11:02 pm
trump in lake tahoe hotel room she described it coming out of his hotel room bathroom to find trump on the bed and boxer shorts and a t-shirt. >> and then she was asked more and she gave all the details and she said i had my clothes and my shoes off. >> i move my brar. we were in the missionary position and this is the non graphic part and trump was clearly angry, scowling, and impatient tapping his attorney on the arm repeatedly, prompting her to object. >> and the judge was also uncomfortable, even himself objecting. >> at one point. >> and then when the jury was not in the room after lunch, judge merchan actually admonished to trump's team by saying he did not understand why they failed to object more. but shawn made it clear that trumps move for a mistrial after trump's attorney said daniel's a testimony would quote, inflame the jury was not appropriate at this time, as for the jury, they were listening intently their emotions not visible, but a lot of note-taking and people in various angles of the room we're describing furious note-taker in just incredible
11:03 pm
intensity from the jury today and the pace of the questioning was very fast. >> then when the cross-examination began, i'll tell you, wow, in the room that was at tense and angry tone, the defense attorney, who was female kept saying things to daniels in this tone, you made up the story, you hate him trump's attorney pointed to this tweet from 2022 that daniels had posted, quote, i'll never give that orange turkey dime now, daniel said, okay, sure, i must have said that and i did it in retaliation for what he said to me, referring to trump calling her a space and a sleaze bag which already had been adjudicated trump's attorney then shouted back, that's you making fun, you despise him and you call them names all the time. >> daniels responded yes, because he made funny to me first defense attorney replies. so one of you started it, but you both continue it. >> i mean, this was the sort of tone in the room, right? >> the pettiness, the smallness, but yet the heart of it this cross-examination a sign of what's to come on thursday, stormy daniels back on the stand cross will continue redirect re-cross for this crucial witness.
11:04 pm
>> polar read is out front live outside the new york courthouse to begin our coverage. >> and paula, this was by far the most compelling and dramatic de of testimony so far. >> yeah. erin is the most engaged. we have seen the defendant throughout this case, but just a moment ago, we received that transcript from today that we're build a previously unknown exchange between the judge and the defense attorneys where the judge told defense attorneys that he would not tolerate trump's behavior during daniels testimony, he accused trump, have audibly cursing and shaking his head, no error. and this is significant because this is not something that we have seen so far. the criminal case. though it was the kind of behavior that trump displayed in his civil litigation but judges were sean making it clear today, this is not something you'll tolerate in his courtroom. >> very, very engineered donald trump coming face-to-face with stormy daniels in court today as she took the stand to tell the jury about her alleged
11:05 pm
sexual encounter with the then businessman. >> prosecutors asked daniels to identify trump in the courtroom. she pointed towards him saying in the navy blue who jacket with trump, having no visible reaction after walking through how she got into the adult film industry, the prosecution quickly turned to daniels first introduction to trump at a 2006 golf tournament in lake tahoe. that meeting turned into a dinner invitation. she initially declined, but her public this has got her to reconsider what could possibly go wrong for his words to me, daniels were counted with a giggle, if nothing else, you'd get a great story. she described trump's hotel suite in detail saying that when she arrived, he was wearing satin pajamas. does mr. hafner know you stole his pajamas? she teased him, asked get him to change and he obliged daniel said trump asked her about the business aspects of her adult film directing and her possibly appearing on the apprentice and she briefly ask
11:06 pm
trump about his wife, millennia, who had recently given birth to their son, baron. we're calling trump said, we don't sleep in the same room. the statement causing trauma to shake his head and murmur to his attorneys when she later returned from a trip to the bathroom, daniels testified that trump was waiting for her on the bed wearing only boxers. i felt like the room spun in slow motion. daniel said, i thought, oh, my god, what did i misread to get here? she testified that the two had sex although trump did not initially asked her to keep the encounter quiet, she said, i told very few people that we actually had sex because i felt ashamed that i didn't stop it it was after trump began running for president. >> when you're star, they let you do it you can do anything and the infamous access hollywood tape came out that her then publicist said she should sell the story. >> my motivation wasn't money. >> it was to get the story out. she testified. but when she
11:07 pm
found out trump and michael cohen, we're interested in buying the story for $130,000. she told the court it will was the best thing that could have happened because then i'd be safe. and the story wouldn't come out. then in a searing cross-examination, trump's attorney, susan nechele, pushed daniels. am i correct that you hate president trump? yes. daniels replied, you want him to go to jail? nicholas asked, i want him to be held accountable. daniel said if he's found guilty, yes. daniels casual and relaxed demeanor changed as the defenses questions became more pointed, attacking her credibility and trying to establish daniels has always just been trying to make a profit you've been making money by claiming to have had sex with president trump for more than a decade nicholas asked that story has made you a lot of money, right? daniels responded, it's also cost me a lot of money. court is not in
11:08 pm
session tomorrow, but daniels week back on the stand thursday to continue that cross-examination, but or an oval all be watching for the next 72 hours is a trump can continue to abide by the gag order that prohibits them from attacking witnesses. >> in this case daniels clearly got under his skin today, but the judge has threatened him with possible jail time if he violates the order again. all right. paula, thank you very much joe jackson. >> all everyone's here. let me just start with you. so the great detail, the sat and pajamas see i mean, they wanted that because that gives you an image. you're looking at a guy who actually wore yellow tie today for say, isn't the one, the red one i think one other time with one another time. okay. so say we need to have our are in every but they also showed the prosecution that stormy daniels has in her cellphone, rhoad graphs his longtime assistant cell phone, and, you know, those of us who interacted with trump many, many over the years know that that's a crucial number and keith schiller, who she had entered as keith trump keith is
11:09 pm
an interesting one because that one, you would get if you had a certain level of contact because keith, this is personal body man. with him at all times. so the kind of interactions that she is alleging they had keith schiller would be a name that you might have in your cell phone? >> yes. so wow, wow, wow, wow. i'm sorry. i didn't mean to start young job has been so she is the elephant in the room. >> right? so you want to be descriptive because the devil's in the details, right? anyone can make an allegation as to an affair, but you i mean, you can argue as to whether they they went too far with regard to pulling out the details of what occurred and missionary et cetera. but the reality is, is that the more detailed you are, the harder it is to dispute the fact that something happened of the variety that she described. now, you can in cross-examinati on tattoo her. all you want with regard to credibility, with regard to hey, with regard to putting out tweets against him, which saying you don't want to pay the judgment
11:10 pm
against them, right? you don't have any intent and you called him this and you call the muttered and et cetera. but at the end of the day, were you wearing pajamas where you went boxers. was your hotel room three times the size of my home. >> all these things go to the notion that this affair is true. now the defense and attacking that, remember the essence of it. we're not talking about it, right? and a fair hair at the end of day, it's tonight the day whether it happened or didn't actually is not raul. >> that's not relevant, but understand are the boss that is mr. trump? has to go after that because he's denied denied, denied. and that's savages his credibility. so the attorneys have to attack are on whether the affair actually happened, riveting test. so you mentioned it was riveting and when you mentioned that hate, say so let me ask you about that. it trumps leuser, susan nechele, as we saw, are there she said, am i correct that you hate president trump stormy daniels replies yes. now, i was sitting in the room at that time. i was thinking, well, what else is she going to say is i mean, it was a genuine moment. the question is, does that hurt her or not with the jury?
11:11 pm
>> well, i look at it as how refreshing to see an honest witness. i think it why would she like donald trump at this point? she got on the stand. she said some things, actually the gutter in a bit of trouble. she wasn't supposed to go as far, but she said she was threatened in 2011 and a parking lot and rice vegas she's thought that was trump related with her story. she you know, what? it didn't come out in the courtroom because it wasn't allowed. is she's said publicly that she's been death threaded by trump's supporters ever since her story when public so what reason in the world would she have to like donald trump at this point in time? so i think it really helped her credibility the defense. by the defense is trying to say, you have a motive to testify against him and you're making it up and you're a liar because you hate him and you want it i see him jailed, but it's really the opposite. why why wouldn't she hate him i mean, what else his house you're supposed to answer that question. >> all right. so jeremy, i was when i came in at my senior every day as you know, in the courtroom the seats shift and i
11:12 pm
was really right behind trump, was interesting watching him. and the lawyers, you were able to see during the front of his face from where? from where you are sitting in court you what was the moment that stood out to you? the most i mean, i think this is the first time we really got trump reacting to the testimony i was watching him, particularly when stormy daniels started talking about the anecdote di to spanked him with his magazine and that he visibly, he mounts out something look like an excellent if and sure enough, the judge, we learned from the transcript that we just got admonished trump's attorney here minus trump through his attorney telling him that he's not he should not be doing that. >> and then he was audibly saint mouthing expletives in the courtroom. so this clearly got to him, you know, he had a scowl on his face for much of the testimony during the direct, but he was also really engaged with his attorneys at several points. he would kind of motion over and hit susan niclas on the armed and she objected when he would do that, it was passing notes. yeah. and he was really in a lot of those were sustained i want to ask stephanie something very specific here, but that was sort of i thought an incredible
11:13 pm
admonishment, obviously, not a lawyer, but when the judge said i had to object for you. yeah. why where were you guys without questions? so understand this and what happens is they're sometimes a judges will say, sustained sustain,& the lawyer says nothing about it because at the the end of the day, you don't want things to come out. that is so prejudicial. write that meaning so harmful to the defendant that you lose control. and now that is not what they're saying. they said that it was so prejudicial error, something so strange about today. >> the trump defense team really was not on the ball because they had this pretrial ruling or decision from the judge that swami daniel's they knew was going to talk about being in the hotel room with trump and having her testimony as they had sex but the judge was like, that's as far as it goes. >> i don't want all the details and then stormy daniels inserted all those details into the case and that would have been the perfect time for the defense team to jump up and say, can they didn't know, we
11:14 pm
decided this beforehand. what? what's going on? can they didn't and all those details in there, stephanie, obviously so crucial to trump's response. so then stormy daniels also testified that she and trump talked about melania trump. so daniel says, and i quote here, stephanie from the room. i actually said melania is very beautiful. what about your wife? he said, oh, don't worry about that. we are actually don't even sleep in the same room. trump had his eyes closed when daniels testified to this, what did you make of it? >> well i made i mean, there were so many details that she spoke about today that were true, but from things i've seen myself like you said, keith schiller talking, i knew him very, very well in the beginning and that's exactly the role kinda did play. they do actually sleeping two separate bedrooms. and so i think the fact that he felt cornered with all of these true statements is why he was so aggressive in my experience with donald trump, it's when he knows he's caught or he feels cornered that he becomes extremely agitated. and then
11:15 pm
expects everybody to come out fighting even harder for for him it's really interesting. same with his grooming products. that's true so she had a lot of details that were true that only a very small group of people would know, right, or someone who had been in a very intimate situation with someone would know. i mean, so stephanie, you know, when you hear now that we're just finding out, but the judgment and monitor i just trump four swearing and grimacing, which we have not yet seen in this case, we had seen more in the e gene carol case what does that signal to you? >> well again, he felt cornered. he was angry. he clearly felt in the first half of the de that his team wasn't fighting for him, it brought back memories of when he'd get agitated at me and say you're not fighting for me hard enough. you're not saying things on tv that are strong enough for he would do that to his legal team with the both of the impedance which means when we were in the white house, he would yell at them, you're not fighting for me. so i think that after the lunch break, he clearly let them know what he wanted and she his lawyer was very aggressive with stephanie clifford towards the end. so i
11:16 pm
have a feeling he felt better about it. the fact that he walked out and didn't really bring her up and actually tried to talk some campaign issues makes me think that as people are telling him, were winning now, sir, this was a great day for us. >> i mean, certainly a jeremie watching stormy daniels, obviously, the demeanor change between the the direct and the cross-examination. but the lawyer doing the cross-examination, the strategy was very clear. they wanted to belittle her and they tried very hard. you i could see her face and you it's interesting, obviously, she's blocked a little bit from seeing trump, but watching her face respond and she she sort of seemed to be giving a bring it attitude like when she was baited, she was she was angry. >> what did you see up close? >> yeah. i mean, it really was stark just night and day comparing how she testified in the morning before the prosecution when they were asking the questions about what happened she was almost like she was gossiping. she was talking very quickly. the judge had to tell her multiple times you have to slow down for the court reporter. she seemed relaxed and comfortable and
11:17 pm
would make gestures at one point when she was describing trump on the bet, she literally lifted her leg up in the witness box our arm. obviously, then you come to the area and confidence comfortable witness. >> shall we say? >> it was extremely different. she was sitting up, she was very tense. she was giving one word, very short responses, but i think it was defiant. she was telling susan niclas, you're wrong when you're accusing me of this that and the other and i think we're going to see that again on thursday. >> all right. and so thursday, so there's a day between now and then and they could have finished today if they just gone a little longer, but they didn't they left a little early. so you got to finish the cross, then you got to redirect, you got and you got time to think, oh, without question and remember what the complaints were early on because we all know that you're not getting the release of the witness's prior because they don't try it's trump to do the right thing. right? and so the defense was saying we don't even want stormy called. so i think that right today we want her delayed. we didn't have adequate sufficient notice. trump complaining about his attorneys on having time to prepare him posting and then taking it down. right. but at the end of the day, will they
11:18 pm
do they will take this time to assess what they didn't cover, and then they'll come back and they'll go adder and it's all about& cross examination credibility and that's why you see the tonal shift. and it is right, jeremie direct examination. it's very conversational, but cross-examination. it's credibility. >> you did what then stephanie, before we go you know, what is trumped doing right now? i mean, in terms of micro-managing his lawyers because the cross is still going on. right. his attorney is going to be the one who starts off next. >> yeah. so i guarantee you he is going to be monitoring all the news coverage and getting perspectives from various people. and he's going be calling is attorneys non-stop until probably or it starts up again on thursday telling them we need to do this. we need to go after her for this. i mean, that is how involved he will be. he did it to pretty much everyone in white house for various reasons. so i feel bad for them in that peripheral or for that reason. >> all right. thank you all very much. next breaking news, trump's classified documents, trial just we've just found out
11:19 pm

11:24 pm
cannon, who was appointed by trump himself. and has issued a number of controversial rulings in his favor, saying it would be called imprudent and quote inconsistent, set a trial date. now the case was supposed to go to trial this month. that decision all but guarantees that that is now not going to happen for the election in front now, former trump white house attorney ty cobb, tie, you been clear with your feelings of how judge can and has handled this case, but this is this is direct. this isn't just she's, you know, by by having an unrealistic trial date on the calendar, we know she's not really putting one on. this is direct like it's it's over, it's not happening. what's your reaction to it? >> well i think. you're absolutely right, erin. >> this is dirac, this is clear. >> all she's really done today though is make official what everybody including jack smith already knew, which was she had no intention of getting this case to trial, and she wasn't competent to get this case to trial. she talks about her duty to fully and fairly consider the pending motions. she's had
11:25 pm
months to do that, and did very little. she's had she's ruled on only three of the 12 motions to dismiss, all of which could have been easily resolved by now. she ignored jack smith's set forth. jack smith set forth a detailed hearing and pleading schedule for the cpa issues, the classified intelligence materials procedures act materials what she holy ignored and did not act on until today when she scheduled two of the necessary hearings on that for the first time. >> so this is something that i think it was always for objective frankly, to prevent us from going to trial. >> but also i think her her inability wholesale inability to do it was made palpable. >> so setae is this bias or is it just uttering competence
11:26 pm
well, i think i once said that it's to be fair to her. >> she may merely being competent, but now, this is a combination of bias and competence. i mean, for example, she scheduled to hearing on today in this order on the issue of who constitutes trump's trial. two are not trump's side with the justice department is trial team. here, the special counsel is trial team because of trump's frivolous allegations that it includes a sweeping number of government officials. now that's that's a frivolous motion. no other judge would actually have a hearing on that but she is scheduled one. the things that she has done here are really inexplicable and it's tragic she talks about the pump having honored the public's interest in the administration of justice by postponing the trial now, she has not honored the public's interests for one de in this case, as she has sat in her office, apparently paralyzed from a ruling on easily resolvable motions and sadly,
11:27 pm
this case will not go to trial, notwithstanding the fact that's one of the most important cases in history. & could have easily been tried in advance of the election? yes, certainly. i'm in the fact pattern on that one it very clear this is not like something like january 6 where there are a lot of precedent and other issues to consider does jack smith have any recourse on this or is this just case closed so i don't believe he does scheduling is an area traditionally where judges have wide latitude. >> i don't think he would have the ability to get her removed on this or overruled on this. i do think she is not capable of ruling intelligently are fairly on most of the motions that will be pending, and certainly the classified information issues. and i think at some point she will be removed and advanced trial, but keep in mind this case now can go to trial until mid to late 2025, and it won't go to trial if trump is elected.
11:28 pm
>> so does this have any impact on smith and the january 6 case? >> no, but i think even there, if the if the court rules is suspected in late june or early july, and the supreme court that will have been six months from the time that first left the district court. and if you just add those six months onto onto that date, that takes next is well beyond the election. i don't think either of those cases has a chance to go. i think the only case we're going to have tried to conclusion if it gets there is this new york is all right. ty. thank you very much. i appreciate it thanks, aaron, good to be with you. >> how are you to the next israel warning its military operation in southern gaza award than 1 million people are crap will expand as necessary so what does this mean for the cease fire that hamas agreed to plus i'll talk to the sketch artist capture this moment from

>> huge in gaza for this coastal area. he israeli military calls a humanitarian zone setting-up makeshift shelters with tarp sheets and thin planks of wood good this woman has just arrived with her grandchildren after a sleepless night in raffa, displaced once again we well, death with our own eyes here's strikes forces to leave. >> we roomed in the streets like nomads humanitarian aid officials warn this area, isn't equipped to handle the basic needs of hundreds of thousands of people who could soon be forced to leave raffa after seven months of war, ceasefire negotiations ofir, the only hope of a way out. >> and aaron, those ceasefire negotiations are continuing this week in cairo as israel and hamas try and bridge the gap between these two framework proposals, which they have agreed to. >> hamas is still pushing for an end to the war. they are also saying that they intend to
11:37 pm
offer up the bodies of hostages to round out the number of 33 hostile so just released during that first phase of the agreement, israeli sources telling me that those are both non starters for the israeli government. so a lot more work clearly needs to be done in the days ahead aaron jeremie. >> thank you very much for that important reporting out front now, democratic congressman jared moscowitz, a florida a member of the foreign affairs committee. a congressman. i appreciate your time. as we understand it right now and what's on the ground. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is moving ahead in raffa. obviously, despite president biden consisting will eat insistently expressing deep concern about the catastrophic effect this could have on civilians. million of them were told to go there and to seek refuge here is what some of them are saying now the situation is very difficult. >> the street we were on was targeted with an airstrike hitting the entire residential block we don't know what to do. >> we are going into the unknown.
11:38 pm
>> i don't know where to go. i don't know where to head two, i prefer to di death is more dignified than this congress on what do you say to the incredible suffering that is happening right now amongst the civilian population in gaza. as this rough operation begins no thanks, erin. thanks for having me. well, look it it's obviously heartbreaking. it's gut wrenching. it's why myself and a majority of my colleagues are praying for a ceasefire we've been hoping that we would get to a cease fire obviously not the lie that the propaganda cease fire, that hamas put out yesterday, that many in the world's media took as factual, meant as propaganda by hamas, but a real ceasefire that leads to the release of hostages we've obviously, unfortunately reached the point where those ceasefire negotiations are, have failed,
11:39 pm
mainly because it's not clear how many hostages unfortunately may still be a lot. five hamas now changing their position to releasing bodies. and so look i've listened to the president, i agree with the president on this. we want to make sure obviously that anything that happens in raffa is limited that we're making sure that humanitarian aid is getting in through those corridors that we're limiting civilian life as much as possible. but hamas can end this right now. today, right? this second is we're talking by agreeing to the ceasefire proposals that's been on the table for the release of hostages or what they need to do is come out and admit how many people are still alive. so that we know what we're dealing with. >> coaston, why would they agreed to a ceasefire at this point though when all a cease fire is is a pause before where are netanyahu goes in and continues to kill people. i mean, it's almost as if they're asking for a permanent end to this. and that seems to be off the table for israel.
11:40 pm
should it be, should it be off the table? >> well, by the way, aaron, i agree with you. why would hamas agreed to a ceasefire? there's almost no pressure on hamas the pressure is only on israel. i mean, there's just absolutely no pressure on hamas every day hamas looked because it's social media, they look at the television and they don't see anyone condemning hamas anymore are putting pressure on our mosque or saying hamas, please agree to a ceasefire. know, they only see people saying that to israel. so that's unfortunately why israel is now reopening the military pressure at this civilian are being told right now are being killed because of the israeli onslaught they're being killed because a mosque won't release the hostages air and both things can be true, right? like we can say we can say the war is continuing because hamas won't release the hostages and the war is continuing because israel decided to go into rafah right? so all things can be true simultaneously. i understand. i want to ask you about you brought up president
11:41 pm
biden, you said you agree with me, gave an important speech at the us holocaust memorial museum today? calling on americans to fight what he called a ferocious surge of anti-semitism. he directly connected the holocaust to the horrific attack on october 7th. and here's part of what he said jewish community. they want you to know i see your fear. >> you're hurting your pain let me reassure you. as your president, you're not alone you belong you always have and always will you were there congressman for the president's speech. >> i know you've been one of the most outspoken members of congress on the rise of anti-semitism in the united states and around the world so did you feel that today's message, what the president said met the moment well, the president was powerful. >> he was strong, he was unequivocal, and it was moving and listen, president biden has been fighting anti-semitism his
11:42 pm
entire career in the senate as vice president and as president before october 7th, he started the anti-semitism task-force under his administration, he had the ambassador to combat antisemitism. these are things he did before october 7 but obviously the president's words are needed, they are warranted because the jewish community is turning on the television every day and they're seeing the anti-semitism all over their screens on college campuses. and if you listened to the stories of holocaust survivors today, the stories they told are similar to the things we're seeing today. the holocaust didn't happen. start with the gas chambers. it started with words and so we really appreciate the president always providing moral clarity as he always does. >> i was from moscowitz. i very much appreciate your time. thank you thank you. and a special programming. nope, i will be sitting down with president biden for an exclusive interview tomorrow and wisconsin. and that interview will air tomorrow night, right here on out front at 7:00 eastern time i'd front
