Trump on trial: New York vs. Donald Trump Day 20 Highlights

- The defense rested its case in Donald Trump's hush money trial - and Trump himself chose not to take the stand in his own defense, despite previously saying he wanted to testify. The defense’s key witness, Robert Costello, returned to the stand for a cross-examination from the prosecution that both corroborated Michael Cohen’s testimony and showed the mob-like tactics between Trump and his employees during the height of the Stormy Daniels controversy.

capone went to prison on tax evasion charges
As will Judas Trump and may he suffer the same fate in the end!
Trump is in arrears for $ 100,000’000 of taxes owed the US government. Can we put him in Prison for that?!? 😅
Whilst rapidly dying from the ravages of tertiary syphilis, the body consumes itself, leaving behind gaping, dripping wounds.
@@ardentynekent2099 Sounds like an improvement for Judas Trump!
Who could credibly show their face and stand behind that LIAR?
trump 20-24 years in jail FDT
How many people need to go to jail before you believe that just maybe your leader is guilty😅😅😅
They know he’s guilty they just don’t care they are so brainwashed they just want to stick it to someone they don’t care who, even if it’s them.
Well, trump is not a leader, let alone mine!! Trump is for putin and Russia, not America! You really should try to think and liston to normal people, like us Dems.
What is guilty of? Not a single conviction. They have NOTHING, this is a CLOWN SHOW
not sure. the mini me folk took T's message and the leftover J6 types were theatening lives today.
MSNBC news team and their legal consultants..incredible. Most informative and helping viewers have a better understanding of procedures and incredible insights. Ty
"incredible"? and you claim Trump supporters are "brain washed" and are "cult like"?! Hilarious! Look yourself in the mirror bobbie!
Agreed 👍 ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for telling the truth! FACTS MATTER
Blanche, etc., did a poor job of preparing Costello…. Trump always hires the “best people”. Major points for the prosecution!
Wow! Mob behavior? More like cult behavior! "You are loved?"
Sent by GOD?
@@sabrinal.tumlin-ward142 Hearing people say that makes me sick to my stomach on a new level.
Costello needs to be charged with *perjury* - he LIED UNDER OATH.
has Fanni Willis been charged with perjury yet? No of course not because this is a two tiered justice system in which Democrats can do anything they want without fear of any penalties what soever,
Habba and Costello, hilarious team
HEY !!! HABBA !!!
Cannon should be fired...its obvious what she is doing.
Corrupt or incompetent, she should be fired.
Michael Cohen is innocent thankfully he had the recorded information… he has paid and now stop calling him out!!!!
How old is she?? I think she's too young to be a real judge. Everyone and everything in trump world is fake. Except for the terrors he plans on bestowing on America! Vote Blue and save your family from dictator trump!!
Yes, some amendments are needed, that's why we vote!
Anyone trump appointed and/or hired loses all cred with me. They would never be in those positions if not for trump. None of them. That's why I love seeing MTG, Boebart, Gaetz holding his jock in hopes to be a VP.
In a normal world, this would never happen.
So many undeserving people getting high positions because of mr. pewpy pants.
Shouldn't Costello lose his law licence for working against Cohen while pretending to represent him?
For what actions specifically? Testifying under oath? Or further discrediting Cohen's already literally factually proven false testimony?
He wasn’t working against him, and he was released from any privilege. If you are interested in what he would have said had the prosecution not constantly objected, watch his testimony before congress.
@@Bill_Cosby717He admitted he lied & went to jail for it. Problem is he has proof of what he’s talking about so whether he’s credible or not the evidence & receipts speak for themselves.
@@kayrutledge1970 Did you not listen to the emails? He was trying to get Cohen to act as Trump wanted. That's not in Cohen's best interest.
He should. He wont. Costello said he was Cohen's attorney. But he was clearly not acting in "his clients" best interests by his own emails. Surely he will now get sanctioned and then say at his hearing he was NOT Cohen's attorney. Then get charged with perjury (at this trial) and end up in jail for lying under oath just like Cohen and did it for Trump just like Cohen. Irony.
He likes to talk too much
Now, the cat has his orange tongue.....Big orange man afraid to testify, but he acts so big and tough at his rallies, he knows those idiots will listen to him
I wonder what he’ll say about that at his rallies. Actually, I think we know. He’ll claim that the prosecution was “going to set a perjury trap!” 🫲😩🫱
Trump is looking pretty defeated at this time 😢
I get such joy from seeing his people walk away from his speeches in the middle of them. "Ooh, that's gotta hurt!" - Ash from Army of Darkness
They like literally had absolutely no defense against the charges
You sound illiterate.
@@kayrutledge1970 well maybe I am 🤔⁉️ However I am literate enough to know better than to vote for a lying criminal to preside in the highest office in the world ‼️🙏🏾 He's a 🤡 clown ‼️
@@kayrutledge1970 Well maybe 🤔 I am illiterate. However I am literate enough to know better than to vote for a lying criminal ‼️ Mr. Trump is a rotten person. A complete 🤡 clown ‼️
Wow !
The last time Trump moved that fast he was walking towards an all you can eat buffet !
🚼🦧 would say he's too wealthy to go to the meat buffet. His tax returns say he has less money than me. Somewhere somebody is mudding the water. And I believe these new revelations about how 🚼🦧 cheated insurance companies out of hundreds of millions, that water is quickly becomes clearer. His Chicago building was in such disrepair, instead of fixing it, he wrote it off. Then changed the ownership to a company he also owned and did the same thing _again!!!_
That's insurance fraud don. We'll just add it to your list. The more investigation, the more skeleton bones come flying out of closet's.
Or, to take credit for something he did not do.
...senior discount hours @ Cracker Barrel
At least he walks towards a buffet than a drug house like Biden and his son
Remember when Joe biden fell off his bike
A long weekend with free jurors... opens the door to unexpected outside influences. All trump needs is one juror to find doubt. This is really scary.
if that be the case then that juror needs to be removed and prosecuted asap.
One juror to have the courage to see the reality that both Daniels and Cohen have zero credibility due to their well documented history of being liars
Trump could say 3 contradictory things and MAGA would believe all 4 of them.
6 out of 4 MAGA's are deplorable and struggle with math!
My favorite Biden story is how his uncle was eaten by cannibals
@@angiejorah my favorite Trump story is the one he told 3 time, that his very own father was born in Germany.
@@angiejorah My second favorite story of trumps is one he told a dozen times about how he would testify in his criminal trial.
My third favorite story is the one he told that he didn't know stormy Daniels and never did anything with her, but a close forth is when he said he never met E. Jean Carroll, or the one when he said he barely knew Michael Cohen, or when he said that () Ovid would disappear in 15 days,
Costello stepped on a rake‼️
Just like sideshow Bob. Uuuurrrrrgggghhhhhh.
BOIIIIING!🥴😵💫😵
Thank you, I'm going to have that mental image in my head every time I hear Costello's name. 😂🤣
A rake stepped on Costello too.
Costello should be disbarred.
I have watched several panels with Costello...he has been gas lighting at every opportunity.
Der Trumpf goes down for even less than Al Capone! Priceless.
I'm glad Cohen's wife and family stood by him during this period.
And that recording he made. I moved into an office that had been occupied by a succession of attorneys. There were recordings, old files and transcripts, medical records, a whole box of sealed juvenile records, correspondence from other firms, receipts from private investigators, one I think the DA used too, all going back decades - all that confidential stuff. The cherry on top? A letter from Timothy McVeigh (crazy deluded nutter) from prison. Cancelled checks from a divorce case that clearly showed some shadiness connected with the business that years later was shut down (no surprise). They could have been inflating the cost of the vehicles they bought, with the line of credit from the bank, and selling for little or no profit to show. That reminds me of someone...
Everyone who is a decent person has their whole family behind them. Judas Trump has to pay people to "like" him. But secretly they are all like Tucker Carlson where they bend the knee and kiss but but then put a dagger in his back with his text messages!
Michael Cohen is 1000x better a person than Trump could ever be. He has turned his life around, Trump continues the same BS calling for retribution & revenge.
@@shihtzusrule9115was it you and your family it reminds you of?Or was it the crook Joe Biden and his drug addled son
I wonder if they'll visit him when he goes back to prison for larceny
The implicated Trump could have testified to clear himself no need for Costello who even made it worse.😅😅😅😅
The jury will see the constant objections from the prosecution and wonder what the prosecution is trying to hide. They also don’t even know the crime they are supposed to be convicting him of. We’ll all be laughing at you lose your mind next week when the jury doesn’t convict.
Chump Capon the unfunniest-ever squawky chicken joke.
its a kangaroo court , even Jesus and Buddha testifying for Trump's innocence wouldnt make a difference in this soviet like show trial.
When working for a liar you become a liar
😂 no case here your opinion is irrelevant 😂 go home sleepy joe
The BIDEN trail fails
Kathy, I got a ceasefire in Gaza!!! Just kidding 😂 I need votes 🗳 in Michigan 😂 🗳 Joe Biden
You must be talking about merchand.
...or a saint. A truth teller .
I know of I was innocent I'd be on that witness stand so fast.
The defence tanked their own case! Poor Todd Blanche is not getting paid. Lol
defence? Derp derp
How do you think they tanked the case? You really must have worms for a brain if you think there will be any conviction here. The prosecution doesn’t even state the crime he supposedly committed.
Blanche was never getting paid, he has to hope his retainer is enough
@kayrutledge1970 Hey Kay, Where did you hear that thing about the prosecution not telling anyone what the crimes are? I have been looking at legitimate news outlets, and I can't find it?
@@kayrutledge1970 They’ve said it dozens of times what the charges were. Everybody else knows already.
He always says he's going to testify, just like he always says he's got a great bill and he's gonna get it done right away. nothing
Why would he testify?
@kayrutledge1970 Apart from anything else, he said he would. Don't tell me he went back on his word...shock, horror! 😂
@@kayrutledge1970 why would he say he would testify?
@@Tcb0835 🤣🤣🤣 You sound so petty and immature.
@@EverythingCameFromNothing Saying you are willing to and then deciding there is no need to, is why. The case is dead. There is nothing to convict him of. I bet you can’t even name what is actually being charged with, you are just brainwashed into this “Get Trump at All Costs” cult.
Not really understanding your legal system but did Costello commit perjury???
Yeah, but it won't result in charges
@@bradgies1755 bugger. It seemed pretty blatant.
@@bradgies1755
Costello didn't lie.
Costello lied under oath !
@@Geneva8181
When? What lie?
The propaganda isn't working anymore.
Yes Trump’s lies aren’t working anymore.
Nicolle is so socially awkward. 😂
IM WHY.
I AM...MAYBE WELL CHAT.
😊
Why does Trump wear a squirrel on his head?
Don't let Vladimir Putin control you.
Costello is the mobster lawyer from central casting.
He was a New York prosecutor for 40 years...
I’m 😊proud
If I were the prosecution, I’d get a transcript of the defense’s opening statement (I typically do this in every case but definitely I would here) and use it to remind the jury of every promise the defense made about what they claimed they’d prove and then one by one I’d remind them of the utter failure to do any of it. Aside from attacking Cohen’s credibility, the defense presented no evidence whatsoever to challenge or refute any of the testimony by all the other witnesses or any of the documentary evidence. This was one of the worst defenses I’ve ever seen. Theres no reasonable alternative explanation for why Cohen would have paid Daniels, no challenge to Pecker’s and Hick’s testimony, and no evidence to explain the documents, including the checks,all signed by Trump. Even calling Cohen a liar is laughable given he was Trump’s guy and Costello hurt more than helped the defense and to me, he ended up demonstrating that the whole inner circle was corrupt. This is a slam dunk conviction case.
It is the end of the road trump. 😂😂😂
What meltdown will you have when the jury doesn’t convict.
that sketch artist just made his masterpiece that will be in museums.
Costello was trying to get the Judge to throw him out of court. Imagine what Trump would do with that course of events, if it happened?
Court Rule #1 Do not Mean Mug the judge.
I really think the trump people thought they would be able to bully the judge and the entire process. 😂
jeez
@@somkit9102 🤣🤣
He's NOT going to testify?!?!?!...?!?!...
One Race: The Human Race
Many Nationalities, Ethnicities..
Great move prosecutors the defence swallowed the hook line and sinker their witness secret trouble shooter confirmed what all the other witnesses gave
Yay Robert Costello 😅 Your testimony backfired! 😅😮
defense rested because they ran outta gas.
trump’s rump gas
They rested because they know they won. They don't need anymore evidence.
Hahaha Stormy all ready told the world Donny doesn’t have the lead in his pencil to testify
Composure = accountability
Attitude = guilt
Nicole Wagner, Ari Melber, Andrew Weissman, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, Lisa Rubin, Susan Craig, Michael Cohen, et al., and why not Robert Costello: You are all loved. We all love you (•‿•). Thank you !
Think it's Nicolle Wallace and Susanne Craig, maybe?
Texas Judge Stephanie Boyd for President. Her court and rulings show compassion with structure, something our country desperately needs on many levels. I trust her to bring a good, common sense moral and social philosophy back to government and to pick good advisors to direct policies commensurate with that philosophy.
Nice to listen to two informed individuals like Andrew Wiseman and Ari Melber discuss a case like this, because they both have a solid understanding of the law and are not just expressing emotional opinions. MSNBC has excellent reporting staff!
When you're too sketchy for Michael Cohen....
Mikey sketchy 🤠
Somebody was auditioning for the future possible AG position.... 😂
Excellent bringing valid and legal facts crucial to the verdict
Should give Trump 4 years prison time and 10 years with NO CELL PHONE!
Where ever he lands, no electronics and an ankle thingie. No visitors. Present when his attorneys arrive. Rump will try to charm and bribe, so the "guards" need to be vetted, then alternated and debriefed daily. This criminal is kicking a dent in our national budget!
Criminal Trial----- Trump could not take the 5th
Costello proved that Cohen was not lying. Another one bites the dust.
Another one bites the dust! 😅 🎉❤❤❤❤
I hope to hear Guilty on All 34 counts your honor.😊👍👏

Traitor, traitor, traitor! Go back to russia!
Agents get paid! Get waitress at hotel they met at to back up Castello that the man was out of it .. and still is.
Contempt of court by Robert Costello, Judge Merchan should have remanded him to jail! 😅
Oh! My, the trolls are busy today!
And and and he'd said
Merchan was Mexican
😀
Trump needs to be behind bars for life!
Oh no........Your mind is going to be blown when Trump is once again elected to be YOUR president in a few short months. Wait for it........
Should not Costello lose his license for breaches of confidentiality to his client Cohen?? Or Conflict of interest?
Go to jail and pay for your crimes like everyone else…No one is above the law…
So if jury convicts, then what? We need to pass a bill with no Secret Service for traitor trump.
This is so embarrassing for USA yet so much humor with all these characters.Cohen saw the light🎉 Stormy is so strong🥳🤯
President Trump needs protection from rabid left wingers
🤣🤣🤣You’ll be having such a meltdown next week.
😢rump won't do any time. First offense and ex president. It sucks but maybe probation and a fine. But that will be paused until the appeal. So much bs privilege..
@@p.galaxygo5153 First off, he’s a former president, not an ex-president- ya mindless twatwaffle. Second, there has been no crime identified, so there is nothing to convict.
@@kayrutledge1970 Oh?
If he is so innocent why wouldn't he testify and prove it before the jury?
because he's f.....d in the head and is constantly in survival mode. Cannot be trusted to be mature when necessary.
Defendant Trump is a one trick pony that adheres to one strategy alone, the "Cohn method"
~ Always attack, never defend because defense is weakness. Even when you lose you didn't.~
Trump's inadequacy is on full display when it is that time to defend.
Trump admires that 1930s German dude with the moustache, that Nazti bet everything on attack, defendant Trump did the same & it has always been that way with defendant Trump. ~ Attack at all cost as long as that cost is someone else under the bus.~
Narcissists cannot tell the truth.
Never a good idea to testify in tour own trial...EVER!! You kids should know that! But you're brainwashed to hate him and have chronic TDS so common sense has been removed from your young skulls full of mush...
He'd 100% incriminate himself. He would have to walk over the cadaver of his layers before
Your "whatever that means." Got me. 😂
...more like Lou Costello!

NOT GUILTY.
😊
Stop the STINK!! Vote wise vote smart vote Blue

Demokrauts are the stink.
lol. I find it hysterical how two different news outlets say complete different things from what actually happened.
Sounds like the Judge is the prosecutor!
So much better at 1.75x speed 😂
Stare down, side eye, roll eyes at the honorable judge are contempt behavior. 👍🏼
Witness demanding for question to be striked from the court record however is contempt behavior though.
What was contemptuous was a judge sustaining every objection made by the prosecution when the defense hadn’t even finished the question. The judge did not allow the witness to testify. He is a disgrace.
@@rahimmajid647 Contemptuous, I think.
Do u think Trumps lawyers feel that he is guilty but still need to provide a service to defend the best that can ?
Lock him up. Throw away the key!
Theres nothing SMART coming from the prosecution. This entire trial is the most pathetic thing ive ever seen. Im unemployed and had the unfortunate opportunity to watch it all
We’re you able to be inside the courtroom everyday? Would love to hear your take on the mistreatment of Costello.
You all throw out this blanket statements with nothing to back it up. What is pathetic about the trial? Specific details please; after all you’ve watched the whole thing right? Also don’t be lazy, apply for jobs. Biden’s economy is doing ok with jobs for all, even dishwasher and janitor. You don’t want those illegals taking your job do you?

😂😂😂😂 apparently you’re on the jury? They haven’t isn’t their judgment yet.
@@LiftUpNotDownSeems like most in the comments section are in the Jury claiming Trumps been guilty for years now.
100% guilty and he is being exposed in the court system finally
@@rhondaunger1228🤣🤣🤣 You’ll be melting down next week. Also, the case in Fulton County is dead, as well as the one in Florida.
@@kayrutledge1970 wrong, Donald Trump is guilty he will be charged in this one as well as the other two cases. The evidence is overwhelming the con man from Queens has played his last game. His mental illness has spread to 40% of idiots that follow him. The Congress members in the maggot Colt will be voted out and so will Donald Trump and he will be charged for his crimes. So the only one melting down will be Donald Trump.
I simply don’t understand why faux news and so many other people are still devoted to drump. Can anyone explain that to me. Please. I just don’t understand why, never have.
It's money money money, just like Don Judas Trump's theme song from The Apprentice. They are ALL doing it for the money. Faux news is owned by a Billionaire Australian who is literally stealing the money from weak minded Americans.
I believe that the best move that Trumps defense could have done would be to have their witness testimony stricken from the record... 😂🤣😅😆
Both jail
I don't.
Believe Donald Trump, I believe Michael 100%. He has all the witnesses if Donald Trump wanted to testify he would testify. But Donald Trump tells lies every single day since the 80s. I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
Miss Katie,
you give us the harsh realities.
and that's what I likes about you.
Don't insult foxes like that, Katie. 🤣
Can the prosecution in a criminal case get a change of venue?
Maybe a transfer to the HAGUE!!!

Exactly! The truth has since time began had a liberal bias. 😂
The FOX echo chamber worked overtime on Costello.
So many chump crimes popping up every day once _any_ investigation began on chump, I can't remember them all! Just during this 5 week trial _I know_ there were 2 more, but I'm already blanking on the one other than Chicago. Where he stole over a hundred million reporting his building there condemned twice under 2 different company names, and being paid twice. But what was the other one?

Unfortunately it's showing that reach specially Trump isn't equal in law
Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded obviously relevant evidence when offered by the defense, while including irrelevant evidence offered by the prosecution.
It's nice to dream even though that dream is built upon utter bullcrap. Nite Nite buttercup🤣
