Video: Legal Analyst: Expect a ‘Tug of War Over Michael Cohen’ in Trump Trial Opening Statements
I wish they’d stop referring to this trial as a “hush money” case, because at its heart it’s really about election interference. Stormy Daniels was paid off to suppress damaging information at a critical point in Trump’s campaign for president. The same goes for the “catch and kill” deals Trump made with David Pecker and the National Enquirer.
If he weren’t running for president, Trump would not have cared if any of this stuff became public.
Fmr. Sr. Member of Mueller Probe Andrew Weissmann and MSNBC Legal Analyst Mary McCord join The Weekend to discuss what to expect during opening statements of Trump’s hush-money trial and who the key witnesses may be.
