to make it something that it's not, we're nogoing to allow and we're going to print donald trump and his team for taking this on, on a sideways that it shouldn't go. i'm overwhelmingly confident that josh and chris and those guys who are overlapped with are ready to go. they've been ready yesterday the week before and they're not gonna get distracted no matter what happens outside that courtroom, they are staying the course. these are morgan thought guys who've gone for morgan thaw the dance now to brag, they've been around the block. c

again, to follow the law, to follow what i am saying as the product executed, josh steinglass chris conroy, that's not make this about sexy scandalous behavior involving in a fair and former porn star. this take it out. this is just falsifying business records you're talking about, but those salacious details are going to come and you've got stormy daniels, got michael cohen, you've got david packard, and you've got karen mcdougal all on the witness less. >> i do want to ask you because this has been something that's been in the back of my head. i'm looking at what happened with michael cohen who was convicted of violating campaign finance laws and here he will be on the stand. he is one of the main witnesses in this case. does that work well for the prosecutors? say, hey, look, he was convicted of this. he went to jail for this this is in trying to help donald trump do what we're saying. he tried to do in this case. >> whatever hand you have is what you have and what they need to do. as i said before, is take the windom, the sales of that he's a bad guy in a liar, but what's really import
