you know, he just had lunch with melania trump. he had taught us and to see him go from that moment of how close he was to where he was in the residence of the white house. to now. here. he is, of course after his testimony on capitol hill after his own plea after we've seen all of that is just remarkable in and of itself to see someone who was so close to trump that, yes, he was his attorney. trump doesn't like the idea that he's referred to as his former fixer, but that is essentially what he did day in and day out for trump . not always with a lot of thanks from trump, but it was remarkably close relationship and so to see that it is transformed from that to where he is now commenting on this indictment vote from a great injury here in manhattan is just remarkable in and of itself. and, of course, so many questions about how this plays into trump's campaign. we don't know that it will be helpful to him. a lot of republicans do think it is going to be something that is helpful to him that he is able to celebrate basically, to a d

dienst, our partner at wnbc is this: cohen felt it was important to keep the matter secret from melania trump trump's marriage. cohen wanted to keep it from his own wife because cohen was taking out a loan to front the money. would any of that be relevant to the charges we believe they're looking at here? >> i predict all of that will make an appearance at trial when trump's defense team cross examines michael cohen robustly. look at the timing of this payment and look at how many years earlier donald trump allegedly had this affair or encounter with stormy daniels. is anybody really going to believe this was about hiding it from melania instead of hiding it from the american people and sort of depriving us of the full value of our vote because this was deeply damaging information to candidate trump? i like the prosecution's argument in that regard better than the defense argument. >> glenn kirschner, always good to see you. thank you forgetting back in front of the camera quickly with that breaking news. >>> the intersection of clean water and justice both at stake with the supreme court now

him he paid up toward star stormy daniels for an alleged affair trump denies in order to protect melania trumpif that is the case it would severely damage d.a. alvin bragg's possible attempt to prove the former president paid daniels off as an improper camping donation and a violation of election law. this comes after trump's first public appearance since announcing his planned arrest. this is that the ncaa wrestling championships in tulsa, oklahoma. today various republicans including trumps former vice president mike pence are coming to his defense. gretz is a time and there's a crime wave in new york city the fact the manhattan d.a. thanks indicting president trump is his top priority. i think it just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country. it just feels like a politically charged prosecution here. >> molly tonight, house speaker kevin mccarthy again weighing in on this too" alvin bragg is abusing his office to target president trump while he has reduced a majority of felonies including violent crimes to misdemeanors. he has different rules for politica

it's incredibly bothered the first lady melania trump when trump was in the white house, and the story was in the headlines every single day. it was a huge issue during the campaign because of just the sensitivity of the nature of it, and so i think that's a big part of why it is something that has bothered him so much. i do think they are thinking of how to translate those images of if it is him walking into the courthouse. what that's going to look like as christian was noting they debated give him giving a speech after remains to be seen. what he ultimately what he does and what that looks like, but it is a very sensitive case for that. yeah it is. it is. you're right. it is personally very sensitive for him. i think that for his aides, they look at it as the investigation of the four that he is facing. that's for criminal investigations, one in georgia to justice department investigations that have sort of merged into one and this one. this is the one they are. they say they are the least worried about the reality is that i'm not sure how much his political advisors actually have t

[ laughter ] meanwhile, i heard that melania trump is still angry at her husband over the stormy danielsympathize with him for facing charges. that's shocking given how warm and affectionate she and donald are in public. [ laughter ] you can tell melania's mad because the last three nights, donald's been sleeping on the golden futon. [ laughter ] well, get this, florida governor ron desantis said that he would not accept an offer to be trump's running mate. that's shocking given how warm and affectionate he and donald are in public. [ laughter ] i think it's a good decision because don and ron doesn't sound like leaders of the free world. [ laughter ] sound like twin brothers on tiktok. [ laughter ] >> who painted the mona lisa? mona lisa. >> yeah. >> da vinkie? >> da vinkie?

and chief of staff to firs lady melania trump she is also the author of th book, i'll take your questionsw. what i saw at the trump whit house. stephanie, good to have yo back in the. broadcast let's get into this this truth social post, w are waiting to see of course o donald trump is arrested, but, it is his post straight out of the trump playbook why is he making thi announcement does he want to see protests does he believe that isn't somewhere beneficial to him? >> i think so i mean, first of all, as yo and gus have already signed, w don't know what is going t happen his own team has put out a statement that was contrary to what the former president said this morning saying that they haven't bee formally told anything but, yes, i think the purpos was to get his supporters rile up i think that he wants to try t cause a scene and maybe he i thinking in his mind that that will make the prosecutor change their mind and if the want to actually go through th stress and all the issues that come with donald trump we >> given how well you kno her, how do you think melania' reaction to her husb

threatening to g public with the story of her affair she said it happened decade prior, just months afte melania trumpth. it's hard to see that scanda in 2023 other than the ones we have the present moment with the current state of mag politics but it's also worth remembering the context of how those events unfolded at the time now remember, i was her at this desk because the context is key if prosecutor are going to, in fact, jarre the ex president with a crim so let's go back to octobe 2016 we were in the final push of a brutal and surreal campaign. it's just hard to remember how deeply weird it was. and the access hollywood tap and just amount. remember that? capturing trump's vulgar discussion about sexuall assaulting women and the backlash was fierce. there were republicans running around saying how ashamed an how awful it was jason schaffer is coming on ou saying on there would be abl to look my daughter in the eye again if i support donal trump. remember that? and in that moment, there wa every reason to believe that another scandal like this on would just be it i mean, there's reason t believe

i had the opportunity to work with her when i was working for melania trump.her husband, talked openly about him. you can tell she'll be a big part of being on the campaign trail if and when he does announce. and i think that will be a big help to boost him and boost him as a family man regular guy. >> well, we'll have to continue this conversation because obviously this is going to be a crucial part of this campaign, as it seems at this point. thank you both very much. >>> and, next, what's behind the sudden spike of new bills targeting drag events? well, look at this. >> i don't even want to imagine a life where i can't be the person that i worked so hard to finally figure out who i am. >>. >>> plus, the president of a group of little-known pacific islands is now taking on the juggernaut, china's xi jinping, accusing china of bribery and threats. you'll see why. for immune cells and sustain tissueue health. ensure with twenty-five vitamins and minerals, and ensure comomplete with thirty grgrams of protein. with fidelity income planning, we'll help you create

were made because cohen felt it was important to keep the stormy daniels matter a secret from melania trump in order to protect their marriage. we are keeping an eye on that courtroom in case costello comes out to speak with reporters, he could. we're also watching for michael cohen who says he's been asked to rebut costello to the grand jury if need be. here's some of what cohen would likely say from his own attorney who just spoke with wnbc. >> donald trump must be treated like any other citizen, and there aren't two systems of justice. no person is above the law. that's what we're facing now. we have indisputable evidence from the southern district of new york after an investigation that donald trump instructed michael cohen to commit a crime. cohen went to jail for it. now it's time for accountability. >> the charge does come, it could come as early as this week. it's monday, so maybe soon. donald trump says he's preparing for it. he's asking for his supporters to protest it. and now the gop is finding itself in the same position it did after the 2020 election. defend donald trump after

of people are going to roll their eyes and say, yeah, we all know that he had an affair while melania trumpth a porn star, we heard him from that anyways, we heard the tape, we know who he was. but you consider racketeering charges, they have three recordings of them pressuring officials in georgia to overturn the results of the 2020 election. that's the one you will be able to win public approval, where everyone can say, you really should not have been doing that. >> dana: so, jesse though, you can talk about whatever you want, but on the bragg piece, overstepping the bounds is almost as if the democrats want exactly what happened in 2016 to happen again. >> jesse: they better not put my president in prison, he represents 74 million americans, and if he is the nominee, you are putting 74 million votes in prison. and that's how i see it. >> jessica: really? >> jesse: on a book keeping charge. he put a payment to a woman in the legal column, that was in the wrong column? hill hillary put the dossier in the same call in and she got fine. john edwards use campaign donations to silence a mistre

melania. right, so listen. nobody wants to be indicted. but i'm gonna tell you what if you're donald trump the personal stuff you're correct, but would you rather be indicted about a porn star pay out a long time ago or for the direction of coup and trying to steal an election? look it's if you have republicans watching and they think there's some sophisticated conspiracy by progressives to take over. you can relax now because this this is not well coordinated, well coordinated progressive conspiracy would not start with the porn star. it would start with the coup. and so i just think that the end of the day this he has made a decision yet. and we don't know it just before you go talk about rhonda santis in this new interview that he gave to piers morgan. i just want people to see a clip of it quick. your favorite nickname that trump's given you so far as it run rhonda, sanctimonious or meatball rock. why can't even he went off meatball wrong? i can't i don't know how to spell the sanctimonious. i don't really know what it means. but you know, i kind of like it's long. it's got a lot of va

of trying to discredit the notes that the payments were just to protect from embarrassment to melania trump. this was in 2021, american media inc. a complaint with the federal election commission alleging they unlawfully aided trump in 2016, the fec found pecker and ami violated federal election laws by making a payment to playboy model karen mcdougal in order to purchase and bury a story about her 2006 affair with trump, and mr. pecker admitted the payments had been made in order to help trump campaign so he's the other character, and of course, there's stormy daniels. let me read the response from ms. daniels' attorney. the indictment of donald trump is no cause for joy. the hard work and conscientiousness of the jurors must be respected. now let truth and justice prevail. no one is above the law. and now let me read the statement from ron desantis, the just went away he has issued a statement saying that he will not, will not help to stand in the way -- here it is, moments ago, ron desantis tweeted an attack on d.a. alvin bragg accusing him of weaponizing the legal system, he also said,

he was worried melania trump would be upset. he didn't want to embarrass. you know his kids.e wouldn't say he's felt a sense of shame, because i don't think he feels shame. does it does that and he cared about the affecting the election. if there were other reasons other than just the election. does that make him immune here for the purpose of affecting the campaign, right? that's what matters here, and there's lots of other there can be other issues involved, as well. as long as the campaign was involved. the question is, what would it have been made, but for the election that is with the legal test. and so it does matter if there were other reasons. but there's really good evidence that it was made because of the campaign. stormy daniels had come forward before and asked for payment and he refused to pay her and it was only as things were heating up with the 2016 campaign and in particular, right after the release of the access hollywood tape, which had done considerable damage to his campaign that he decided now was the time that he had to make sure that she didn't come fo

privately dated daniels in 2006 four months after they were born melania trump son beren 10 years onhad to be urgently forgotten and hidden far away for their silence and the parties received 130,000 dollars and she was transferred by ex- trump lawyer michael a criminal offense and prosecution not because of infidelity to his wife. even if the controversial actress and not because of the purchase of her silence due to the fact that trump reimbursed his lawyer, all expenses, but spent it under the provision of legal services after the elections in the secret first person began to share and the lawyer cowin himself, who melted trump and the side of daenerys herself, who, with her radiant smile, remembered everything in great detail. which of these orange mushrooms most reminds you of the chief of the united states armed forces. can you lift it up so i can look at it from the right angle? but this week it turned out that the size of both the escort and themis from the criminal court does not matter, and those, in general, pranks and adult actresses that are usual for the former presiden

trump for far too long, perhaps, in your own mind. but you know, it seems to me that trying to put it on he was worried melania would find out doesn't reallys just reading this gq article, donald trump was going after everything moving and breathing that was female at this lake tahoe golf tournament. he was trying to snatch up porn stars and playboy bunnies every time he turned around and didn't worry about melania at all >> well, here's the thing. whatever motivated him, whether he was worried about the wrath of melania or worried about blowing up his presidential campaign, they still falsified business records his motivation around that, to a certain extent, why he falsified the business records is irrelevant if he did it. his motivation could come from anywhere i think clearly what they're trying to do is uncouple it from the campaign finance violation, so the severity of the charges get lessened but here's the thing, i don't think he was just, even if it was solely about melania, and i do think he probably was worried about melania, but i don't think he was worried about her finding out. he was worried possibly about her dissolving the

cheating on his wives and i think he probably -- he probably was more afraid at that point of melania trump than he was of the electorate, so, he had a motivation to try to get this out of the way. i think the larger issue here is, what are we expecting to get out of this particular case? and i think all of the lawsuits targeting trump that are in play right now, his critics, i would include myself among them, hope that trump is brought to some sort of justice before 2024. i don't know that this case is going to satisfy anybody who is tired of donald trump spending years avoiding the rule of law i think there's a standard here in which he should be held to the same standards as everybody else the supreme court has said that already in his tax cases but i think in the larger sphere of things that are staring at him, that represent existential threats, i don't think this one is the tallest order i think it's important that alvin bragg see it through, i think it's important that trump be held accountable around the law, but i don't think the doj, i think, sees this particular case, as the need

. >> much less melania trump. >> got it. ever specifically tell you that donald trump does not know about this? >> yes. absolutely. he said that. >> he said that? >> that's what he said at the time. is it true? i don't know. >> [ inaudible question ]. >> but i had to force that into an answer. they were getting upset because they asked me a limited question based on one of these six e-mails and i would volunteer information i thought the grand jury needed to hear. >> are you being asked to come back? >> i don't think so. i think this is it. we were there from maybe 2:15 to what, about 4:50? >> yeah. >> thank you. >> i have a statement here which i'll hand out to whoever wants it. >> thank you. >> okay? >> we've been listening to a man who says he was advising michael cohen but now can speak freely because he says michael cohen waived any attorney-client privilege. that man is bob costello. we're going to break down what he just said. i've got to tell you, this was another extraordinary turn in what is an extraordinary case i

trump's wife melania had just given birth to the couple son of humans earlier, so she stayed home and. daniels claims that trump invited her, we only knew as a porn star he had just met, to her hotel penthouse where he greeted her in black silk pajamas. that is what trump was wearing. then she claims he promised her that he could get her on his reality tv show the apprentice. and then, this up together. after that, trump reportedly called daniels occasionally from a blocked number, referring to as honey bunch when he did. she says they met up two more times. once at the launch party for trump vodka, and another timeout beverly hills hotel where daniels claimed trump again invited her up to his room, but when she got there, they just watched shark week on tv. and this whole story has always been juicy, but originally it was tabloids truthfully, not new york times juicy. the first time stormy daniels tried to sell the story was in 2011. she was upset the tang trump promised together on the prentiss never came true in trump was just thinking of the idea he might run for president. at the

trump was married to melania by then. daniels was 27 years old at the time, and trump was 60. there had been whispers of the affair for a while. remember, trump was a real estate mogul and tabloid darling back then. but what was once gossipy tea became a problem, a huge problem, when trump the apprentice star became trump the american president. in 2018, the "wall street journal" reported that longtime trump fixer michael cohen had arranged a $130,000 payment before the 2016 election as part of an agreement that precluded daniels from publicly discussing her sexual encounters with trump. hush payoffs were also used to silence former playboy model karen mcdougal, another one of trump's alleged miserouses. is it illegal to pay off an ex-girlfriend? does it mean you cannot be president? no, of course not. but daniels was paid during trump's presidential run. and just one month before election day. making the payments a campaign finance violation. which of course was a big problem too for michael cohen. according to the journal's sources, it was he who arranged the payment to dani

instead, these advisers would have trump argue that the payments were entirely about preventing conflict with his wife, melania. we know that was something that is on the table back in the day, trump did not want to pursue it because basically melania was very angry at him, and would've been an awkward conversation in their marriage. do you think that's a viable defense here? >> no, i think if you believe that to be true, it's not a valid legal defense. that's because both things can be true at the same time. perhaps, that was his overall writing motive, to keep this information from his wife. but if there was a concealing of campaign expenditures, that's a crime, regardless of why he did it. whether it's to protect his wife or protect himself from the wrath of his wife, if he failed to disclose a campaign expenditure, that can be the underlying crime. that neil was speaking of, that can turn on mr. meter into a felony. it's sort of like, when someone accepted a bribe to vote in favor of a contract on the city council, or something like that, i was gonna vote for anything, but it is good. but i didn't accept a

after access hollywood, i'm convinced that jurors will not believe donald trump's explanation that he was worried about melania. but if the juries are not convinced of that the political motivation was totally lacking zero. then donald trump will be acquitted and let me remind everyone donald trump is innocent after the indictment until a jury right to be guilty , so presumption of innocence still rewards anybody beyond a reasonable doubt that jury is going to have to decide when donald trump says i had no political motivation is he to be believed? one final point, lenny stormy, daniels first told her account in touch magazine in 2011. associated press reported that michael cohen sent an email to the general counsel. they're threatening them that trump would pursue legal action if it was printed in the washington post reported that cohen tried to stop the story by threatening stormy daniels agent. here's what we know that story was never printed in 2011. he wasn't a candidate. then he was willing to go to the ends of the earth to not have it. come out. does that hurt your case? it depends on whether a jury is

stephanie clifford, alleged in a 60 minutes interview that she'd had an affair with trump in 2006 just months after his wife melaniaad given birth to their son, baron. did you mention his wife or child at all in this? i asked , and he brushed it aside. said oh, yeah, yeah. you know, don't worry about that. we don't even we have separate rooms and stuff. it was a payment. trump initially said he knew nothing about. former president's one time fixer and lawyer, testified that he made the payment to daniel's at trump's direction to silence her before the election. trump's legal team now acknowledges the payment but says trump was trying to protect his family, not his campaign. trump maintains he didn't have an affair with daniels and that he did nothing wrong. the heart of this case is this $130,000 in hush money payments made to stormy daniels before the 2016 election, and actually hush money came in standing alone. are not illegal, but what is illegal is falsifying business records. from the beginning. it's been one witch hunt and phony investigation after another. tonight the former president now running for reelec

donald trump is out there saying, he did not want melania to, know but i would argue i don't think shep organization. so, why did they structure the payments, there were 11 different payments, why did they structure them overtime if they weren't trying to hide it? what was going on two weeks later? he was elected. it was the election. so i think you can make a very strong argument that this was for the purpose of committing a crime. it could be one of several crimes. >> he wasn't just taking a nap on the couch. last question for you, in terms of why the feds did not pursue it when it was in their hand, you, know we -- bill barr the attorney general at the, time but merrick garland is now the a.g.. do you have it thought about why this administration, why this department of justice did not -- you know fully pursue the hush money case? >> well at the time that michael cohen pled guilty in 20, 18 they talk about individual one, the justice department then that was bill barr justice department, they found that individual one who is donald trump actually participated in this. he was preside

moreover, ten years ago, before the 2016 elections , trump was afraid, and the anger of his wife melanianed in the midst of a scandal. she moved out for a few days from the white house to a washington hotel, and in 2018, instead of davos, she and her husband flew alone to a maralago. trump supporters are on guard there now, commander-in-chief. we 'll cover you. we will never give up. the truth is that trump is now the most popular republican politician in america. biden's potential rival in the 2024 election if the us democratic party is allowed to remove the leaders of donald trump's presidential race, the main threat to their power, with the help of a fake criminal case. where the end will take us voters will never again determine the results of our elections in the us we don't raid the homes of our presidents and we don't pursue a political position. it happens in third world countries and we will become one of them if this happens, that is, america will become even more like ukraine, there has long been in the order of things, who does not remember. yulia tymoshenko in kiev, too, bec

[ laughter and applause ] well, that's -- get him out, get him out of here. thank you very much. guess we'll see what happens. well, some news from overseas. turkey is planning to accept finland's bid to join nato, but they're rejecting sweden's. yeah, it's a pretty harsh snub. in fact, sweden just released a a statement about it and first sweden said, "honestly it's pretty fyorged up. picking one and not the other? this is kinda bulskjippt that happens in middle skuulpp. sweden went on to say, "you think this is a djooke? well newsflurmish, pal, it's nyort. let's settle this gentlemaansk. i challenge yuuell to a a duuell."

motivation by donald trump whe he directed michael cohen to pay $130,000 if donald trump says no it was only about melaniaohen and lots of evidence o evidence i've seen with my own eyes documented evidence it ha a political motivation at th very end of the campaign not t have stormy daniels be reveale and he has got to convince a jury that he had no politica motivation any significant motivation he is guilty so i still think and ask what is th problem that everyone is seein other than let's let a jur decide what or the he tells th truth our experience to date i that those people have seen hi lie and now it is up to 12 people in new york to the sock is he telling the truth. >> i'm not knocking michae cohen's credibility, but let's talk about what he's in fo here donald trump and his team an his allies are relentlessl attacking michael cohen. it was not that long ago tha watts of people in the media the included, went after michael cohen. he is now, potentially, goin to face seriou cross-examination. are you ready for that >> not only ready, but i'v been in the room and thi prosecutor team, as michae cohen

he's absolutely spinning out because he knows it's melania's birthday next month and she might finally get her wish. if trump does get indicted tomorrow, the secret service would bring him to the manhattan district attorney's office for a mugshot and fingerprints. assuming they can find an inkpad small enough for his fingers. maybe they'll use the tip of a sharpie. just tap it. some trump supporters online have been talking about creating what they call a "patriot moat" to surround him and prevent the police from taking him in. which is genius. and as all this is happening, republicans in the house of representatives are gathered in orlando for their annual "issues" retreat. they've definitely got issues! to retreat from all the usual low lives which are screaming witch hunt about this. jim jordan, matt gaetz, and speaker kevin mccarthy, who, at one time kevin mccarthy blasted trump over january 6th. now he sees things differently. >> i don't think people should protest this, no. and i think president trump, if you talk to him, he doesn't elieve that either. doesn't >> jimmy: wait, what? >> i think the thing

trump is a famous guy. he did want to embarrass melania.argument is, even as a mixed motive, he is still liable. >> one thing that's interestin to me about that now get and i think they have made similar arguments, they did on ari's show, is that for all th bravado, trump says, if yo indict me, it will only make m stronger and as ridiculous - they do not want to be indicted it's very clear that they ar working very hard to try t wait the da office and to avoi an indictment. >> yes 100% they are freaked out about the chance of this happening i cannot tell you the anxiet that has been going through th trump legal team their senior advisers -- and on the kind of legal sid as well, they really don't wan to see trump indicted and as you say, there's a lot o bravado. they think it will help th campaign it will boost donations. but at the end of the day, the fear indictment. >> part of that i think has to be the fact that the understand that they are now playing in a whole set o different rules than there use to playing with. they used to zavala.

story of her affair with trump a decade earlier she alleges that she met trump at a golf tournament in 2006 four months after melania trum gave birth to their son baron. later michael cohen pleade guilty to eight criminal charges including campaign finance violations and bag fraud. he told the court, as he tol congress later, who was really behind it all. >> i pled guilty in federa court to felonies for th benefit of, at the direction of, and in coordination with individual number one. and for the record, individual number one is president donald j trump. >> michael cohen was sentenced to three years for his crimes. he spent more than a year in federal prison and a year and half in home confinement after the outbreak of covid. but at least up until now th person who cohen says directed him, the person who signs th check that we all saw, has not been punished now of course at the time this is all happening back into 2018, donald trump was a sitting president th united states. the department of justice is a long-standing rule that sitting president cannot b indicted, which, i think, is fine, reasonable on its own, mak

told by a number of sources who have spoke to trump in the last 24 hours that his demeanor has been relatively controlled. that he went to dinner with melania in front of guests and greeted them at mar-a-lago last night that he met with advisers and as we reported last night, several members of trump's team and the former president himself did feel blindsided by the timing of this indictment. they had spent weeks on edge getting ready for this, but they had seen the media reports saying that they grand jury was likely not to hear trump's case before they went on hiatus, so they thought they had some time. and in fact, some advisers actually believe that perhaps d a brag was considering not bringing charges, but obviously that was wasn't the case. so what you're expected to see now is surrogates rolling out. the trump team tells me that they're putting out people on the airwaves doing podcasts, social media blasting out this message in support of the former president defending him, and they are certainly keeping track of who is defending the former president at this time, don alright in washington, christian homes, christian thank you so muc
