secondly, i would like to recognize daniel and david titonal. just to place it on record, the term dingas refers as twins. these two heros have served the people of guam in the capacity of a firefighter and customs officer. daniel is a long-term firefighter in guam and one who has placed himself in harm's way to protect his community from battling wildfires to reassuring individuals of unsafe conditions to delivering kids in ambulances as an e.m.t. he's a hero in guam. he ensures his brothers and sisters in the fire stations are well-fed as he is a well-known renowned cook. daniel is also a decent man, a proud son, a good sibling, and certainly a favorite uncle to numerous nieces and nevada use. -- nephews. he's also a fan of the pittsburgh steelers. his brother, david, has been protecting guam's community and our borders as a lieutenant in the guam customs and quarantine agency for many years. . . his efforts has resulted in the interception of drugs and other contra bands into the island and worked diligently for the seizure of counterfeit good

khersonshchyna and where do i give you such gupps something went wrong with the plan and now this daniel david-offensive is being carried out this time yes but not depending on that it will be a failure but it will either be successful for ukraine and that's all one thing, ukraine will lose because immediately after this counteroffensive , ukraine will not be able to maintain its defense positions in the liberated territories, and who is the army in the world , how will it go there ? this intimidation, that is, will be successful. the counteroffensive will not be successful, anyway, russia will do something to attack again and take back these territories, and for some reason no one assesses russia's resource fully equipped with equipment but with ammunition, it removes old soviet equipment from conservation, so many people say that it drives and shoots yes, it drives and shoots, it’s true but again, it’s not the same 14 armata, it’s not the same 90 , it’s old soviet tanks and other old objects weapons that are no longer an element of modern warfare. so, this is a demonstration of whether russi

with me, josh johnson, danielle moodie, david late, and dana white ella. david, i come to you first. give me your big takeaways, these two big speeches, contrast, styles both funny but substantive in their message. >> well, i thought the jokes were well within, i thought both the president and roy wood jr. did a good job. to me, though, the biggest thing that stuck out was that in a strange way that was kind of biden's reelection kickoff speech. and in particular, he went straight at the subject of his own age in a way that i don't think i've heard him talk about before. also, roy wood jr. kind of created an interesting structure when he said the president wakes up from a nap, he gets stuff done. a less funny version of that is pretty much gonna be the biden reelection slogan, right? he is older, but he gets things done. so, i actually thought that both biden's, his ability to joke about his own age, to laugh at jokes about his own age, and i think the way that he framed it, even though it was a funny context, i think the white house was very strategic abo

you are going to have stormy daniels and david pecker from the "national enquirer" and spent more timeking about ufos and alien abductions than anything else. on the other hand you are going to have a prosecution that's going to have to make a tough case. class e felonies and converting them or trying to link them with tax evasion charges and federal campaign finance law. that's all going to be very difficult and then you have witnesses that may be problematic like michael cohen. who also appear at trial. all of that means that the burden as it should be, is going to be on the prosecution. but there's no long way to run here. and so the politics of this are going to change each day, each week. in the near term to trump's advantage. in the longer term hurting the republican brand. for general election swing voters in november 2024. what we call purple people. >> aside from the arraignment. any other investigations involving trump similar to ones that we've seen with past presidencies? >> well, i mean, look, past presidencies certainly i mean -- donald trump has been comparing himself in

david: lydia, thank you very much. power the future founder, ceo, daniel turner is here now.able to power the future if we disassemble all of our fossil fuel, all of our fossil fuel plants, are we? we simply cannot get the same amount of energy from alternative sources. >> no, we can't. wind and solar don't nearly generate the electricity that people like john kerry pretend that it does. for proof we have to look at germany. they have been doing it for 20 years, longer than we have. their prices absolutely escalated almosthundred% in the the -- 800% in the last 20 years. they had to implement price caps to stablize their prices. what happened to the german people, the german economy? why do we want to inflict so much pain on the american people because of the green agenda. shows you how the green movement never cessated. first coal, now natural gas. they are never satiated but the american people suffer itself. david: not only american people but the environment suffers. country have to turn to coal, immediate thing they have to get energy caught between a rock and a hard pla

daniel tabbush -- david chao, from invesco asset management. up in these economies that are very oil dependent. >> i think it is throwing a wrench in the central banks in asia. we saw a pause by some central asian bankers. whether this is just a momentary pause or not, i think it is yet to be seen. i am still in the camp that the tightening of supply is more of a near term shorter-term phenomenon and won't really cause any significant changes to the fundamental growth story in e.m. asia. shery: we have really talked about the chinese reopening from covid zero and how the revenge spending will help the em space. at the same time, we are seeing china is warning top bankers of deepening crackdowns and it comes to corruption at a time we thought perhaps the crackdowns were done with. how much more room do we have for upside in chinese markets? >> i think there is still meaningful room for upside in chinese markets. the consumption related rebound is just getting started. it might take a little while, more of a u-shaped recovery. initial demand has

political dynamics here and the military dynamics here, all converging at once, ambassador daniel shapiro and david sanger, as always, thank you both very much. and now over to russia, where wall street journal reporter evan gersh covic has been formally charged with espionage by russian prosecutors . that's according to russian state media. the report went on to say that herskovits denied the accusations against him. russian security service said last week that it had detained the wall street journal reporter on accusations of spying. the white house has demanded his release from custody, as have dow in the senate, both republican and democratic law leaders there. cnn's matthew chance is in moscow. for us. matthew is still being held without consular access without access to american officials in russia. yeah that's that's our understanding, abby. yes we've been in constant contact with the u. s embassy here in moscow to try and get some detail on what access they're getting. and so far, they're saying they haven't got any, obviously, that they're consistently trying to get access. russia has said

election with the voters to tr and win some of those moderate voters in fact, he told msnbc news, david -- daniel the intercept has reportin that one of the major funder behind the group that helped organize the january 6th rally is pouring millions of dollars into this race how concerned are you on the influence the election deniers like these kinds o organizations, have on thi race >> dan kelly is the chosen candidate of election deniers, that's how we got out of the primary in the first place extending by republica billionaires who are already going to great lengths t overturn the election. he said he's not looking for donald trump supporters, but the fact is that he did work t try and decertify the election results in the state o wisconsin. he already did, that and i can tell you, whether he say publicly that he wants the endorsement or not, the realit is that donald trump wants him on the supreme court >> what's your message t voters going into tuesday, mr. barnes >> my message to everybody out there on tuesday is that the future of the state of wisconsin depends on the democracy, depends on

jpmorgan asset management global market strategist david remember slip and daniel newman, which is the largest independent research firm for tech analysis. let me start with you, daniel. what do you make of the move here? i mean, it really actually started with meta's banger earnings earlier this week, and it almost seems like the tech trade is back, but does the that continue through? >> yeah, we've seen tech move up really quickly, and tech is the underpinnings of everything that's going to take us out of these current economic challenges that we have. you look 59 the move towards a. i'm sorry, genrive a.i., these are going to be the deflationary capabilities that that companies are going to be able to reduce staff. dropbox pointed today to a.i. as the inflection of how they're going to be able to move forward. i talked to bill mcdermott this week of after service now which had really strong earn, and he was looking over the next 10 years that almost 20% of the fortune 1,000 companies think their business model are not survive. it's going to need technology to ache them forward. long

there was stormy daniels, ther was michael cohen, there was david pecker from the publishe of the nationalhis becaus they say that nothing happened with trump's money, bu weisselberg involved and o course, there is donald trump. one of the things donald trump has tried to do, not wit weisselberg and not with pecker, but with stormy daniels an michael cohen, is to undermine them, to target witnesses, t make their credibility, to mak them seem less credible in the eyes of the public i don't know if that's going t work with a jury >> well, i think we need t distinguish between the cour of public opinion and the cour of law trump plays -- in the court of public opinion and he's not going to be abl to do that in a court of law and we saw that last week when he had the opportunity t present a witness to the grand jury he presented his former lawyer robert costello, who tried t undermine michael cohen. i think the version that was presented was that storm daniels approached michael cohen and i think, you know, sort of engaged in some kind o shakedown that trump had nothing to do with this. michae

david willis, bbc news, washington. danielr with politico newspaper based in washington. he has more on why such a major intelligence leak has been allowed to happen again. we are not doing as much of the insider threat analysis and psychological evaluations to make sure that you don't have people who are prone to leaking this information. in an online world, we're all kind of addicted to our phones and to likes on instagram. and for someone who's 21 and isolated, especially in the last few years during the pandemic, you can... this guy got sucked in. and i think there's a lot of questions about why someone who is a 21—year—old massachusetts air national guardsman had access to stuff going on in ukraine that he had no business knowing and probably should not have been in a position to get all that information about our allies in south korea, for example. by arresting this guy, they're trying to prevent future leaks because he had more of this information in these documents on hand that he was dribbling out to the press. and so

david henderson, forme prosecutor and civil right attorney he is also cnbc critter bitter -- past politics podcast and th special correspondent fo vanity fair, dina bila, -- sirius xm and the msnbc dail columnist, and danielle moodie host of the podcast wove f -- and the new abnormal thank you for joining me tonight. david, i want to join star with you no one outside the da's office knows what exact charges or th totality of the evidence bragg has. based on what has been mad public, how worried are you as a lawyer about the facts of th case michael cohen isn't exactly an ideal witness and then there's the likelihood that brag felony cases is dependent on a rather untested legal theory >> here's the thing. we talk about the facts of the case, mattie, if you are his lawyer what you will say i look, they are trying to tak me down and they are desperate to do it the only - is a convicted felon but if you are the prosecuto you far back with what you pointed out in your opening, look, everyone he surround himself with is a convicte felon. that is not my fault -- the company itself got prosecuted there is no one i can bring to you to talk about what happene -- so in that regard, it is difficult. 99% of all cases e

lindsey >> let's take a step back your mind of when the players here stormy daniels, michael cohen, karen mcdougal, david man who can you see testifying i this does go to trial. >> well certainly michae cohen. just speaking up on what - the potential tax violations here you know, that has been thrown out there. bragg baited very brie reference to it. if the tax violation is that there was a conspiracy to le cohen defraud taxpayers by not being income on us, and i thin michael cohen would have t plead guilty to that, if that' the crime that alvin bragg's wants to use year. i'm not going to say that they want - that michael cohen's already pled guilty to multiple climbs including perjury, lying t congress i'm not sure that anyone's going to want to add on th prosecution, side add anothe tax crime to michael cohen, in order for him to testify tha that was the purpose of thes payments i'm not sure that the tax issu is going to fly in this case for that very reason as for all these other players look, the big irony here is we spent the last, you, know more than two years talking about whether donald trump was

between michael cohen, donal trump, stormy daniels, her agent, the national enquirer publisher davidr, th national enquirer editor dylan howard these are the types of evidenc that he could even be detailed in this indictment that led to these charges. we should know a lot more here just about 72 hours from now alex >> absolutely extraordinar interview there for stormy daniels there in the times u radio. thank you so much for all of that chauvin and that's cohen right now karen friedman, former man chief assistant district attorney, welcome, it's good t see you back on the broadcast. quick question, given th stormy daniels soundbite w just heard, did you ever hav interaction with her >> i did not, i never matter i'd never spoken to her. >> what do you think about wha she said the fact that she thought sh was going to be called two weeks ago on a time, it did no happen, do you suspect that sh would be called in this case t testify if this thing goes t trial? >> it's important to remembe that we have not seen th indictment yet, so we don' exactly know what the charge are, or what eviden

genera public, certainly a lot of u in the media, we are familia with stormy daniels and he story of what happened but, david that a lot of people may not b familiar with. how do you see his involvement his potential testimon impacting this case? >> isn't it just interesting that we thought of so much o this we've been talking michae cohen, michael cohen, michae cohen, and how does he fit int this david pecker is an incredibl character in this, and i think he is going to be, i don't wan to say the star, but he is going to be a star of this shouldn't go to trial. the reason is that he is the former editor of the enquire and he was involved in these catch and kill payments. he was involved in the storm daniels ones that didn't actually go to a catch and kil and there was a private paymen that was facilitated from trum to her, but he was als involved in the karen mcdougal case where there was a catch and kill a catch and kill, most peopl know it, but it's where yo take a story and instead o publishing it you pay for it you kill it. he's been in the center of all these, and there's a third cas that's lesser know

danielle robay: just for scale, how big is this aircraft carrier? david: this aircraft carrier weighs 70,000 tons. and it's as long as three football fields. so if you stood this aircraft carrier up on its back, itit would actctually be t tar than the h highest skykyscrapr herere in san didiego. incrediblele. daniellele robay (vovoiceover: but ifif you're lolooking for another slice of nautical history, a truly unique experience is a paddle on thehe water too the lelegendary sesea caves s in the towown of la jo. once hideouts for pirates and smugglers in the 19th century, today yoyou'll find d much cacalmer occupupants-- sea lionons and pelilicans. the e only way t to get there is by kayak. and luke leidiger is leading the way. itit does not t get much more sanan diego thahan this. ababsolutely.. the e sun just c came out. the wawater is beaeautiful. it's a pererfect day. dadanielle robobay: i seee all the kayaksks around. you're takaking me through the caves. luke: yeah. we're going to actually be going into the cave system. it's known as, like, the seve

david willis, bbc news, washington. let's speak to daniel lippman, a reporter with politico.ngton. daniel, there have been leaks before, haven't they? does this suggest it is easy to do all that the us is failing to learn how to identify how to prevent it? , how to identify how to prevent it? y a, ., ., how to identify how to prevent it? , ., ., ., ., , . it? they are not doing as much ofthe it? they are not doing as much of the insider _ it? they are not doing as much of the insider threat _ it? they are not doing as much of the insider threat analysis i of the insider threat analysis and psychological evaluations to make sure that you don't have people who are prone to leaking this information in an online world where we are all kind of addicted to our phones and two likes on instagram and for someone who is 21 and isolated, especially in the last few years over the pandemic, this guy got sucked in and there i found wonderful there are a lot of questions about someone who is a 21—year—old massachusetts air national guardsman had access to stuff going on in ukraine that he h

daniels if she was indeed paid. >> laura: another thing david is the concern raised by some who actuallyupport president trump that he's saying too much. like, i was a white collar criminal defense attorney in my day. you didn't want your client to speak to the press generally. not a good idea. okay? well he's obviously speaking out a lot, including trashing the judge in the case. which, if i were his lawyer i would say that's not a good idea. are you concerned about that? >> you know, listen. >> donald trump is donald trump. he speaks his mind. he has every right to. i don't like when he or mr. tacapina discuss a substantive theory of defense because first we haven't seen the indictment and there may be some business related things in it but i don't like the lock in in position. as for the judge you raise an interesting point, if it is indeed judge merchant that's another pretrial motion no recuse. he was the judge in the trump organization case in the bannon case and now in the trump case. there's an historic practice in this da's office, this da's office alone of hand picking a judge,

and his friend, former national enquirer publisher david pecker to pay out hush money to at least three people including adult actress stormy danielss, whose real name is stephanie clifford, alleged in a 60 minutes interview that she had had an affair with trip in 2006, just months after his wife melania had given birth to their son baron and an affair he denies. >> did he mention his wife or child at all in this? >> i asked and he brushed it aside and said, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry about that. we have separate rooms and stuff. >> juju: it was a payment trip initially said she knew nothing about. >> did you know about the payment to stormy daniels. >> no. >> juju: but, wendy later testified that -- but colin later testified that he made the payment at trump's direction to silence her before the election. >> this is not revenge. this is about accountability. he needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds. >> juju: enjoy it 2018, trump's former power player were -- power player broke his silence to abc news months after the fbi raided his home and office is using a trove of documents. including that payment to stormy da

one from michael cohen and david pecker to pay hush money to stormy daniels which is now the subjectump's indictment and people forget this, but was there and i am telling you this is how it went down the thing that really hurt hillary clinton that electio was the fact that she was th object of attention, certainly down the stretch it was the clinton campaig everyone was obsessively focused on her emails, the comey letter the laptop in the ensuing years since 2016, since that rupture in the spac time continuum, it is become clear, when the general voting public, medium, persuadable, normally voters pay attentio to donald trump. they don't like him. they don't like what they see. this has been demonstrated ove and over again in election after election it was true in 2018 when the election became a midter referendum on his presidency and republicans lost 40 seat in the house it was true in 2021 trum became the first incumbent president to lose reelection since george h. w. bush in 1992, losing the popular vote by 7 million and underperformin other republicans up and dow the ballot to h

daniels if she was indeed paid. >> well, another thing, david , is the concern raised by some who actually support president trump that he's saying too much like i was a white collar criminal defensei attorney in my day.en you didn't want to t your clients to speak to the press. generally, it's not a goodobviou idea. okaysly , well, he's obviouslydg speaking out a lot, including trashing the judge in the case,i which if i werf e his lawyer, i would say that's not a goodt idea. are you concerned aboutht that?. >> you know, listen, donald trump is donald trump.. he speak hes his mind. >> he has every right to . i don't like when he or mr. tacopina discuss a substantive theory of defense, particularlys because i think, first of all,n we haven't seen the indictmentts and i think there may be someini business related things in it, but i just don't i don't like tn in a position.. as for the judge, you raise an a interesting point. if in t is indeed judgeindeed jd murcheson, then i think that's another pretrial motion. got to be a motion to recuse. very interesting.n the trum judge murcheson, was

michael cohen, and former national inquirer publisher david pecker to pay hush money to at least three people. alluding porn actress stormy daniels. everybody said, this is not really an indictment. there's nothing here. my lawyers came to me and they said there's nothing here. they're not even misdemeano in w , but ch can upgdedo felonyf 'so ot , s tax or campaign violations.e prosecutor would try and prosecute something that thin as this and prosecute a violation of federal election laws. when they're state prosecutors. i don't think we're gonna get to direct in this case is going to fall on the law before we get there, the district attorney saying he's bringing the case now because of new evidence, but he did not elaborate. legal experts called that a strategic move, not putting out all that factual narrative. it protects the prosecution from revealing too much is harder to attack the narrative when it's not in the indictment. the court proceedings, a historic first for sitting or former american president concluded in just under one hour reporter in the courtroom, says trump's legal team did most of the talking. he was not do

daniels, does that furtherjeopardise his case? i am not a lawyer so i can't weigh in on that but wonder what david means specifically about the thingsnd speak, it would be interesting for us to watch out and say, is there anything he has said that is specifically going to jeopardise his case? david, do ou want jeopardise his case? david, do you want to — jeopardise his case? david, do you want to pick _ jeopardise his case? david, do you want to pick that - jeopardise his case? david, do you want to pick that up - you want to pick that up directly? what exactly would put him in peril?— directly? what exactly would put him in peril? katty makes a aood put him in peril? katty makes a good point _ put him in peril? katty makes a good point because _ put him in peril? katty makes a good point because if— put him in peril? katty makes a good point because if he - put him in peril? katty makes a good point because if he just i good point because if he just those — good point because if he just those with a very broad brush and comes up with denials that won't _ and comes up with denials that won't hurt _ and comes up with denials that won

be a conspiracy count, a conspiracy count that goes beyond storm daniels, perhaps there is th catch and kill conspirac launched with david pecker with - times on the program this week there could be a conspirac charge we will see about that it cuts both ways because conspiracy with falsifying business records is only a misdemeanor. you say to yourself, why would there be a misdemeanor well, it gives the prosecutors an opportunity to tell a story in the indictments it also gives the prosecutor an opportunity to strengthen the case to prove donald trump's intent, which is obviously critical so, if you simply charge falsifying records related t stormy daniels, you've reall only got, sort of, one discree narrative. if the narrative goes beyond payments to cover up storm daniels, and goes to coverin up other people, to catch an kill, then the story, th narrative, the allegations are broader, and it's a stronger case that way, lawrence. >> andrew weissmann, when we saw the first letter from ji jordan and republicans to alvi bragg, my wisegu recommendation on this show wa to just tear it up over ther at the district attorney's

first, david, i will discuss the book and then we'll have plenty of time for audience questions and our online viewers may submit their questions to daniel dot bring at air dot org or on twitter with the hashtag hashtag superpower in peril. david, thank you for being with us. we really appreciate your being here. and i wanted to start out. there's a lot in the book about your point. you a west point cadet and you graduated west point and you served in the army. and there's a lot in about the army. and i wanted you to give us a sense of of why you wanted to talk to that so much. and also the state of the united states army today. first of all, robert, thanks so much for having me. it's an honor to be here. and thank you all for for coming. get the was inspired by a belief that the country was headed in the wrong direction long before i decided to run for the senate. and and to your question, meaning our super power really is in peril. and and certainly my in the military in my time at west point shaped that because i grew up in rural pennsylvania in a town called bloomsburg. played sports. i wasn't the best student, but sports got me into

daniels' name. >> martha: that's significant. one of the things we were looking to intensify this presentation of this indictment was that we heard david pecker involved in two hearings. he came back at the end and thought maybe that karen mcdougal's part of this story would put more substance behind, this sounds like that's not the case. so the judge says he wants to move fairly quickly. the next hearing isn't until december 4? did i hear that right? >> yeah, no, you heard that right. he wants to move quickly. the next hearing isn't until december 4. >> there will be motions. september -- in august, there are the motions that the defense can file. and then the prosecution has to respond by september 19. and then the next hearing would be december 4. it is quit a ways off. yes. >> did the defense show their cards on the types of motions they're going to file? was a change of venue, a motion to dismiss the case? >> change of venue was not mentioned. when the prosecution laid out or they talked about the background of the charges and launched into an attack ant mr. trump's -- what president trump, what he's been saying over social media,

david fugat who has since retired. apparently after this guy army sergeant daniel perry was indicted for murder.er said the d.a.'s office forced him to remove exculpatory evidence from his presentation to the grand jury. so they indicted him. but at trial, apparently all because he thought it was self-defense. >> he also accused the district attorney's office of engaging in witness tampering with him because of this act that you just laid out. ultimately, if you look at the facts of this case. what it comes down to progressive d.a.s don't want you to engage in self-defense. supposed to just allow yourself to die? you look at this guy sergeant perry at fort hood trying to make extra money as uber driver. goes downtown to make extra money. what inevitably happens find yourself surrounded by mob of black lives matter riots. they are lighting things on fire not friendly people, pounding on his car. a guy points an ak-47 at him. so if you are a sergeant perry, what do you think is going to hand? do you not feel that your life is in danger? and you have less than a second to make a decision. is it you

daniels. now we've also learned in recent days that not only did david pecker the head of am i testified twice before this grand jury, but jurors heard detailed evidence about the karen macdougal situation about that transaction. that's really significant anderson because it means they're not just looking at one relatively small hush payment, they're bringing in evidence of a pattern of payments and even if they don't wind up charging directly on the macdougal transaction. i don't know yet whether they will this goes to the intent of that pattern. it goes to the fact that it's a pattern, all of which is going to be necessary to bolster their case. pecker also in in, uh, when he was being faced with georges in his agreement with the feds, he said that he met with people from the trump campaign. and that's obviously significant because the question is, was this in order to help the presidential campaign in the president's former president? supporters are saying, well, you know, he didn't want to embarrass his wife. so bringing in this evidence about mcdougall allows them to bring in that part of

daniel payment. but the overall scheme is very much as much about america media and david pecker as it i about mr.en. and that ends up being a interesting dynamic given th different types of immunit that were offered in different stages for different types o testimony, including fro weisselberg and from pecker. >> there's an argument to be made that the district attorne bag has a better prosecution o the facts then the feds do because he alone has the businessecorrime that is a fel crime. thatnot thinat the would ble to bring in th herntrict. if michael cohas al an open, tol disclosure eratn thuthern distri still decided not o forwd, i don't get , but do untand why we are wher are now with bragg >> can we so makthe that ts offi, this da' , prosute this - the ti goose ne abouthihi wch t crime that is unco and it is nouncoon from this ainst trump --ecvict c's up the trum oratwas out business res anx records, e ra, his omething you want to taboutnyone. what happened -- thisld hn to anyone -- white collar cris.brr of >>ould say though, we keep coming, you end up cing of what the law isoc what ie la wh

daniel payment. but the overall scheme is very much as much about america media and david pecker as it i about mr. cohen. and that ends up being a interesting dynamic given th different types of immunit that were offered in different stages for different types o testimony, including fro weisselberg and from pecker. >> there's an argument to be made that the district attorne bag has a better prosecution o the facts then the feds do because he alone has the business records crime that is not a federal crime. that is not something that the would be able to bring in th southern district. so, it is tricky if michael cohen was a full an open, total disclosure cooperator in the southern district - still decided not to go forward, i don't get to, but i do understand why we are where we are now with bragg >> can we also make the note that this office, this da' office, prosecute this - all the time there's one sense in which the goose news about this is thi is a mundane business record crime that is not uncommon and it is not uncommon from this prosecutor so, his most recent victor against trump -- llc's ma

of this schem were donald trump, michael cohen, david pecker, dylan howard at the national enquirer, and then the lawyer wh represented both stormy daniels, and karen mcdougal and terms of the actua negotiations of the hush money payments, whether paid by th enquirer to karen mcdougal, or that paid by michael - to stormy daniels, neither o the women who were directl involved in communications wit the trump side, all of tha happened through their lawyers to the extent that the distric attorney will need som additional cooperation, perhap further down the line. i think it was prudent for the to understand what storm daniels might say, particularl since the trump folks have continually wrapped on thi trumpy of extortion, extortion extortion by, stormy daniels but, i don't think she is necessary witness to the cas that we understand they're about to make. of course, that caveat, is t understand the indictment remains under seal none of us have seen the charges. it is become a common parlor game across, town across the country among lawyers, to tr to get those charges, and none of us really know right now. >> former manhattan da, cy vance, ha

daniels, michael cohen. allen y soleberg, who can do the ex president most the most amount of damage, robert, just as a lawyer always will do, i will say, david packer, i think that the, for a publisher of the national enquirer is the person that will be the most compelling and the most damaging witness because he was in charge of these catching kills games. he does not have any retained on him. the strong daniels hes or that are our weisel burger. linda, michael cohen, how the he has very clear and dynamic information mickely to the presence convict. explain that to our viewers around the world who may not understand what you just said with this a catch instead, catch and kill a thing that david packer, the, i guess the seo of the national enquirer was supposedly allegedly doing with mr. trump, why that's so significant, absolutely won't, will from the, from the indictment from the information we've gathered. the accusation is that present trumpet. mister packer went through a process of buying a, going to people who had damages stories against president trump and then paying them off in order to catch the stores before they could be sold to
