these are the texts going back and forth in real time back then between dylan howard and gina rodriguezanswers to the question, was it once or an ongoing relationship? rodriguez says she met him at a celebrity golf tournament. then, another batch of texts, in he word on stormy? this from the 29th of june, 2016. >> the answer, i haven't got to discussing with the chief. on the 23rd of july, almost a month later, what happened with the stormy daniels interview on trump? answer, let's discuss this week. july 23rd, same day, 2016, okay, she's asking. let's talk face to face. okay, what day this week? i'm there sunday night through wednesday. maybe thursday. let's meet on thursday. catherine, again, what they're establishing as a conversation between two people that we are now all privy to, what is the importance of this conversation when it is not between anyone who was directly related to or had an association with donald trump other than what we have found out the relationship between donald trump, pecker, howard and the "national enquirer." >> well, it is relevant to miss daniels. you ha

the final text messages from dylan howard to gina rodriguez saying i have good news, i hear.have good news, i hear, and i'm paraphrasing here, and essentially the entire exchange over this six-month period, chris, is the back and forth, the negotiations, the leading up to this ultimate $130,000 payoff to stormy daniels even in the final weeks leading up to october 26th in these text messages. they haven't come through on the agreement, on the payout, so they're going with daily mail, their loss, but then subsequently, obviously as we know now, so many years later, why we're here now is the $130,000 did, in fact, come through. it was fascinating to see a glimpse of this negotiation going between howard and gina rodriguez and wanting to show the jury the lead up to the ultimate payoff. >> so, chuck, where are the glaring holes that the prosecution is expecting, hoping, planning for michael cohen to fill? >> yeah, it's not really a glaring hole, chris. it's an obvious need for proof as i had mentioned earlier. the records were false, they were intentionally false, and they were

the trump team has gone. >> so right now these tax between stormy daniels manager at the time, gina rodriguez, and dylan howard, who was the editor in chief of the national enquirer. howard says, i thought she denounced it previously. rodriguez response. she said she will do it under two conditions. stormy. daniel says she doesn't know who dylan howard is. i don't know what this is in reference to. she says, you want me to comment on something when i don't do the contexts and that's not fair but the argument being made is that dylan howard from the national enquirer is saying to gina rodriguez, stormy daniels manager at the time, you're selling what story you're trying to sell me. she already said twice it didn't happen. everyone standby. the sketch of the day we're going to bring you right now because there are no cameras in this form. i'm ridiculously this is from courtroom artist jane rosenberg. it's depicting donald trump looking on today as prosecutors questions. stormy daniels, you see the photograph there the other image behind trump's faces, trumps image. and then of course that storm

so on october 17th, 2016, gina rodriguez text, we're not doing the deal, the trump deal.an howard replies, keith gave me a heads up what happened. gina rodriguez, they didn't pay when they said they would and they keep trying to buy more time. "daily mail" wants it bad and we're doing it. the foot dragging by michael cohen and donald trump ends on october 7th the last text message from dylan howard the day before that says, quote, good news i hear. prosecutors today also got to the actual charges at hand, those 34 felony counts for falsifying business records for the first time in the trial. the d.a.'s office put each one of the allegedly false records on display for the jury. there were 11 invoices, 11 vouchers and 12 checks, all relating to the reimbursement of one of their next witnesses. multiple sources telling nbc that michael cohen will take the stand monday for what is expected to be several days of dramatic testimony. also brought up in court today, one person who looms over this case, former trump org cfo allen weisselberg. he signed off on the plan to reimburse

all these text messages, reading them ad nauseam that dylan howard says this, gina rodriguez said thaty mail was going to pay 200. what you going to do and then they bring in these paralegals from the da's office in manhattan. they said donald trump said this on twitter and at that time this was happening. the jury is yawning and sitting there. they don't know what's going on either. they don't know the crime is. >> martha: i always like to go back to this point because i think it adds to what you're saying. the federal election commission looked at this and i passed it. >> they said there is no law broken here. alvin bragg was pressured to take this case, you know, mark pomerantz want to this case to be pursued. he left and wrote a book about it. brett has a lot on the line here. and he's the only one of these cases that's likely to have been before the election. >> there's no other case that's going to go to trial before the election but as i was sitting there looking at alvin bragg's back i couldn't help but think he's here because he knows and if he doesn't win this case he's in de

i have to say, when it comes to gina rodriguez and the relationship they talked about with davidson, had a reciprocal referral business where she sent you clients and vice versa. davidson said, i didn't try to. she was contacted by the district attorney's office. they wanted her to come in and give a statement and she contacted me. the relationship with rodriguez and you in 2023 is such she trusted you to be her counsel. davidson said, true. they used davidson to admit when he was retained by stormy daniels in 2011 to help take down this blog post on the dirty.com, that retention was not reduced to writing and there was nothing wrong with that. lisa is saying, expect them to come back to that in closing to highlight that the absence of an agreement, a retainer agreement between cohen and donald trump is not in and of itself proof of anything and that trump was paying cohen for legal services. if you remember, there was no retainer agreement between donald trump and michael cohen, which is central to this indictment that was levelled by the manhattan d.a. and central to the trial in t

he failed to fund the settlement, i am out and by the way i don't represent stormy daniels or gina rodriguez anymore. nonetheless, michael cohen gets called back into action and the whole deal gets papered in 24 hours. we know that because of the banker. >> what was your impression? i think both of you were on the same page that pecker was an interesting witness and frank and not squarely and very upfront about the world he operates in and for that reason was a fairly credible witness. what did you think of davidson today? >> look, i thought he was also basically straight and most important he really brought us to the precipice of stormy daniels and the crisis. there were these texts that every step and then when the access hollywood tape hits you have him talking and saying he is deschutes the end, waved the white flag. in the end he was very effective in reinforcing the notion that at this point it is a nitroglycerin crisis that has to be dealt with. >> when planet hollywood drops. >> when access hollywood drops, yes. >> access hollywood, i always do that. i don't want to defame the wonder

i'm out and i do not represent stormy daniels or gina rodriguez anymore. michael cohen gets called back into action, and the whole deal gets papered in a matter of 24 hours. we know that because of the banker. >> what was your impression that david pecker, he was interesting witness and soared to frank and not shadowy and not squarely. area front about what he does and what worldly operates and so he's a fairly credible witness. what did you think of davidson? >> i thought davidson was straight on the most important is he brought us to the precipice of stormy daniels and the huge crisis it is. there was the bland text at every step, and then, when the access hollywood tape hits, you have him talking to dylan howard, and he is so he was effective in reinforcing the notion that at this point it's a nitroglycerin crisis that has to be dealt with. >> when planet hollywood drops. >> access hollywood. >> sorry. i don't want to defame the wonderful restaurant chain. [ laughter ] the key sort of -- the key narrative point i took away, and i have not read the trans

gina rodriguez is another one that is leaving a question in the minds of the jurors.he agent for stormy daniels that contacted keith davidson with the instruction that they contact michael cohen to pitch the sale of stormy daniels story. why would you pitch specifically michael cohen with stormy daniels story rights if you wanted the story to be told? what do you think michael cohen will do it stormy daniels story rights and what more, perhaps gina rodriguez would back up at that offense a saying which is stormy daniels was interested in what? money peered not getting the story out in the big one as alan weisselberg. he was a big part of these conversations with donald trump and michael cohen and is a big missing link to all of this. we will have to see what type of instruction the judge offers the jury on how to handle these missing witnesses. >> john: one more question to you. this comes from andy mccarthy who says steinglass makes the argument that is the reason that andy has described cohen as a double-edged sword for trump. prosecutors didn't choose didn't choose

if you remember the whole idea of why it was being drawn out, right, and gina rodriguez reaches out in2016, and it's not until october of 2016 that stormy daniels was paid. donald trump was directing him to draw it out, so maybe they wouldn't have to pay stormy daniels, for instance, if they won or lost the election. if they won the election they wouldn't have to pay it, or if they lost it they would not have to pay it because they lost and it wouldn't matter anymore. it came to a head, it seems, michael cohen testified, and they had to pay her in the last weeks of the last weeks leading up to the election. feels like they are coming on their summations, and we have about 30 minutes or so left and they are wrapping it up with stormy daniels's testimony after spending two hours about michael cohen. >> it all comes back to michael cohen. todd blanche has been going on for two hours, and let me take you back into his arguments. he's talking about daniel's claims, and he goes to two months before davidson brings up anything about mcdougal, and he said it's in the middle of the trump campai

it was october in which the payoff was made to stormy daniels, initial contact between gina rodriguez ami was october 8th, 2016. that was about six months after this initial conversation in june when cohen informed donald trump as he alleges about the conversations between dylan howard and karen mcdougal, and their settlement of $150,000. let me read you through quickly this moment if i can. you have a recollection of a call on june 16th of 2016, with president trump, cohen says yes, sir. you called schiller and gave the phone to president trump. you don't have a specific recollection in 2016. no, sir. 1,400 a month, conservatively 14,000 calls a year in 2016 and 2017? yes, sir. you were in prison for 13 months, are we talking about 50,000 calls between 2016 and today. you testified about specific conversations you had with pecker, howard, and president trump. you were not testifying about specific calls were you, cohen says i was. they're trying to couple two separate things. blanche is talking about the time line. setting up, getting into the important time line when it comes to sto

boyfriend -- gina rodriguez is stormy daniels's agent at the time, goes out in the media and tells thestory that stormy daniels in the weeks prior to the election was basically yelling and screaming and calling me a p word, and you can guess what that word is. michael cohen says can i ask you the question. no, no, hold on a second, i wouldn't be surprised if she comes out and says stormy daniels wanted this money more than you can ever imagine. i remember hearing her on the phone saying you blanking keith davidson, you better settle this story because if he loses this election -- and he's going to lose -- if he loses this election, we lose all leverage in this case, it's worth zero, and if that happens i'm going to sue you because you lost this opportunity. so settle this blanking case and then they go on because they bring up the nda, right? the settlement, the $130,000, and the point of which there's an exchange between necheles and stormy daniels. there's a lot to talk about here. there's a settlement agreement between two parties. you said a few things that will be agreed to prior

so said the text from gina rodriguez representing the -- i mean, you had all this evidence.y're coming back to is the kinds of documents that would make you simply believe what you can see right before you. >> right. almost the fact you have to litigate it at all is kind of a wild concept or the fact the defense believes or even tried to justify and make the case that somehow -- that that was not a driving force of any action. i think it was notable here in just the last few moments that josh steinglass was very specific, when talking about the payments to stormy daniels. quote, it's no coincidence the sex happened in 2006 but the payoff happened less than two weeks before the 2016 election. the defendant's primary concern was not his family but the election. and i think that that timeline and the "access hollywood" tape made that crystal clear. and that's where hope hicks' testimony was so crucial to this here. and also the extent to which she engaged in text messages which they are now recalling here for the jurors. the text messages that she exchanged on november 4th and

. >> flash forward to the year 2016 and stormy's agent or manager, gina rodriguez, suggests stormy should sell her story, saying interest in her account spiked after the infamous "access hollywood" tape is released. from nbc news's reporting, quote, the prosecution asks how did you feel about the $130,000 at the time? daniels responds, i didn't care about the amount. she was just, get it done. the money didn't matter to me. i didn't pick a number. stormy daniels continued. the prosecution went on to ask, why didn't you ask for more money? and daniels answered, because i didn't care about the money. testimony about their sexual encounter prompted team trump to move from mistrial this afternoon. trump's lawyer, todd blanche, said her comments about her safety were prejudice judicial. the woman at the heart of the hush money case on the stand, as we speak, is where we go inwith some of our favorite reporters and friends at the table for the hour. former executive editor, special correspondent for "the hollywood reporter," lochlin cartwright, andrew weissmann, and deputy chief for the souther

prosecution on the redirect, about michael avenatti, and the wedge between stormy and her agent, gina rodriguez. avenatti was trying to insert himself into things. there's so many names, so many characters. not all of them on the up and up. michael avenatti is in prison right now. he didn't do well by stormy daniels. how do all of these dirty players read to a jury maybe? >> it could be both ways. one, you could say, well, that's who donald trump associated with. the problem is donald trump did not have any direct contact with this witness. it was cohen. donald trump had direct contact with mr. pecker. what did mr. pecker say, he dealt with cohen when it came to the payoffs. this is all about building reasonable doubt. >> one of the questions i still have is what directly links donald trump to any of this? you have michael cohen on paperwork, michael cohen having texts, phone call, there's not a lot of donald trump. the only direct donald trump conversations we've got so far was from the first witness, and that was david pecker. >> in the end, the lot of this is a side show. the key question is

i'm assuming from my time there, keith davidson was a top contact of dylan howard, much like gina rodriguez. >> and dylan howard being the editor. >> the editor in chief, the person who isn't testifying as far as we currently know. davidson was intimately involved with ami in terms of repping different women, different people who were involved with sex tapes and he's a fixer for all intents and purposes. this is one of i think the most time he's spent in court for some time and he is used to sending threatening letters and getting on the phone with people and doing deals for consideration. >> what would be the relevance of proving that davidson was selling lots of these stories, because that isn't the point of this case? the point is whether or not specifically the stormy daniels payment and the repayment that is being complained about by michael cohen has to do with the election. >> part of is to paint him as a shady character, always shaking down people. charlie sheen, hulk hogan, lindsay lohan. and donald trump is one of them. and part of this constellation of famous people who at some t

they actually did not really have a relationships, so she had an agent named gina rodriguez at the time who was herself a former porn actress, who represented a lot of sort of like third tier celebrities who wanted to. they had essentially dirt like tiger woods. mr. says, and people who had relationships with other celebrities like charlie sheen. and so gina rodriguez was representing stormy and she was the link between stormy and keep davidson her her lawyer and keith davidson also had had some dealings with the national enquirer or so there was a group of people that were working together in this of hollywood scandal paparazzi industry. and that's sort of how stormy got connected to michael cohen in the end micro-rough felt. >> thank you so much for talking to us this morning. i appreciate a lot to watch four with stormy daniels when she comes on the trump to speaking length, gesturing with his hands to his attorney as he whispers to her, he also wrote a note moments ago on a pad on his desk the attorneys now handle no to a colleague. we've seen this a lot. naaf look what this feels l

the last tax that haven't showed, i was rodriguez, gina rodriguez running. she never did hoffinger notes that the defense did not show that tax during cross-examination it would be surprising to me if hoffinger goes back to what happened in tahoe because again, that's really not what is charged here. it appears based on what we know so far earlier today, during cross-examination, daniels pushed back on trump's attorney about these texts, testifying that she didn't even know about them so i agree it is interesting that this is where they're going to focus. they're already moving on now to anderson's is 60 minutes interview and what she said there again, during a during the defense was asking her she was pointing out that stormy down is pointing out of the six minutes, doesn't pay for interviews stormy daniels in said she that she was pointing that out because the defense was pointing out how much she they believed she was motivated by money, which is probably why haven't are began with the question of just acknowledging that stormy daniels did want to get pai

who was gina rodriguez? a talent manager. some color. these questions all over the place, hard to believe the jury's able to follow where necklace is going here. what do you make of it? >> yeah, i think that it might be hard for the jurors to follow if they are taking the testimony, which is what they're supposed to do. only taking the testimony as it comes in from the stand. they're pointing out that she was only doing this to try to make money. again, they're trying to really make donald trump the victim of this all. they're trying to shape that narrative so that they can potentially really support what they're going to probably use as the closing argument. this was a liar. she did this for money. she is not to be believed. and these are all red herrings. but i think one of the things a prosecutor could aim is like it, love it, hate it, whatever. she really had no moral obligation to really disclose this prior to the election. she was paid to be silent. again, that's the main focus. and so the prosecutors really have to, i've done it b

even, you know, the stormy daniels, like all of a sudden we were hearing about a conspiracy with gina rodriguezhe jury has not -- >> is not familiar with. >> because they haven't testified. they're all of a sudden trying to extort donald trump, it's like we're going so far afield. not everybody is lying, focus on the one person you need to be lying to make your case. and it just, again, you just kind of lose -- i think you lose the story, any kind of a narrative, and the focus on reasonable doubt, because i think a lot of us think david pecker was pretty believe eable, hope hicks was pretty believable. when you start attacking everybody, it feels very unfocused. >> not only attacking everybody and a lot of things but not taking on the probably the most damning two pieces of evidence, exhibits 35 and 36, can we pull it up, the account statement from michael cohen's first republic bank account for essential consultants that he opens efectively to receive and pay out the stormy daniels money. literally with the notations on the margins from allen weisselberg talking about the sum of money grossed

and you pointed out some factual misstatements that todd blanche made, for example, about gina rodriguez and who she worked for. do you think that there is, in going to so many different arguments, and trying to find one juror who will find reasonable doubt, also, a potential land mine in that if you say enough things that jurors find make no sense at all, they might punish you for it. >> right. >> absolutely. look, it is a cardinal rule of lawyering that you speak and at most three bullet points, or maybe five, not ten. what todd blanche did here was a david letterman top ten list reasons not to convict his client. i think there is a danger that while you're trying to give just one juror something to hang their hat on, you might have thrown so much at the wall that everybody thinks it is too messy. >>exchange. he was accuing michael cohen of being a lawyer, about a lunch he had with david pecker and everybody was, like, okay, great, we're going to hear something new and they have evidence that michael cohen lied about it. they didn't have evidence that he lied about it and never really

gina rodriguez on behalf of stormy daniels. dylan howard on behalf of american media.course the issue of alan weisselberg. the issue of keith schiller. all of these people are essential witnesses as far as i'm concerned and if i was the defense in this case and i don't know what the judge's charges, but you have to get an adverse witness charge, the fact that alan weisselberg was not called as a witness and was certainly relevant. everything pointed to alan weisselberg being involved in that part of the trump organization that was involved in the book keeping, data is something that should be used against the prosecution because number one he was within their control and number two he had relevant and material evidence. and the fact that case-shiller was not called when case-shiller would clearly say that the conversation was about a 14-year-old harassing michael cohen and not about his phone call with donal donald trump. all of the evidence was very clearly outlined for the jury and i have to tell you he had great lines. that michael cohen is mvp of liars. you've hear

that were just entered into the record today between him and the manager for stormy daniels, gina rodriguez. dylan howard is not going to be testifying because as david pecker told this jury that he is currently going through a medical condition and is in australia and would not be able to come to the u.s. and take part in this trial. that was somebody that could have taken easily a day or two of testimony as well. that is where you saw the text messages between those two individuals read into the record by a member of the d.a.'s team, a paralegal instead. those text messages revealing in so many ways about the engagement between the editor and chief of the "national enquirer" who is not even party to the $130,000 agreement but was understanding of the importance to david pecker and others to make sure that it was executed, communicating with stormy daniels manager who, again, was not keith davidson who was the one who was executing the $130,000, those text messages showed just how great of a scope of individuals there were that were following this over the course of those weeks, and that i

box where dylan says -- >> daniels says -- >> this is a text message they are showing between gina rodriguezdaniels. once again, it's just a recap of what was going on there and how -- the first line of questioning was something won't happen to you if everyone is looking at you, is that daniels says. >> i know you are also taking a look at what's happening. where do you think they're going with this redirect right now? >> it sounds to me as though they might be trying to explain why stormy daniels was so insistent upon telling her story in so many different places. the notion that she may have been somehow fearful that something could have happened to her. by keeping a high profile, she places herself in a position where she's less likely to face physical danger and/or harm. that undercuts a bit of her testimony inasmuch as she acknowledged she faced threats and other things. depending how you argue that, it could undercut. but it also could support. i don't know that this is necessarily a point that i would want to spend a lot of time on or go through the purposes of redirect. >> it does go

we might see some of that i mean, i think we could also see gina rodriguez. i mean, she's been brought up a couple of times. i thought the talent manager exactly. i think she might come up to corroborate some of the things they've been trying to say. and stormy will come up at some point, whether she comes before or after is unknown, but i think we're going to go the six-day weeks. >> all right. well, thank you all very much. it's been a very busy week and next week even more all right. next someone who knows trump very well. >> what she noted but it's between the two in court today, trump and hope hicks, stephanie grisham is next plus cnn learning israel is now briefing biden administration ahead of its plans to enter southern gaza, which could be hours away, days away, the who warning tonight, it could be a bloodbath. fareed zakaria is out front and a revealing looked tonight inside the struggle that more more than half of american households are facing as we speak let's talk those real everybody's trying to make ends meet the whole myth has to be re-imagin

he's trying to he's trying to do a deal here for karen mcdougal he says, quote the that gina rodriguez, that stormy daniels manager calls davidson and says some jerk called me it was very, very aggressive and threatened to sue me. and i would like uk's to call this jerk back and who was that jerk steinglass asked michael cohen, davidson said, so how is this going to impact the jury? do you think when they listened to cohen's testimony, which is expected to be any any day now who was that jerk, nobody wants to hear that. but look, there's a strategy here for the prosecution to put people like keith davidson and these other foundational witnesses on before michael cohen. and the reason is because michael cohen's going to have credibility issues. the fact that he is hectic, the fact that everything's always an emergency. he called them pants on fire that is really not going to be the thing that moves the needle. what's going to be impactful to the jury is what and michael cohen's testimony is corroborated by these other potentially more likable and credible witnesses. so i would expect a

daniels is here is really to reinforce for the jurors that at the moment in time where her manager gina rodriguezame forward and was trying to come to a settlement with people close to former president trump, the reason that it was so important to michael cohen and according to prosecutors to donald trump to purchase her story and bury it is because they were having problems with women voters and so putting stormy's story in the context of other information that we've seen, that is something that the prosecutors are going to have to weave together in their closing argument. if they do that successfully, i think she's give everybody them a lot to work with, because we know from hope hicks how quickly the "access hollywood" storm descended upon them and how impossible it was in the ensuing days for the campaign to dig themselves out from under it. "access hollywood," the story breaks and by october 8th hope hicks is confronted with a rumor of another tape that she's trying to figure out whether it's true or not. on october 9th there's a debate, first question out of the gate from anderson cooper an

he recounted being called initially by gina rodriguez, who was stormy daniels publicist, and keith davis quote, gina called me up to tell me that quote, some jerk called me and was very, very aggressive and threatened to sue me. and i i would you like keith to call this i hate to ask it this way. but who was that jerk? >> davidson responds it was michael cohen and then a little bit later, davidson testifies. i called i was transferred to michael cohen. i introduce myself before i could barely get my name out. i was just met with like a hustle barrage of insults and insinuation in allegations that went on for quite a while. stein glass, the prosecutor asks, what was the gist of what he was accusing you? to of davidson says, i don't think he was accusing us of anything he was just screaming and jeffrey, i know you've reported on kaitlyn. i know you probably had a relation with michael cohen way back when i covered trump way back to 2012. and this is how michael cohen would interact with you when he spoke to you? it was generally screaming and trump's attorney, i should note, was grinning p

blanche says you didn't hear from dylan howard and you did not here from gina rodriguez so really it's speculation. daniels and rodriguez were more aggressively trying to sell her story. bland says, mr. howard is willing to help them. he wants to help ms daniels and ms rodriguez get money. that's not a conspiracy involving mr. pecker, president trump, and michael cohen. and the jury is taking a brief morning break, as is judge merchan so once again, karen, an attempt to undermine a michael cohen's entire testimony and also the prosecution's entitled entire theory of the case. the problem is todd blanche is literally throwing softballs to the prosecution. >> i mean these making arguments that easily if i'm the prosecutor, i'm writing down saying, okay, you say where is allen weisselberg? where it why didn't he testify where is mr. schiller? why didn't he testified on the prosecution? i'd say these are people who are friendly to donald trump if they had anything to say that was positive, then you would expect that donald trump would call them as a witness. and he did it again just now wh

had some locker room behavior or steinglass right now, walking through how things changed for gina rodriguez, trying to sell daniel story, once the access hollywood tape came out he's walking through texts between howard and rodriguez and the hours after the tape went public. and this is this is a question of how you interpret different facts because the defense said that ms rodriguez, who was stormy daniels manager and dylan howard, who was national enquirer editor, that this conversation bubbled back up because of the access hollywood tape. not because there was renewed interest in paying them, but because they were opportunists, that's what the defense says. the prosecution is saying. oh, no, no, no. there was this attempt to buy their silence on the side, on the other end of it, not the stormy daniels end yeah. i mean how is the jury going to really by that? >> i mean, you heard there was also to your point, jake, there was testimony from who picks that donald trump managed every slogan that went out of that 2016 campaign, that everything was run by him. there was testimony from multiple

referring to stormy daniels's manager gina rodriguez, and as keith davidson put it, before the accesslywood tape there was very little if any interest if i understand and gina was trying to sell the story and it wasn't until access hollywood that interest reached a crescendo. and it is covered politics in this period, it is not hard to see why. the tape released on october 7th, 2016 kicked off a firestorm that almost completely engulfed the trump campaign. >> a firestorm is ranging in the republican party and a growing coerce of the republicans calling for the candidate to get out of the race. >> a rare apology from donald trump. he was forced to say he's sorry after a tape surfaced when he said vulgar comments about women. >> hours away and donald trump not backing down. top republicans calling on trump to quit the race. will the gop abandon its own nominee? >> that is the news. and it went on for hours and days and it wasn't really a partisan reaction. democrats and republicans horrified at what he said. he could grab women in the p-word. when you're famous, they let you do it. ha h

gina rodriguez is her name and she's got a character who's come up really from the first day of trial, we are not expected to hear directly from horse a text messages like this. that's how they're the only way the jury is really going to hear who role in all of this. it shows that the pressure that they were trying to supply on trump and his associates to get money for stormy daniels same with dylan howard, not expected to hear from him, although we did hear from david pecker hearing this exchange about all of these efforts it's to get money for her again, that speaks to what happened in october 2016, and they the reason that she eventually received this hundred and $30,000 and it really seems like they are setting themselves up for michael cohen to basically have things to backup what he is going to testify too. >> well, and i think that they have to because they know exactly what the defense is going to do. i mean, michael cohen is a known liar, so they're going to have to paint it as somebody who is backed up by the facts as you noted, these call logs, these various text messages,
