'A real smoking gun': How Trump reacted as secret Cohen recording played in court

We take you inside the New York City courtroom on day 10 of Donald Trump’s criminal trial. NBC News reporter Adam Reiss joins MSNBC’s Katie Phang on the scene inside the room, specifically how Trump reacted to a secret recording being introduced as evidence. Trump listened as the recording heard Cohen and Trump speaking about the McDougal deal, as Cohen explained his intent to set up a company that would purchase the rights to the story. “Pay with cash,” Trump tells Cohen in a recording played for the jury. Political strategist Adam Parkhomenko, Vanity Fair special correspondent Molly Jong-Fast and lawyer Charles Coleman join the panel.

That's not the case. Trump is gagged. It is a violation if he does speak of Cohen. His punishment for doing so, is not what it should be, but still violation. Which can affect him in his other criminal cases. Cohen made the decision to not discuss the trial on his podcasts. The judge mentioned it, but after Cohen made the decision himself. Cohen does not have to make any further comments during trial. He has been honest and his testimony will be loud enough. Cohen will go down in history as the man who exposed the con man. Trump is officially on Record as VonShitzhispants. And that was all Cohen. 😂

As said: try that defense when poor and the judge will reject it and focus on the fact that you committed the crime and the penalty will apply regardless the impact on your family.

When he is being prosecuted because of personal hatred a d political interests. This is how Trump has been treated differently. The poor do not have the power to execute the same rights as the rich. Rights are nothing if you don't have the power to invoke them. This is rich /poor. Trump is singled from others who are in the rich and powerful circle, individually.

Attorney, client privileges become void when a crime is committed. So no there isn't. Lol, this is why our system is so f'd up, you idiots don't even know what the law is, but you still use.your fantasy to inform how you shape policy. I'm probably the o ly person kn the left who thinks education should be required to vote

[@pdoylemi]

It's called the crime/fraud exception. When the lawyer and client are planning or committing crimes together, there is no privilege.
