is michael cohen a liar, could you do a night at rikers island? why did you pay michael cohen?t the jury. each time, nothing from trump. it is clear to see why. this is the first time judge juan merchan has vocalized that the threat of jail to trump. if he put it out loud in open court and if the prosecutors brought another alleged violation to his bench and he heard it, he found another violation, he threw down the gauntlet. if he doesn't throw trump in jail, he would look entirely like a paper tiger and trump got that message and it was evident in the press conferences during the proceedings and after the proceedings of the day. >> andrew, when we hear jail, we are all thinking rikers island, sending a former president to rikers island with a secret service detail, we could hear and what the judge said from the bench that he is concerned with the things i have wondered about, which is how does the secret service do this? how do the local officials handle it, how do they interact, how does it work? in real, practical terms, what are the options that the judge has that could in

. >> andrew, when we hear jail, we are all thinking rikers island and sending a former president to rikerssland with his secret service detail. we could hear in what the judge that from the bench that he is concerned with the things i've wondered about, which is how does the secret service do this? how do the local officials handle it? how do they interact? how does it work? in real, practical terms, what are the options the judge has that could involve some measure of incarceration without necessarily it be in rikers island? >> leaving aside that he just says you know what, i can consider this later. i can decide what sentence to impose later. if there is a conviction i can decide how it relates to the sentence i imposed on the criminal content. i can actually give the symptoms afterward but let's say he wants to do something right now, because he really wants to send a message now to stop. >> can you just go back a second that? so, he could make an announcement in court to say there is going to be a sentence of incarceration, which i'm going to decide later? >> yes. he could say i am goi

he's going to rikers island who ultimately, i mean, if that was actually if he was ordered by the judge to be jailed, who has the ultimate say on where he goes? >> is it the judge is like the mayor or the governor know that's the judge. i mean this is a judge. my shines courtroom. and this is the very message that judge merchan is trying to reinforce, which is i'm in charge in this courtroom. there's a universe out there where the president of the united states, a former president, may have influenced the secret service is very important but i rule this courtroom and he views trump as someone who is challenging that. so if he sentenced him to sit jail and i spoke to frank dwyer, the spokesman for the new york city department of corrections, and said trump on rikers island, how does that work? and he said, and i quote the department will find appropriate housing unclothed that's a difficult scenario because corrections officers in a place that is often and overcrowded, often understaffed, they're unarmed, which is how it works inside a jail. the secret service would probably require a se

listen to the mayor. >> our amazing commissioner is prepared for whatever comes on rikers island.she will be prepared to manage the situation as you see what's happening with harvey weinstein. we have to adjust particularly around law enforcement, whatever comes our way but we don't deal with a hypothetical. ashley: see them smiling away at the desk? when asked if he already had discussions with the corrections department about trump's situation, adams said yes we have. stuart: the prosecutor who led the questioning of stormy daniels has a connection to biden and the democrats. what is the connection? ashley: records show the prosecutor donated to president biden's campaign and a number of other democrat politicians and organizations over the years. according to foxnews, she donated 5 under dollars to biden's presidential campaign in 2020, more than $900 to act, an online fundraising platform for democrat candidates, that presses organizations and nonprofits as republicans continue to claim the case against trump is purely political. house republican conference chair elyse stefani

it's also not a surprise to me that wouldn't be at rikers island.hat wouldn't be an appropriate place, i think, to put a former president and his security detail through the united states secret service. it's generally understood among people covering the trial that if that time were to come to pass, there is a holding facility adjacent to the courthouse and that would probably be the place that former president trump would be do whatever incarceral penalty is appropriate. when and if that time comes, again. he could have come close to dancing on that edge this morning. he made a post about who the next witness was without naming her and said that the notice that his team had been given had been unfair and yet that post came down almost as quickly as it went up. when i'm sure people around donald trump notified him, hey, the next violation, you've already been warned where you're going. so despite the fact that for political purposes donald trump is definitely tempting judge merchan, i think it's also understood given how hard his lawyers are workin

>> our amazing commissioner is prepared for whatever comes on rikers island. we don't want to do a hypothetical but we have professionals at the ready. >> the new york mayor without fanning the flames says they are ready for whatever the judge decides and you can bet trump's lawyers are listening. >> that's it for us did "the last word" is next. >>> the excitement and anticipation in the room hit a new high. 10:32 a.m. she entered wearing all black as if on her way to a funeral with a loosefitting, plain black clothing dripping from her shoulders to her toes suggesting the modesty of a nun. the makeup was minimal, the way she and the other moms in her neighborhood might look while shopping at the local grocery store and long blonde hair, pulled up with a clip at the back of her head. the way it might be in a utilitarian way while she's doing dishes or checking one of the horseshoes are her horse. she later spoke up so proudly paid when she walked by him? her face had the same expressionless, somber look that all the jurors always have when they walk by him, lo

in prison and that is because when you spend a year in prison in new york or under you serve in rikers islandntasia we stop playing out when trump was in office. remember kathy griffin with a decapitated head or the rapper shooting company videos, but whatever it isn't let me make a 1 point. i doubt the verdict is the only reason joy behar is leaking but i will leave it to the urologist to figure that out. i'm more stand that cloudy costing didn't call for the death penalty. but have you ever seen such jubilation? congressman bowman was literally dancing after the verdict. look at this guy. can you believe it? >> they have remember when they are was try to pretend this is a sombre moment for america? this is a sombre proceeding and we are respecting all the norms. i've never seen cactuses malicious. but what you expect? >> it looks like martha graham. >> joe biden wasn't he asked about being responsible for the prosecution of trump when he was kind of that we are brand. >> that smile was so weird. when i saw that i thought i seen that smile before. but where. but then i thought it reminded me

a week after being taken to new york city hospital, the former movie producer is being held at rikers island as he awaits a retrial in his rape case. a spokesperson says correction officials are monitoring weinstein's health. he was taken to the hospital two days after new york's highest court overturned his 2020 conviction. prosecutors hope to retry him in september. >> last september, noelia voight said she was completely at peace after being crowned miss usa. eight months later, she is giving up her crown, citing a situation that may be tougher than any she's faced on stage. here's abc's lionel moise. >> miss usa 2023 is this morning a shocking announcement from miss usa? >> noelia voight telling the world she is giving up her crown to focus on her mental health. utah voight, who won the pageant in september, posting on instagram in life, i strongly value the importance of making decisions that feel best for you and your mental health. >> sadly, i have made the very tough decision to resign from the title of miss usa 2023, the caption of the post going on to say i realize this may come as

if that was to happen at rikers island, a spokesperson telling nbc news that they will find the, quote, appropriate housing for him there. he could be in a situation potentially where a former president is in a jail cell in one of the country's most famous jail facilities off the runways of la guardia airport sitting in there with secret service. how this will all play out? time will tell, lester. for now, he will maintain, even though he has been found guilty, that secret service protection. >> tom winter, thank you. >>> in 60 seconds, his story and michael presidential historian michael beschloss on this moment, and what lessons from our past apply as the country moves forward. symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling,

and so let me just show everyone a map of rikers island. and on this we have pinpointed the specific building, the west building so this appears to be the exterior of the building that we're going to show. and i know that you think this may be the specific facility on rikers where trump could end up if the judge decides to put him in jail. tell me about it. >> well, first of all, it's informed speculation on my part, but i do think that it is well suited to this purpose. it was built in the 19 as the contagious disease unit. it's series of free-standing building things with several cells inside each one the cells are all air condition and completely self-contained. so inside each cell there's a shower, there's a commode and wash basin. and in addition, there's an empty room in front of each cell where the person is cited can be observed for safekeeping and well-being. and because each unit is self-contained, you could put one person in that building and let the secret service have the rest of the building to put in whatever communications e

because allen weisselberg is in rikers island. he's in jail.nd so they the judge said it would be helpful to me if you brought them in and we just asked them is you're going to start the fifth or is he going its requests? >> so care first of all, it was interesting to hear the judge basically say, hey, be great for me. so why don't the prosecution neither the prosecution nor the defense wants him anywhere near this courthouse. so i'd love to know the answer to that too, because allen weisselberg has been all over this trial the jury is going to notice that the jury is going to notice he's not here and he should testify for somebody. >> right. if he's not coming in for the prosecution, they're going to know why, but then they're going to wonder, why is he not testifying on behalf of donald trump when i was a prosecutor, i used to love, frankly, when my witnesses were incarcerated because i knew where to find them. i am i could have control over for them. i can make sure they could come to court, so there's no reason just because he's incarcerate

he was now at rikers island.nd michael cohen says it was typical for everyone to discuss financial matters with weisselberg because he was the chief financial officer and it's also because mr. trump directed me to speak to mr. weisselberg. did allen weisselberg report directly to donald trump and the answer is yes, but from a defense point of view, is it a leak to say that necessarily or is it common sense to say necessarily that weisselberg and trump were essentially one in the same. the right hand knew what the left hand was doing. >> there's two ways to see that ark. one, you've got to keep trump involved from a prosecutor's perspective. from a defense perspective, yeah, he's going to be speaking to the cfo about financial transactions but he's going to rely upon the advice of the cfo from his defense team. that's where they're going to go with that front, which is why this recording, the reason in my mind why the recording matters so much to the prosecutors is because cohen says we want to make this transacti

next president of the united states could be conducting white house business as it were from riker's island. and despite the number of charges here, 54, the jewelry wasted no time in coming to a verdict today. that's right the, let's remember that a lot of the charges for multiple counts of the same offense. so the falsification of business records, which becomes a felony because he was attempting to falsify those business records, welcoming another crime which were campaign finance violations. they all have the same structure. and so once the jury believed to the testimony, for example, of michael cohen and the store mcdaniels and just believe the defenses version of a balance of them. they were really just applying the law to the facts and colleagues as they saw it. and this was the inevitable result. a trump has come out fighting though hasn't the says it's a rigs trial and this great somebody. what does this mean for his presumptive campaign for the white task will list in bold and his support is as well. we know that about a quarter of the american voting public actually believe that t

defendant who willfully violated an order from the judge 10 times, they would be sitting on a cell on rikers island. he is not. after the hearing, we heard testimony from a man named jeffrey mcconney. a long time comptroller of the trump organization, serving under the now incarcerated chief financial officer allen weisselberg. while the testimony may not have been quite as dramatic as some we have seen in recent days, it cut to the heart of what the case is about. the legal case. donald trump is not on trial for allegedly having an affair with a pornography store. he is on trial for falsifying business records to cover up the $130,000 in hush money he paid her in order to prevent the news from getting out to the public in the weeks before an election. mcconney later how they happen. the biggest question the defense raised in the cases, if michael cohen paid stormy daniels 130 grand to cover up the affair with trump, why was cohen reimbursed $400,000 in return? thanks to financial documents presented as evidence today, we learned how that came to be the case. a quick word of advice would be felons,

no, literally, it is a no- brainer, because let's remember why allen weisselberg is at rikers island cause in the last trial he testified he was accused of lying on the stand, the civil fraud trial in which he is also a defendant and has been held liable. the d.a.s office prosecuted him for that. he pled to attend is now serving a sentence for perjuring himself and literally the second to last manhattan trial donald trump was involved in. knowing that history and knowing that he very narrowly escaped a similar accusation in the trump organization trial, where he also already pled out and testified. and therefore, the only thing you could do is subpoena him and then see what he says and you don't want to take that chance because you have seen the guy liable for. there were representatives of the d.a.s office in the civil fraud trial. they were very noticeable to people who came to watch michael cohen for example. i have no doubt they were also present when allen weisselberg was there. >> the lawyers argued for the judges benefit today. he wanted to hear points of view about what should

eric adams now says rikers island is ready and willing to receive the former president of our country's a disgusting abuse of power from a judge and state prosecutors and everybody else in the biden orbit using our legal system to destroy their political rivals. mark my words no republican is safe in the state of new york if you are not a good little democrat they will throw you in jail. we have good news to share though as president trumps classified documents case also known as of the boxes hopes was postponed indefinitely roof reaction is a trump legal spokesperson with us. thank you for joining us. my understanding is stormy didn't do well in cross-examination her personality change dramatically, her demeanor was dramatically different it was clear she was coached by the prosecution in this case admitted she hates trump wants him in jail and admitted that she didn't know if she would pay the money she owes donald trump for legal fees and admitted to tweeting crude remarks about donald trump which are just touching the surface. your reaction from being in the courtroom? >> i was in

he's currently at riker's island because he lied for trump. >> cohen has lied and perjured himself andime in prison. the prosecution is calling him. he's a star witness. hope hicks who was not exactly anti-trump when she testified, yet was able to clarify a lot of things. why would you not have that as a prosecutor? >> he's a hostile witness for prosecutors. he's not going to help the state. hope hicks was helpful to the state. michael cohen has lied in the past, but came clean. the reason he lied in the past was to protect trump. weisselberg is a loyalist to his grave. he'll lie on the stand. he'll do nothing but hurt the state's case and they don't need him. >> vaughn, meanwhile, how is inside the courtroom today? there are a lot of invoices and emails being shown this morning. >> reporter: right. there's a lot of documents they are using here in front of this jury. again, for these jurors here they're listening to somebody who is a 35-year employee of donald trump who is evering after just leaving his position at the trump organization. as part of the civil fraud, he was found liabl

if the president trump is in chains going to rikers island would you want to buy u.s.rt-term risk for the economy that is the democrats are serious with this law fare. if they succeed imagine we become a banana republic the moment we take had him to rikers. i can't imagine what happens to trashily markets that day. maria: we're losing the country. it's not enough to set up a committee called the weaponization of federal government. that's not doing it for anybody. we want to hear more from you, we want to hear action, we want to know what the heck is going on in this new york trial where nobody can seem to come up with a crime. >> well, i'll tell you what i'm specifically doing. i serve on these committees, i don't chair th necessarily but i serve on them. we introduced and we passed out of the judiciary committee the no political prosecutions act which would actually inhibit state prosecutors from being able to go after presidents, former presidents like they are. it would remove these vein cruise in the state of new york, atlanta, elsewhere to a federal court should

bus and sending him to rikers island. i think it's important to know? wear a jumpsuit? >> it would depend how long he was there. >> and he would have secret service within. i should not laugh. >> he would have secret service. prosecutors have not asked for that as a penalty because they understand that they themselves could be as two of her recommendation, and that puts them in a difficult position of, do we want to ask for what we would for any other defendant? do we want to ask you something later? how will that make us look. there's a calculation with that as well. everyone is trying to answer the question which is once we get to the point where jail is involved, what does that mean? i think it starts in the back in that small room where he would sit for a few hours and it would escalate from there with increased amount of time if we get to the point, if we ever get to the point, that he were sent to rikers. >> if you were judge merchan or alvin bragg or alvin bragg's team, would you be afraid if he comes for you if he wins? >> i think the calculatio

there's a conspiracy put in jail to put behind bars in a president trump is in chains going to rikers islandnt to buy the u.s. treasury the next day and the thing i'm worried about short-term rates for the economy the democrats are serious about the lawsuit and if they succeed imagine we become a banana republic the moment they take them to rikers and i can imagine what happens to treasury market sunday. maria: is not an issue, what do you think. >> is an issue but this much of an issue the world needs are get at the moment and that's a reflection the other central banks are doing more ridiculous true chips of the currency than we are. they still need our treasuries. i like what he saying we have to worry for decades how some people would rather invest in india then china based on the rule of law that we understand a lot more if the rule of law from this country as a 80% there just with the progression of legal battles that trumpets had to deal with. at this point in time it might sound really weird and i want to see him in handcuffs just so people could see how ridiculous this looks in real

take a seat and just hang out there in rikers island. that tells a lot.understand and a criminal trial, the prosecution has the burden of proof. so donald trump's team will undoubtedly say, where is the person with the smoking gun, where is a financial advisor? where is the person connecting the accounting dogs? that in and of itself is reasonable doubt. >> trace: lassie deagle after michael cohen tomorrow or did he lead to something side because it's not a legal or you try to tear his testimony apart? >> it when you're in trial the thing you have to be careful of is trout psychosis, as trial lawyers sometimes we believe in our case because we have been preaching edged ourselves, sometimes for years. the issue in this case, you have to look at it as a fight, a rink by. you are in a title match. is a be a combination between sugar ray reynold and floyd mayweather, a death by 1000 cuts. at the end it will be some bombshells and mike tyson will be there to knock a witness out. speedy makes me want to go see the final! grade is he is always, thank you. >>> co

>> our amazing commissioner, she is prepared for whatever comes on rikers island.tty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation. as you see what is happening with harvey weinstein. we will adjust, and in this business particularly around law enforcement we have to adjust to whatever comes our way we do not want to do with a hypothetical but everyone is being professional. >> what does that have to do with? i didn't get that. >> steve: it is hard to understand, but basically he was saying nothing. nothing to say. they are just sort of mumbling around. i would like to highlight and emphasize something that you stated earlier, comparison with clinton is really important, because this is a political matter and it is clearly political, it is as if they are even embarrassed because even if you take everything they are saying about then a trunk, what clinton was accused of is far, far worse much worse and more of it. they are not in paris but just the other week they had been headlining the -- >> harris: he doesn't have a choice. >> they read him out

the one person who could potentially corroborate everything that cohen is saying is sitting in rikers island testify in this case to the best of our knowledge. so all you got with the prosecution is hanging its case on is cohen saying i got this money illegally those are fraudulent invoices and i didn't do anything to earn the money. >> right. and would anyone who is intellectually honest and reasonable ever rely on upon what he is saying? there is no one who is good enough. some say i could tell and some is telling the truth or not. know you can't. not with an admitted perjurer and a someone has committed fraud who is smart and i use air quotes when i call him "smart" you can't tell. you must have corroboration. trump probably being involved may be involved, deaf and hundred% possibly involved is not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. so if the defense attorneys handle this appropriately, all they have to do is say there is reasonable doubt. they could not corroborate what he is alleging. >> sandra: we are getting a new email here. trying to digest with this one has for us. highlighted by our

criminal defendants who report for trials every day in that same courthouse while living in jail, and rikers island, across the water from the airport. so, donald trump has never been closer to spending a night in jail then he is right now. the most important testimony today was given by the man who said, "i have a blockbuster trump story." keith davidson was trump's first lawyer. it was in his role as karen mcdougal's first lawyer that he texted the editor of the national enquirer, dylan howard, "i have a blockbuster trump story." the prosecutor, who has possession of those text messages, asked the witness to read the text that he sent to dylan howard. "i had a blockbuster trump story. what did you mean by that? sort of an entrie or teaser to dylan to let him know that i had, perhaps, an opportunity for him. and what was the, generally's eking, and certainly without revealing client confidences, what was the opportunity about which you were contacting him? regarding the interaction between karen mcdougal and donald trump. what did mr. howard say, if anything, in response? talk first thing. i will
