trump was beside his lawyer, todd blanche. we heard from both of them. we heard prosecutors who once again defended their case, which has come under a lot of scrutiny. they also reminded folks that trump, throughout this case, has attacked the integrity of the judicial system, tried to undermine it in the view of the public. so we heard a lot of things that we've heard from these folks throughout the course of this case. the one real surprise, i think, actually came from judge juan merchan, where he kind of talked about how he views this case now that trump has been reelected. let's take a listen to what he said. >> ordinary citizens do not receive those legal protections. it is the office of the president that bestows those far reaching protections to the office holder. and it was the citizenry of this nation that recently decided that you should once again receive the benefits of those protections, which include, among other things, the supremacy clause and presidential immunity. >> so here, judge juan merchan talking about how now that trump is presid

but right now, todd blanche who is set to be the deputy attorney general at doj, the number 2 spot, he is at the appellate court in the state of new york and he is arguing that judge merchan's rejection of president trump's immunity arguments was wrong. and as such, he wants to continue to appeal that and also pause the sentencing date as he appeals that immunity argument. >> harris: we got to be super, super quick here. does trump ever reach a point where this is not coming at him once he takes office? >> well, it really depends what happens in the business records case. you know, if he is successful on his appeal, that -- he could eventually be vindicated. but given that he's somewhat at the start of that appeals process, you know, we're still looking at some time going forward. >> harris: kerri, great to pet t your perspective on the things. back to the couch, the top-line thoughts. >> you heard it mentioned by the president today, and the filing by garland, and we learned that before january 10th, garland would make the decision and it was kneecapped by the judge's order, and i cou
