>> so don junior and eric today and tomorrow. donald trump, former president, current presidential candidate, on the stand on monday. how will that be similar or different to what we're seeing today? >> donald trump, the former president, has an interesting decision to make. is he going to actually testify or take the fifth? he has the option to take the fifth. don junior and eric had that option -- >> but you have taught us that's important and that has impact in a civil trial. >> absolutely. if you take the fifth in a civil trial it can be used against you. the judge can say so and so has taken the fifth i'm allowed to assume the worst of their testimony. donald trump, the former president, was deposed in this case. the only question he would answer was his name before, so when donald trump gets into court on monday he will have to take the stand. will he change course and say i'm going to answer questions will he do that or stick by the fifth amendment. >> do you think he'll be as disciplined a witness as don junior has been s

do you think that's the right approach for don junior to take?and i think he's being too cute, and i think he was coached in that way. this goes back to my point about having a judge, a more sophisticated view of witness. if i'm the prosecutor, what i'm going to do is elicit this fact and let it stand on its own, it's patently bogus and play the other clips to show how involved he was in the business. there's themes that emerge from the trumps. in some cases it's convenient to say, advice of counsel. in this case, it's my accountants, i relied on my accountants. he's all railroad to say he's the boss, running the business, but when it comes to the finances of the company, which is all the company has, "i don't know anything about it." >> yeah, it's -- again, they're just trying to have it both ways. similarly when you look at this set of books. we have all these assets, and they look great when you want to go to a bank and get a loan at a favorable interest rate. but when you go to the irs all of a sudden those assets don't look so high. they hav

you see don junior going in there. that's new today, and we have the update on what is a significant set of what is testimony that seems to hurt the trump org in that quarter million dollars fraud trial. >>> when there's news off the middle east war we'll bring you that. we have updates off gaza. earlier the skyline filled with explosions and flares, signs of what we can make sense of, what seems to be the widening escalation that was discussed, and we have news on what "the new york times" is reporting israel is doing at this hour. the military there according to "the new york times" says they have encircled gaza city and they're fighting, quote, face-to-face battles with hamas. the israeli prime minster says we're, quote, beyond the outskirts of gaza city. you have a pause in the direct fighting to allow for more humanitarian aid. secretary blinken raising that issue, we are told, when he'll arrive for another one of these diplomatic trips tomorrow. what we see in the sky and that reporting in part from the military.

does don junior care about real estate anymore? of the members want to run this company then at some point they should start thinking about what he's going to do with it. trump has stopped developing things. he doesn't build things and he's managing the properties that he has and he's turned to politics. the empire that made him famous is orphaned until they figure out what to do with it. >> even before this new york case came to a head and went to the courtroom it was clear that ivanka post-presidency, you could see moves she was making -- she seemeded to distance herself from the president, from his actions, from politics, really, but what do you see. she's also distancing herself and trying to from this civil fraud lawsuit for sure. why is that? what are you hearing specifically about ivanka trump if she's being successful in this effort? >> i just have not seen any interest from ivanka trump in operating the business or being involved in the business since really she went to washington. she is very committed to her family, her

that's where we're at right now with don junior, the first witness in the defense on the stand.or to this video actually playing, though, we did hear about don junior's role within the trump organization. he said when his father became president he and his brother took on a role as sort of the asset managers. he took on the dealmaking of the bigger picture dealmaking in the trump organization while his brother handled sort of the day to day. it's been lighthearted inside that courtroom, dana, with jokes being made not only by don junior but also the judge, the judge saying welcome back, and don junior said he would say he's happy to be back, but he was worried about being sued by the attorney general for being -- perjury. there's been lighthearted moments. we vice phaven't gotten into thy gritty about the financial statements that state says they manipulated to get better deals with banks and lenders. we're learning more about the trump organization with don junior, the first witness for the defense on the stand. dana? >> thank you so much for that reporting. on the campaign tra

he was pressed by the state about his role as executive vice president of the trump organization don junior saying he relied on outside accountants who prepared the financial statement. he's blasted the suit from the democratic attorney general and the judge, also a democrat, as a partisan kangaroo court. >> it doesn't matter what general practices in business would be it doesn't matter. they have a narrative. they have an end goal, and they'll do whatever it takes to get there. >> reporter: the judge has already ruled in the state's favor on the central fraud claim. much of the trial is to determine what, if any, punishment should be handed down meanwhile, the former president said he's done nothing wrong and again slamming the judge posting, quote, leave my children alone. >> so, laura, don junior will be back on the witness stand tomorrow meantime, you're tracking a pretty big headline in another legal case involving the former president. >> that's right, lester a federal judge in florida today signaled she might push the trial date in the case where he's been accused of hoarding those c

don junior today. that m carry over, i think, to tomorrow. eric trump tomorrow. p next wednesday. let's start with today. what did donald trump junior say? >> well, he is going to carry over into tomorrow. we're still on his direct. he started -- it's interesting. i think it's important to set the table for the three of them. i'm not sure if the timing of them is significant because of what i'm about to say. but donald junior hasn't been that much of a presence in the trial. you really do see the fingerprints more of eric trump and ivanka in various deals. very few people have brought up donald trump junior. it isn't to say he isn't involved. how it started out today was they went through, as they always do, biographical information. then they established him -- this is what becomes important -- as the trustee of the trust that was set up when donald trump went into office. he was one of the trustees. as a result of being one of the trustees, he had a lot of oversight including on banking relationships and on these statements of financial conditions that we have h

don junior and eric, for them to go out publicly and say, we don't stand behind the statement. sweden have much to do with the statements of, that we sent to these lenders. that undermines credibility. anytime there's gonna be dealing with prisoners partners or lenders in the future. they're gonna say okay, donald trump is focused on politics. the kids say they data know much about these details. and the younger people, the junior people in the organization blaine upper management. who can we trust in this? that is gonna be a challenge that faces them for years to come. >> thank you so much, for watching all this unfold, very significant. the children will now be testifying in this matter. thank you so much. >> well as you know, the friends spoke out, and now the fiancÉe. matthew perry's ex fiancÉe breaking her silence, on his death. that is next. >> we've got more reaction to the tragic death of matthew perry. his former fiancÉe, molly hurwitz posting on instagram saying that he had a profound impact on her, and also saying he causes pain like she had never known, making sure

that happened with don junior. it happened more strongly with eric. and i think we're likely to see a finding of low credibility that will be very hard to attack on appeal. that's one of the toughest things, because it's based on the judge's eye-witness observation. >> laura, when former president trump takes the stand, we expect he will take the stand sometime next week, can he plead the fifth for every question, or will he be required to answer some questions? >> well, here's the risk of pleading the fifth, and by the way, taking a step back, how extraordinary to think that you would hear from a former president of the united states, taking the stand in a civil fraud trial in his hometown of new york for a quarter of, i think, a billion dollars as a potential liability and fine. his adult children already testifying, and ivanka appealing this process to see whether she ultimately has to testify. it's very extraordinary to think about that, just taking a step back. but if he does testify, here's a risk in a civil trial as opposed to a criminal contex

and that included all children like don junior and eric. both of whom are named defendant. and also ivanka, who's going to testify next. what's the impact of them? given of course, that ivanka is not part of them that will testify. >> well eric, don junior, obviously are in the running for the trump organization now. so if the judge shuts down the trump organization in new york, of course that's where the majority of the organizations assets are. that's where the headquarters is. i would think that would be very devastating. but again, it won't be the end. because they have other assets outside of new york state. and i'm sure it will just reorientate themselves. and keep going and as stan was saying, make it, turn it into something beautiful and wonderful and fantastic and this was like the greatest thing that ever happened to us. >> i mean i'm all for it when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. but this one seems like a really, really sour one. i have to tell, you william cohen. thank you so much for joining us this evening. >> thank you, goodbye. >> as i mention some ne

. >> reporter: kate, don junior just left the stand, we expect him to lower these doors at any moment. after 4.5 hours of testimony, this was from direct line of questioning from his own defense lawyer, we should note, really this was the kickoff of the second half of this trial the prosecution rested their case following the testimony in questioning of ivanka trump last wednesday. donald trump jr. was the first witness brought by the defense. second time testifying in this case. for don junior over the course of these hours there was little focus on the actual financial fraud lawsuit at hand from the new york attorney general's case instead of an emphasis through the questions of his lawyers the value and the extensive of the properties owned and operated by the trumps globally. making the case property by property why they have valued their various assets at the levels. the accountants did the final financial records despite his signature. kate. >> okay, vaughn, thank you. angela, so, just building on what vaughn just said, if you're the defense why do you bring don junior back and

so don junior is back on the stand today in that civil fraud trial.ess after him. the two brothers back-to-back. nate foye in lower manhattan outside the courthouse. what's happening? >> bill, good morning to you. just moments ago donald trump junior and his brother eric arrived at the courthouse together. both of them expected to take the stand today. both co-defendants in the trial alongside their father former president donald trump. don junior will kick things off when court resumes in a few minutes with his direct examination. new york attorney general james is seeking a $250 million fine and severe business restrictions for overvaluing properties to receive financial benefits. the trumps deny any wrongdoing. during his direct examination so fardon junior testified is signed the companies' 2017 statement of financial condition but didn't prepare it himself relying on company accountants and spoke about assuming more responsibility at the company when his father became president. eric trump you mentioned will take the stand today when don junior i

what if accuse gotten from don junior and eric, charles? of what prosecutors got was to be expected. they were going over documents that eric and don already knew we're going to be asked about through discovery and through the fact that these were documents that had their centers on themselves. it is confirming number one that hey, you did sign these things. you were responsible for certain things that into that being filed and that were false. and so there has been a sort of interesting dance between the witnesses and the prosecutors. keep in mind it is very important to remember that this is not a trial about liability. it is a civil trial. but the judge has essentially already ruled in favor of the state on the notion of liability, finding -- in the a.g.'s office after summary judgment. this conversation that's going on right now is really about penalty. because the judge has the ability essentially to dissolve all of donald trump's legal dealings, business dealings rather in new york state. so that is what we are having the conversation

his testimony came after that of his sons don junior and eric, and before his daughter ivanka took the stand. joining me now, we have stephanie grisham, former trump white house communications director. my goodness, i don't think i viewed quite the. soon i do have harriet, levant that we do have stephanie just a little bit. harry, let's bring you into the camera focus, excellent have you here. okay. the question to you is, is there any reason to think donald trump would use the power of the presidency to go after his political rivals? we should have a soundbite i would like to play where he's talking about this. he's talking about this pretty candidly in an interview that he gave. it's a little scary to listen to. we're gonna played anyway. here it is, everybody, take a listen. >> they've done indictments in order to win an election they call it weaponization. and the people aren't gonna stand for. yeah they have done something that allows the next party if somebody if i have to be president. and i see somebody who's doing well and beating me very badly i say, go down and indict them.

and we do know that don junior and eric have always been seeking their father's approval. we know, i'm sure, there's depositions that we're doubling down on making sure that whatever their father said, they said as well. but things get a little different when you're on the stand and your being questioned under oath. in a deposition, you are still obliged to tell the truth. when you're on the stand, and someone is presenting real receipts in front of you, and we see the narratives changing, then you go outside of the courtroom to the court of public opinion, and you are trying to make your case in that way. and as catherine said, that's not going to cut it. >> one of the interesting things, susan, and i think not all of our viewers are necessarily in the weeds on the details of this case, but if you are just to listen to the defense of trump, you'd see that there is no nefarious intention. that this was a victimless crime. the prosecution put on the stand, an expert witness, a banking expert, who basically said that as a result of these allegations, the trump world saved ab

and on wednesday, trump's eldest son don junior was called to testify. seemed to be enjoying all the attention from the cameras while he sat at the defense table. [ camera shutters >> i should have worn makeup >> seth: needing makeup is such a tv insider joke. like, most people don't know what you're talking about. i get it, because i work in tv i have to wear makeup whenever i'm on camera. a fact that i took for granted until i filmed my show from home during covid and had to do my own makeup and looked like i was haunting my own house. [ laughter ] i looked healthier when i actually had covid [ laughter ] but then when it came time to actually answer questions, don junior seemed much less forthcoming, even claiming he had no involvement in preparing financial documents that he personally signed. >> donald trump jr. took the stand late this afternoon, and he denied having any involvement in the preparation of the financial statements in this case these are the same statements the judge has already found to be fraudulent. so trump was asked specifically

will eric and don junior's testimony lesson that financial blow?ey effective in defending their actions, and those of the trump organization? >> they were not. so in addition to looking at the penalties for what the judge has already found to be business fraud, there are additional claims of fraud in terms of falsifying financial statements, insurance fraud, and so, with respect to these remaining actions, really, the two things the judges looking for is, was there and intent to defraud from any of these defendants? and was the fraud, was it material? did the banks, did the lenders, did the insurance lie on these false statements? and so, the a.g. scored a number of points from both don junior and eric trump on both those points. don junior tried to blame accountants, i had nothing to do with putting together the statements, but there is a pivotal moment where donald trump jr. is shown an email from forbes. where they are alerting him to errors in the financial statements. in particular, airs about the actual size of donald trump's apartment, at tr

barbara, it's not clear whether don junior is going to take the stand.ful or damaging could this testimony be for the adult children and for the organization? can they just plead the fifth and do that repeatedly, hundreds of times? >> i think it's going to be interesting to watch this. as we are seeing now, trial schedule management is more art than science. often times, despite the best planning effort, some testimony goes longer or shorter because of the cross examination of the opposing counsel that you can't really control or gauge. eventually, we will see all three trump -- the oldest trump children take the stand, as well as donald trump himself. i think it will be interesting to watch with regard to your question about invoking the fifth. this is a civil case and they cannot be prosecuted criminally. their statements under oath in this case could be used against them in some subsequent criminal case. for that reason, they are entitled to take the fifth if they want to in answering any question. unlike a criminal case, the judge in the civil case m

so far don junior has testified about roles in the family business he and his brother took over after their father became president in 2017. then this interesting moment in court the judge overruling the new york attorney general's office after an objection to the showing of a trump properties promotional video. cnn's kara scannell is outside the courthouse and why did the a.g.'s office object to the defense's presentation and what did the judge say? >> reporter: yeah. so the attorney general's office was objecting to the trump lawyers wanting to introduce essentially pages from their website promoting all of the properties that they owned. they objected to that and the judge said that you had six weeks to butput on this case, trump's lawyers have criticized the judge for cutting their time short, and he said i will allow them. that's where the day has been focusing on properties that the trump's have and donald trump jr. testifying how they had taken the properties that were run down and transformed them, calling his father a visionary, artist, he was on the leading edge and all is p

don trump junior said he was an outside accountant that we relied heavily on me. donald trump jr. also claimed to have no understanding of generally accepted accounting principles. he said he remembered hearing in accounting class, and he said i know nothing about generally accepted accounting principles. priot to don trump junior's testimony, an expert witness testified the fraudulent information used by donald trump's business prevented banks from collecting $168 million in potential interest on loans. donald trump, who has a radically come and gone from the courtroom, did not bother to be there today to support his first born son on the witness stand. donald trump jr.'s mother couldn't be there because she died last year. but her words hung in the air in the courtroom is a sort of explanation for donald trump's absence today. he would give it to me because he had no idea what to do. eric trump probably has no expectation of a loving, paternal eye gazing at him across the courtroom when he takes the witness stand. but when donald trump's favorite child testifies, the one who don

to don junior, did eric, and the former president intent to defraud individuals with her it came down to loans or the like. and that is what this is about here. all of these folks are on the stand also because it is a civil case. if this was a criminal case, you could not force the defense to go to stanford here in a civil case where unless they plead the fifth there is now criminal exposure, you get them on the stand, and that is why they are all there now patience while in donald trump, i mean himself is going on monday. i don't think he was, he was in the stand for three minutes admitted here, but he has a bit on the witness stand in over a decade. i mean, what you think that is going, his son is claiming he is fired up, but do you think you will actually be fired up when he is under oath and on the witness stand? >> well, we have seen to donald trump's testifying on that staff. we have seen that on top of the rallies who is boisterous, who is offensive, was aggressive. and we have seen the donald trump in the disposition testimony, who was little but actually more controlled buzzw

don junior basically sent a big infomercial for his dad's business?is help the defense, calling him a visionary, some of the sexist projects out there? come on now. >> it doesn't. the judge said it was completely irrelevant. but he let it in, he said he doesn't want to get overturned on appeal. essentially, it sounded like he was trying to sell the judge a timeshare, as opposed to illegal defense. >> oh my god. let's be clear, that never works for anyone. >> exactly. like many bad presentations, this was also a scam. i mean, he was going through the trump history with photographs and hours of a power point of showing pools, penthouses, and golf courses, and describing in those flowery terms if missionary, iconic, and spectacular. and he is skipping over the multiple bankruptcies, all the workers that have been stiff, all the time that trump's slum lords, like, all of that kind of fell off the hours long presentation. so, as the judge said, it was irrelevant. but he let him do it. and, you know, we are all -- >> we are probably in the most important pa

that has been how we've done things throughout this entire trial including last week when don junior and eric were testifying. so again i wouldn't expect former president trump to speak to the media, perhaps during the lunch break or the morning session. will wrap up in early afternoon and resume at 2:15. i wouldn't expect comments in the middle of the day but perhaps after he is done testifying i would expect to hear from the former president himself. >> dana: we have a few shots inside the courtroom. they allow everybody to get a scene setter on video. that's been consistent every day. there you see president trump. history making, bill, as you said. >> bill: unprecedented. also the leading nominee in the republican fight for the nomination. >> dana: by far. >> bill: had words at an event on saturday and he made mention of it walking in, right? polling shows i'm leading. this is called election interference. he said it repeatedly for the past several weeks and said it is an unfair situation. similar comments that we've heard prior. >> dana: he has a very determined look on his face

that was don, junior walking in just before. we'll keep an eye on everything.sted. mike. >> mike: fox news confirming secret service agents protecting the agent's granddaughter thwarted a carjacking last night in georgetown. peter doocy is live at the white house with the latest. >> it is extremely uncommon in any situation for secret service officers protecting either the president, the vice president, or members of their immediate families to discharge a weapon. that is what happened last night. some officers at about midnight who were out with naomi biden, the president's granddaughter, hunter biden's daughter, out with her in georgetown. saw somebody breaking into a government vehicle, we don't know if it was an s.u.v. or sedan. we believe it would have had government license plates. they saw three people trying to break in. the secret service officer found it in his or her best judgment to start shooting at the person and we're told they don't think anybody was hit but the three car thieves, carjackers got away. there is a regional alert out right now for

nevertheless, that guy, that incredibly adapt but rhetorician, don junior, who's been making the roundsmedia, spewing false claims rather incoherently, that dude is scheduled to take the witness stand tomorrow in manhattan in a courtroom. so i want to tell the whole truth as part of the 250 million dollar civil fraud trial lawyer he, his father, brother, and other trump executives were already found liable of frontally inflating the value of assets. the non jury bench trial will determine the amount of the damages. donald junior's brother eric will also take the witness stand likely on thursday, but it could happen as soon as tomorrow. next week, donald trump himself is set to appear on the witness stand, as well as his daughter ivanka. barbara mcquade is a former attorney for the new york eastern district, msnbc legal analyst, and she joins me now. let's start here. it's sort of while the family is going to sit for this. i guess the first question is obviously given the absolute constitutional right against self incrimination under the fifth amendment, that can be invoked at anytime, e

. >> como el caso es civil, nadie terminarÍa en la cÁrcel, maÑana regresa don junior a concluir su testimonio, el voto final fue de 179 a favor y 207 en contra, estÁ bajo investigaciÓn por fraude y bajo la lupa del comitÉ de Ética de su cÁmara, fue descubierto mintiendo en curriculum, historia de vida, recibiÓ ilegalmente beneficios de desempleo y estafÓ donantes segÚn las acusaciones. hoy termina el tercer y Último dÍa de la protesta de trabajadores de farmacias que se quejan de jornadas extenuantes y falta de personal y reclaman mejores condiciones laborales, mÁs de 4.000 eempleados no se presentaron a sus puestos de trabajo y farmacias cerraron en 15 estados. incluso algunos pacientes dicen que sÍ sintieron el impacto. >> hay veces que hay fila, entonces tenemos que esperar aparte su medicamento u otro tanto tiempo. >> la asociaciÓn de farmacÉuticos respaldÓ la medida, mientras grandes farmacÉuticas han descartado interrupciones significativas por las protestas. una masa de aire polar ha invadido aproximadamente 80% del paÍs generando caÍda sÚbita en las temperaturas esta noche mÁs de 70 m

why do think your poor cousins, don junior and eric have such poor memories? since alzheimer's doesn't run in my family. but i think a simpler, less scary explanation for what is going on. donny and eric think i had three choices going into their testimony. they could either plead the fifth, which is as we know in a civil case is -- very different from pleading the fifth in a criminal case. it can be used against you in a particular way. they could lie, commit perjury or they could tell the truth. and i think they chose a version of the first one, which is simply to say they remember absolutely nothing because lying in a courtroom is very different from flying outside of the courtroom and telling the truth for these people is never a good option. >> so on that note of telling the truth, inside a courtroom versus outside where they constantly lie, what is donald trump going to do tomorrow? how do you put donald trump understand? and he put him under oath. the man isn't walking perjury trap. if you were his lawyer, when you just have your head in your hands toni
