The Trump Hush Money Trial JUST FLIPPED.

wow the Donald Trump strategy to defeat

the hush money trial against him just

got really interesting let's go through

this first let me catch you off to speed

my goal is to cover this entire trial

I'm just going to give you a quick

background so if you're already used to

the background I'll put a little time

stamp down below you could skip forward

to the interesting part but let's just

give you a little quick background we'll

make it simple just so you know the

names of people involved and what's

going on so when you hear Alvin Bragg I

want you to think district attorney when

you hear Matt I want you to think the

prosecutor he's the guy actually in the

courtroom pound in the pavement for

Alvin brag when you hear Leticia James

think of a state of New York attorney

general these names sometimes blend

together so I'll add some reminders so

keep in mind that this entire case is

designed to paint what Donald Trump did

as a criminal conspir iry and a coverup

to influence the election now the Trump

campaign's response to this is pretty

remarkable already in their opening

statement so we're going to hit that as

far as some other names that are going

to be important David pecker CEO of the

company that owned the national Inquirer

stormmy Daniels who signed a statement

in 2018 January 30th 2018 stating she

never had an affair with Trump but then

she later said that wasn't her signature

and then in a different case said that

okay was her signature but she had no

choice because she was uh forced to sign

the statement via a non-disclosure

agreement in exchange for accepting the

$130,000 and felt like she had no choice

to accept $130,000 so that'll come up

that all relates to of course her

allegations that the national Inquirer

was thinking about taking public which

then she recanted and kind of kept her

story uh hushed up if you will because

allegedly she made a deal with Trump

you'll hear Todd blanch he's the Trump

defense attorney now this guy is really

interesting because he has a history of

being a federal prosecutor in Manhattan

which is interesting because now he's

playing defense attorney in other words

he used to be the guy working for

Manhattan now he's the guy working for

the defendants against Manhattan so it's

kind of a really interesting flip-flop

of a role he has limited experience as a

defense attorney and he also helped Paul

manord avoid avoid State charges of

mortgage fraud so somehow hooked up with

Donald Trump and here we are so the idea

probably is that Trump's got a guy who

used to work for the state and knows how

they operate right that's the idea then

you've got uh judge M I like to call him

work judge M I call him judge M he's the

justice of uh a Justice of the New York

state supreme court in Manhattan he is

not only presiding over the hush money

trial but he also previously oversaw the

5we trial against the Trump Organization

for tax fraud which the Trump

organization was convicted icted of 17

counts he also oversaw the tri trial of

Alan velber the former Financial chief

of the Trump organization who plad

guilty to a 15y yearlong tax fraud

scheme judge am sentenced Allen to five

months at Riker's Island all right then

of course you've got to know Michael

Cohen now here's another interesting

character everybody's got an interesting

kind of story because Michael C actually

pled guilty to lying to Congress lying

in court and lying to the media he

actually went to prison he was sentenced

to 3 years in prison and ordered to pay

$50,000 and then got disbarred so he can

no longer be an attorney he went to

prison in 2019 and got out in 2021 so he

spent Co in prison anyway this guy's

like 57 years old at one point Donald

Trump sued Cohen for breach of legal

trust because of that audio recording

against uh Donald Trump or that people

are trying to use against Donald Trump

I'll explain that in a moment uh and

then of course he's now being used as a

key witness against Donald Trump that's

because of I'm not going to play the

audio recording because I'll show you

why Donald Trump's defense kind of

messes all of that audio recording stuff

off but basically there's this audio

recording where Michael Cohen's like hey

so I'm going to set up a shell company

I'm going to make the payments to deal

with the pecker issue that's the

national inquire story referring to

Stormy Daniels okay so that's really

just just like a catchup of everything

and Michael Cohen recorded that why he

recorded that who knows but he did and

you hear Trump kind of you know going

along with it whatever okay none of that

is necessarily wrong what's wrong is

what the district attorney alleges and

that's 34 counts of basically writing uh

checks invoices and documenting items in

like quick books like a ledger uh saying

these are normal necessary and ordinary

legal business expenses is that's what

the Trump organization claims and the

district attorney is claiming no those

expenses were used to cover up something

that the electing the voting public

should have known of therefore not only

did you lie about a business expense

being a business expense which would be

a misdemeanor but you used it to cover

something else up and that rises to a

classy felony which is the lowest form

of a felony uh so the argument is you

paid off Stormy Daniels through your

family trust via Michael Cohen Cohen has

admitted to such okay so what is the

Trump defense and this is where things

get really interesting so you just had a

good little four minute-ish five

minute-ish catch up on everything that's

being uh alleged those 34 counts by the

way come out of uh three different

situations the payment to Stormy Daniels

the deal with Karen McDougall and the

30k payment to the doorman who alleged

that Donald Trump fed a child out of

wedlock okay there now we're fully

caught up so today

we started hearing opening statements

and this is where we got a really

interesting point of view from the Trump

defense and that's what we've got to

talk about uh first worth getting out of

of the way that Matt the prosecutor

suggested that Donald Trump is a penny

pincher that he approves every invoice

and that Trump never negotiated Cohen's

price instead Trump doubled the price

Cohen was charging because he wanted

this issue to go away now the Trump

defense here is is like really really

fascinating okay so you ready for this

I'm going to set this up let's assume

for a moment that Trump did something

wrong with Stormy Daniels and then

covered it up well then these

allegations you know they could have

some

weight but what if you argue all that

stormy Daniel stuff was all a lie and

therefore all of the other expenses that

happened

the invoices the legal expenses the

reimbursements the shell company the

audio recording all of that doesn't

matter because we were just simply

paying for a false story to go away so

we wouldn't have to publicly defend a

false story right before the

election now that is a really

interesting twist I was not expecting

this see I was expecting that the state

was going to come in and say Donald

Trump knew about these expenses which

they did say today Donald Trump knew

about these expenses and he had an

affair and he used this money to cover

up that he had an affair that's what I

was expecting the defense or the the

prosecution to say and I thought the

defense would come in and say Donald

Trump knew nothing about these payments

which would be problematic because they

have that audio recording that the FBI

got their hands on right but Trump's

defense is going 4D chess move and

saying you know what yeah that audio

recording we own it you know what we did

make payments to Stormy Daniels in fact

all those invoices the checks we wrote

and The Ledger absolutely right those

were a necessary an ordinary business

expense because stormmy Daniels came up

with a false story and it is not illegal

to pay somebody to shut up about a lie

instead she's the criminal because she's

storting us with a defamatory lie now

that is such an interesting argument

because it changes everything here it

basically lets Donald Trump lean into

all of the fraud charges about the

general ledger the checks and the

invoices and it allows Michael Cohen to

say yep we paid her and then he can go

up on the stand and say we paid her

Donald Trump agrees we paid her Donald

Trump will go yep yep we paid her and

then when Michael Cohen gets asked well

did Donald Trump have an affair with her

how am I supposed to know and then

Donald Trump's going to go I didn't have

an affair with her and then stormmy

Daniel is going to go I had an affair

with him and so then this whole case

doesn't actually come down to the

payments what it actually comes down to

is do you believe Donald Trump had an

affair with her or not which which then

all of a sudden this case is like what

this is like you know the the case of

probably this year right the case of

2024 uh public trial of a former

president uh and it kind of reminds me

of very much like Bill clintones like

you know I did not have sexual relations

with like it reminds me a lot of the

Monica Lewinsky scandal and so this is

like wow we are no longer actually

arguing about whether or not these

checks were made or invoices were made

or the tapes or uh you know whether or

not stormmy Daniels uh statement was

true or or or false like her written

statement right what we're actually now

asking the jury to do is do you believe

that Donald Trump had an affair if he

did not have an affair then all of the

stuff that came after that not illegal

as Trump's defense says that is a

legitimate use of money to defend

against a false story and it is not

election interference and you know what

it is not illegal to influence an

election by covering up false lies like

you're under no obligation to tell

somebody something if it's a lie because

you're just reiterating somebody's lie

that's very very interesting it's a very

interesting defense and it totally

contrasts with a what I thought we were

going to get going into this but it's

also going to then lead jurors to have

to decide okay so how credible is

stormmy Daniel's story because really

you just basically can put Michael Cohen

up there and he's going to say yeah we

were the checks but now all going to

come down to what evidence the Stormy

Daniels have that an affair actually

occurred and that is going to be used if

there's a lack of evidence or a lack of

you know uh the stained dress so to

speak or text or whatever it's going to

be pretty hard to get Trump now again of

course the prosecution is going to try

to set up a challenge against Donald

Trump's credibility so what they're

going to do is they're going to come

after his is uh assets case this is

basically where there's the allegation

that Donald Trump inflated assets so

they're going to go after him uh for

that they'll bring that up uh and they

will bring up uh any other potential uh

issues or misstatements that have

occurred such as Donald Trump's

compliance with gag orders and his

defaming of Jean Carroll which obviously

Jee Carroll won a lot of people like

trumped didn't def whatever all of those

things are going to come up because what

the prosecution is going to try to do is

break down Trump's credibility and pump

up the credibility of stormmy Daniels

and on the other side they're just going

to be trying to collapse stormmy

Daniel's credibility and boost their own

so this is wild because it's really

going to come down to an opinion of a

jury and the trial actually ended early

today because apparently one of the

jurors had a toothache you can't make

this stuff up anyway if you like my
