thank you so much as bringing cnn legal analyst elie honig on this. so donald trump speaks, donald trump. as you heard, la, he went off about the gag order saying that gag order has to be lifted. he's facing a lot of questions and is going to face a hearing about did he crossed the line and how much next week. what do you think of this extra element that we've learned up of prosecutors saying they don't want to they don't want to say who their for its first witnesses could be because of what donald all trump could do so kate, that's an example of one way we're donald trump could actually suffer a meaningful consequences of violating the gag order because prosecutors, as we've been discussing, they now alleged that donald trump in his social media post has violated the gag order ten times, and it looks like they're right in most or all hello, those allegations, the problem though is one of enforcement and discipline. l that the law aows the judge to do is either a imposed fines, but under the new york law that the da cited only a maximum of $1,000 per

bring back elie honig. do this as well because the idea of him being having to be almost sequestered from the his trial would not be in line with what is accepted and allowed four different defendants, but there is a circumstance as you describe, if fact he were engaged in intimidation, he could be removed from the courtroom and not be able to be there. remember, there was a moment during this trial where they believed that he was uttering towards the direction of one of the jurors. and after the juror left the room, the judge admonished his counsel to say, and he will not have jurors intimidated in that courtroom. and so the antics or behavior that could result could impact his ability to remain in an ability to confront the witnesses. again, some of the president is trial. now let's go back to ontario, canada, because i want to see what kyle has to say. kyle, what's your question? >> well, thanks for taking my call my question is is it enough for the prosecution in the making their case that the election

i want to bring in our senior legal analyst, elie honig, for a closer look. ellie walk us through the so-called sandoval hearing. >> well, we'll think of a sandoval motion as a warning shot. this is the way that prosecutors here in new york advise any criminal defendant in any case here in new york. if you take the stand, of course, we will cross-examine you about the actual charges, but we're also going to cross-examine you about these other bad facts that you engaged in. and here, there's three main things that prosecutors say they want to cross-examine donald trump on. if big if he takes the stand. first of all, is the recent verdict against him in civil court over the trump civil fraud case, the allegation that donald trump was involved in inflating the value of his assets the second thing prosecutors want to bring up is the e jean carroll verdict for sexual assault and for defamation and the third thing that prosecutors say they'd like to cross-examine donald trump on outside the scope of these charges is a recent lawsuit that donald trump filed against

when the parties open on monday we'll watch it together with you, elie honig. thank you very, very much. let's get some more insight right now from robert raise served as counsel, the former president trump during his first impeachment robert, thanks so much for joining us. how do you think trump's team is working to craft opening statements for monday morning, take us inside the process well, the good thing for them, and it doesn't always happen in every case is that they have a weekend to prepare for this and so they will be working over the course of this evening and in through the throughout the weekend. >> and my guess is they'll probably do. i've todd blanche is giving the opening statement a mock opening statement now run through perhaps before jury consultants and a reaction to how that goes over with with mock jurors. and my guess also is that it will be a presentation in front of the client, in front of donald trump himself, who will be in a position to critique and amend and make suggestions as to what he thinks the opening should be. so there'll be

cnn senior legal analyst, former us assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york, elie honig. elie, this has to do judge aileen cannon asked both the prosecution and the defense and to write hypothetical jury instructions on the issue of whether the mar-a-lago documents were in fact personal property. donald trump's property in the filing judge, the special counsel, jack smith wrote, quote, the court should be aware at the outset that the trump's entire effort to rely on the pra, the presidential records act is not based on any facts. it is a post-talk justification that was concocted more than a year after he left the white house the special counsel also writes there is no basis in law or fact for that legal presumption in the court should reject trump's effort to invent one as a vehicle to inject the presidential records act into this case. what do you see their ally? >> well, john jack smith's frustration really just jumps off the page in this brave that by the way, classifies as a prosecutorial temper tantrum. i mean, usually prosecutors are very just the facts very defer

elie honig. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thanks, >> so what's going on inside of trump's mind after a judge that he likes ruled against him, couple that with all his other legal and financial blows this week, someone one who knows him well, will join us to talk about it, plus a $30,000,000 mystery. who was behind this? one of the biggest heist in la the street, how did they do this we have insight from an eps s bank robber that's right ahead >> florida for walk-up blocks, first-ever water fraud, whole innovation showdown favorite all-star teams are back and we're out for redemption >> new season, you challenges uniform identical properties and we're taking on every room in the house. >> it's time to sink or swim rock the block. >> all new monday night at nine on hgtv what's the greatest invention of all time, new hands-free sketcher slip ends. you just slip in and they're on. it's like they have an invisible built-in shoe horn. so your foot slides into place so that bending down are touching your shoes, the

also with this, of course, former federal prosecutor elie honig adam, let me start with you. you know, these prosecutors, you know, this, judge, you know, this courthouse. what can you tell us about what you think is going on in that courtroom right now? >> so right now, i think jake the lawyers are putting up certain pretrial motions before jury selection begins, which is pretty common i think one of the significant ones we heard talk of earlier was the motion to introduce other other bad acts by donald trump the accusations of sexual impropriety and how he responded to those. and it sounds like judge merchan sort of said no, you can't bring in those prejudicial effect would outweigh their probative value. other matters obviously, stormy daniels, karen mcdonald, those will be allowed to come in, but the judge is trying to strike a balance between the probative value and the prejudicial effect of these other sort of uncharged bad acts. >> karen, you know, the prosecutors, what are these first couple of rulings tell you about the judge's overall approach to the case. >> the ju

now, cnn senior legal analyst, former federal and state prosecutor, former mma tuczyn bureau elie honig, councillor. thank you for being with us. does this mark the end of donald trump trying to delay the new york criminal trial. no more requests you think from his attorneys? not at all, >> john, i expect to see >> almost daily request if we go by the pattern that's been established over the last few days, it is nothing all that unusual to see a defense lawyer in these last few days before a trial date, go to the judge and braise these sort of emergency motions. we need more time. we need a postponement. however, donald trump, as he is, want to do, seems to be pushing this two and beyond any extreme and there's a bit of a boy who cried wolf effect happening here where the judge has heard enough of these last emergency motions. there have been three or four just in last week or so that it seems to be costing trump in terms of credibility and the judge seems fed up and he's sort of whisking them away with the back of his hand at this point. >> yet, let's take one for instance, one is the

let's get some more and donald trump's legal troubles with our senior legal analyst, elie honig and cnn anchor kaitlan collins le, how unusual is this sort of request to amend jury questions on this? the eve of the start of this historic trial, first time in american history of former president will face criminal charges in a trial. how do you think the judge is likely to? >> what will down. trump has made a series of unreasonable motions that have failed throughout this week, but this particular request is completely reasonable and i think fair and it wouldn't even surprise me if the de agrees. so here's what the judge said. he's going to do. he said he's going to start jury selection by saying, is there anyone here who cannot serve either because of hardship, meaning you have a job that prevents you or some other impediment or because you have such strong bias, you can't sit on this case and all the trump has said, he wants the judge to do is separate those into two different questions so that if if and when he needs to appeal, it will be able to say, look how many people we lost that

elie honig giving us excellent analysis as usual, there's other news that we're following right now. it's knew this morning a long-awaited day those are the words of the attorney for the victims of six former mississippi law enforcement officers who just received state prison sentences, ranging between 15 and 45 years. for the torture and abuse of two black men, the officers who called themselves. and i'm quoting them now, the goon squad pleaded guilty to torturing and sexually assaulting the men. they were sworn to protect in their community >> one of them, >> one of those men was actually shot in the mouth the case has garnered national attention for the racism and the inhumane acts committed back in this 2023 incident last month, all six were sentenced to federal prison terms, ranging from ten to 40 years. cnn senior national correspondent, ryan young is joining us, write now. you've been covering this for us for a while. rian describe the feeling of the courtroom and you were there when the sentences were being handed down >> yeah. we've been covering this case now for over eight

perspective now from former federal chief judge john jones, the third and former federal prosecutor, elie honigt do you make of this filing from the trump team is there any evidence your mind that the judge should recuse himself? >> well, it anderson, first of all, it's good to be back with you. i don't see anything in the motion that's new they indicate that the predicate for this motion as opposed to the one that they filed last year is that he's now the nominee instead of the presumptive nominee or he's going to be the nominee i don't think that that changes anything in particular in terms of a factual basis and you just mentioned that the judge made some statements to the press. i frankly don't see anything there that would disqualify him. of course, preparation is intense some people would argue that judges shouldn't talk to the press at all. i guess you could make a case for that, but there was nothing that he said that was in my view, a basis to recuse elie. you wrote a piece last year calling >> for the judge to recuse himself. why is that? and do you still believe it? >> i do still bel

honestly, any minute now, cnn senior legal analyst elie honig is here so la thanks so much for being here. we're still waiting on judge merchan to issue his ruling on whether or not trump violated the gag order. how long could this be left unresolved? well, it's up to him, but he's got to move fast. >> i mean, how much more evidence could he need them? this as the order is pending, donald trump is going out and revivim waiting and revitalizing. it would you think he did it? oh, i think you've all ten those are all tentative, i think. yes, i think the judge the judge has tended to split the baby as we say, he may peel off a couple of them and say, this one's a little bit ambiguous. the judge is going to find that he violated the vast majority of those ten or i think it's 11 now and maybe more pending. >> i if i had to guess, i would guess we'll get a ruling tomorrow earlier before the court de so tabloid to magnate david pecker, that's a nice version for what he has sleaze merchant former publisher of the national enquirer, testified for about two-and-a-half hours yesterday. >> he's b

. >> cnn senior legal analyst elie honig injury consultant jill huntley, taylor. >> so first of all, we're waiting on the judge to rule about what they can ask them about how much they can ask about past cases. >> when do you think that's going to happen and how likely is it they're gonna get everything they want. >> so i think it's going to happen monday morning, probably before openings. the test here is not whether the other information that prosecutors might want to cross-examine trump about show that he's a terrible guy. that in fact is supposed to be not the purpose. the purpose is to show that he's dishonest, that he lacks trustworthiness. so if you look at the various things prosecutors are trying to get in, i think the judge will allow prosecutors to ask him about the civil fraud trial, perhaps defaming e. jean carroll, then you get into sort of more distinct, separate stuff like the frivolous lawsuit against hillary clinton feels like a stretch to me. so i think the judge is going to do what we've seen him do quite a lot of which is little bit for the prosecution, little bi

our panelists here, cnn senior legal analyst, elie honig, franklin for his staff writer with the atlantic, mac oermann, former senior advisor to the tim scott presidential campaign and kate bedingfield, former white house communications director there is here. good morning to all of you on i mean, how many historic day is l here? we're going to have here but this is one. >> what do you expect today? well the opening statements, first of all, are as the name suggests, it's your first shot at the jury. >> i mean, this is talking about first impressions. this is when you get to make these opening statements should not be lengthy. sometimes you're reading the newspaper about someone giving a six-hour opening. i cringe whenever i see that you need to get right to it, but you need to establish your themes and you need to set expectations as alert. so the prosecution is going to argue, first of all, their theme is that this is not about just hush money or business records. this is about an effort to do you have 2016 election and they need to give an outline and overview of their case. but they a

cnn senior legal analyst and former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york elie honig. thank you so much. i know you've been up late getting up early. we really appreciate you. >> can you >> just give us an idea of just how significant it is that one of trump's key attorneys, evan corcoran, has now left the trump team well, sarah evan corcoran is now a position to be a crucial witness for jack smith's prosecution team. and if you look at the indictment, essentially, he's the fulcrum of the obstruction of justice counts now, to be clear jack smith's theory is not that evan corcoran is guilty or liable for obstruction rather than donald trump and others used him as a means to commit obstruction for example, at one point, they gave him they put him in a storage room and they said, okay, you're going to do the attorney search of this storage room in response to a subpoena, evan corcoran did that search and then he certified back to doj. we only found so many classified documents. what evan corcoran apparently he did not know. is that trump had 30 some boxes moved out of th

cnn senior legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elie honig, and also seen in political commentator and senior political correspondent for the new york times and trump biographer maggie haberman. >> and >> maggie, i mean, just to hear this quiet, but a big departure from the trump legal team. >> yeah. it's very interesting because as you say, corcoran is a key witness. if this case ever goes to trial, he provided prosecutors and it was under subpoena. this was as you noted prosecutors went and pierced the attorney-client privilege under the crime fraud exception, the trump team had fought this. there was nothing corcoran could do, but corcoran kept notes. >> he >> he he had recorded notes of his conversations with trump and those were extremely helpful to prosecutors as they were trying to figure throughout certain things that had taken place in the aftermath of their repeated efforts to try to get these documents back and their trip to mar-a-lago to try to get documents back. now one of the things that we have seen with trump repeatedly is lawyers leaving him. and what that ends up

let's bring back our legal and political experts in elie honig. once again, new york prosecutors and trump's legal team were told now they have each have just four strikes left tell us what that means. >> so those arprecious, the are what we call your peremptory strikes, meaning, even if a person gs through the whole filtering process, ev if a person does not have a hardship, even if a person does not self-identify and say i have too much bias, i need to go that's two ways we get rid of people, even if the judge has said this person is okay in my book, still have that gas peremptory challenge as a prosecutor or defense they each start with ten, meaning they each removedix and you want to hold onto those. there's sometrategy involved in th. there's some gamesmanship involved in this. but what you really looking to do is eliminate the rst-case scenios, especially from the prosecuto's side, beuse as we were just discussing, you just want to guard againsthat one or two rogue? manhattan knights, who might be sympathetic to donald trump. it's interestg

let's bring in two other legal experts, cnn's senior legal analyst, and former federal prosecutor elie honig, and the director of the harvard criminal justice institute professor ronald sullivan, professor, i'm going to start with you because i just want to get your take on the whole animal trump of it all. and not necessarily about the fact that he's famous. but about the fact that he is somebody less, it's very strong feelings by most americans whether you're very strongly for him or very strongly against him, given the fact that what is going on right now is one of the key questions that is being asked is whether or not you think you can, as a juror be fair and impartial. how difficult is it to genuinely find a juror who can say yes? >> i think it is very difficult and genuinely difficult to find a juror who genuinely can put aside predispositions and those sorts of things in order to render a fair and impartial verdict. but very difficult, does not mean impossible. and the court this is going to take its time. i know initially you said it's going at a glacial pace and it is and it should

. >> i wondering and also former federal prosecutor, cnn senior legal analyst elie honig, and best-selling author, geoffrey tube and jeff who would, you expect take the stand next? >> there. they are working up to michael cohen. i don't know if he will be next, but he will be soon, but these this testimony, it's not the most thrilling stuff in the world to see the czechs and the financial transactions put in into evidence. but this is is going to corroborate michael cohen. it's going to be very important testimony that the prosecution is going to say, look, michael cohen didn't invent these transactions here are the money that pet changed hands. here is how it was done here it was when it was done so it's very important that this testimony come before michael cohen because it will corroborate him, at least in part, when he does take this and that's important if you're given his credibility problems. >> yeah, i'm look, the goal of prosecutors, the task that prosecutors have to deal with is they have to support michael cohen every possible way they can checks financial documents, ledgers, ot

let's get right to the lead star legal analyst elie honig, le. is there anything trump lawyers can do at this point? it's thursday, so there's still friday, saturday, sunday before monday's jury selection hey, jake, today was a notable de know last minute adjournment requests? no emergencies, no appeals, no motions for r0 r0 >> reconsideration, maybe they've seen the writing on the wall that this thing is going on monday. now, the only things they can theoretically do is first of all, try to ask new york's highest court the, court, of appeals to take a look at some of these appeals which were already rejected and maybe in the farthest off scenario to ask the us supreme court to get involved. any such effort though is doomed, both in terms of substance. he's gotten nothing here in terms of his arguments and in terms of procedure and in terms of timing, we are under 100 hours away from the start of jury selection. and i think this thing is going. >> trump has not won any of these efforts, but is there any harm to trump's legal team's credibility it

. >> i want to >> bring in cnn, senior legal analyst and former assistant us attorney elie honig la i mean hope hicks has testified before in that in 2019, she testified would the molar investigation and she's testified to this grand jury that eventually indicted trump. what do you make of what she could offer to prosecutors? >> well, she's potentially a very powerful witness for prosecutors. first of all, it appears she was part of these crucial conversations when my michael cohen and donald trump are talking about paying off stormy daniels and karen mcdougal. and importantly, why that's one of the key questions here were they paying her to silence or in relation to the election, or just for personal reasons. also, she's perfectly situated as a witness for a prosecutor. she's not like michael cohen. she hasn't spent her whole life talking negatively about trump's. she hasn't split from donald trump. i mean, they've parted ways on some things, but she still more or less in trump's camp. and so if you trust her testimony and we know they have her testimony because they put her in the g

now, elie honig seen senior legal analyst and former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york. these jury questions are fascinating. what they don't ask the jurors straight on is, are you a donald trump supporter? but they basically ask it 18 different ways. how does this work and why? >> okay. the all-important art and science of jury selection. so we're going to start with a pool of manhattan in new york county only know bronx know staten island only manhattan nights. the first thing after they fill out the questionnaire, the job federal dismiss some of them who are simply unable to serve. maybe there's a physical limitation. maybe they have a job doctor or teacher that just doesn't allow them to be out for six weeks, then we're going to get into based in part on those jury questionnaires, what we call for cause removals, meaning if someone answers that question, we just saw from katelyn polantz? yes, i do have such strong feelings about donald trump that i could not possibly judge him fairly either way. they're out and that's on the judge, then you're going to n
