CNN’s Erica Hill speaks with the former attorney for Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis, about Judge Juan Merchan telling Michael Cohen to stop talking about the Trump hush money trial ahead of his upcoming testimony. #CNN #News
Don't worry, the judge will give you 11 warnings before doing anything...
111
Yea!
Good one!!!
Many of your comrades seem to be devastated that Jack Smith won't be able to run the trial before the election - they believe this is the strongest case against Trump. I don't think the Court is impressed that the prosecutors mishandled the evidence? And let's not forget Fani Willis... I shouldn't laugh... cough
Great point!😄
I recently watched Cohen on Meidas Touch political beatdown. Cohen made certain that he never discussed Trump but did say he had anxiety about testifying. That’s all.
Except he wore a shirt with Trump behind bars showing his intention is just to say whatever to make that happen/
He's also said that he wants trump to be held accountable because that's what he deserves, not because he wants revenge. Going to prison and losing all of the ill-gotten gains he has enjoyed should be the natural consequence of his actions, just as it was, and still is, for Michael.
Mr. Cohen will do the right thing, for himself, his family, our country.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 are you trolling?
@@RM-jb2bvTrump isn't arguing that he's innocent, he's arguing that he has a right to be a criminal. And he will and has been given the right to be a criminal already.
@@retrogal1520 what crime, lol? The prosecution hasn’t even named the crime. Any day now I’m sure
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
When Michael Cohen comes on the Meidas Touch network he is very careful to NOT discuss the trial. I am beginning to wonder about CNN and why they are making misleading videos like this
You love Cohen? Is he a hero of the left?
Yesss! Its so f___ed up!!! Its so wrong.. Like Cohen needs this s_it!!!
That's how full of crap CNN is
Agree, he is very cautious since beginning. The judge was just telling him to watch it. They're kind of making a big deal about it
hang on, before we get all conspiratorial, is it true or not that cohen made that video wearing the trump in jail shirt AFTER his MT appearance? they just interviewed cohens lawyer and he agreed cohen needs to tone it down. What exactly is misleading about this video?
Ok, so that means Michael Cohen has nine more times to talk about the trial. Right judge? 😂😅
What does that mean? When you are on trial that’s when you need first amendment rights MOST? You think defendemts shouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves?! Good lord.
He can talk about the trial as much as he wants. He’s not under a gag order. It’s just reckless and he endangers the prosecutions case when he does so.
@@RM-jb2bvTrump, can certainly exercise his 1st amendment rights, but he needs to do that under oath. He won’t be permitted to threaten jurors and witnesses as he has been doing.
No 11, the judge did not tell him directly.
@@mkay3310what was the threat he actually made to them ?
People should watch Midas Touch instead of CNN to get good information on the Trump trial
That's an opinion network
Keep talking Michael Cohen! Force Merchan’s hand. If he won’t jail Trump, then he can’t jail you. Dude, you have at least 10 chances to burn!
He couldn't anyways. Michael Cohen is not the criminal defendant, unlike Trea45on, and has the 1st Amendment. I don't know why the judge said this, but Cohen stopped on his own about a month ago. 😊
@GraceMarie-cs2kk, I'm sure Michael Cohen realizes he doesn't have that kind of pull to tangle with Judge Juan Merchan in a court of law. The individual who resides in the state of Florida thinks his previous position, having served, gives him the authority to push the gag order issue to incite his MAGA supporters to do something drastic in the process. The sooner his egotistical & narcissistic mindset finds out that nobody is above the law of the land. The better he wants things to move right along with his hush money courtroom trial in the state of New York.
That's why the judge okay use your buddy whatever he needs to make a statement by putting you in jail and that way all the public will be absolutely out there's not going to be riot they'll be absolute respect thinking well okay he didn't get away with anything then and then that will tell the rest of the country all the criminals that okay well fun's over now looks like the the judge took is taken to stand and he's done being mocked and laughed at too
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513 I know, but… it would be fun to watch and make vonShitzinpants squirm in his gooey diaper.
If you have seen his podcast with Ben Meiselas he stopped speaking about the trial last month. In fact the whole Von Schitzinpantz was first said last December after Adam Kinzinger said Trump smelled and after Trump would make that gross groaning weight lifting motion. Which he doesn’t seem to be now. Thank God! It was gross
Please defend the indefensible 😂😂😂
Dear jenn respectfully I’d rather have a president that has good policy on crime, the border avoiding foreign wars, good economic policy, etc. etc. even if he smells bad someone that smells good and totally lacks leadership with failing policy. It’s time we vote on what matters and stop wearing about. Who may send mean tweets smell funny look funny those things mean nothing jenn I respect all contrasting Success always! Dr. D.
Very few people are going to come forward like Stormy and Michael Cohen. They have both been through some rough times due to their connection to Trump.
Name someone who hasnt...the entire population!
Everybody “comes forward” and they all want money. Both Stormy and Cohen have been running towards the cameras.
Rough times? Ones been in Jail, a convicted criminal - the other owes Trump $300 000, after been Sue by Trump.
I don't know. I'd be pretty happy if I could collect 130k in exchange for an agreement that I had no plans to abide by anyways.
WTF???
Cohen hasn’t said a thing about Trump in over a month. Pay attention maybe?
If it weren’t for you what would we have. I can only assume you are blind and deaf!
are you serious? this story here, the one with him wearing the Trump shirt... ? happened yesterday, kiddo. he posts every night about Trump.
He has been on Tiktok begging for money and claiming he is going to get Trump.... Pay attention
That's a ton of B's he has been making big money on sights bashing trump u need to wake up
@user-mj4zk3bo8v , Good! He went to prison already for this exact case! He's not on trial, and, uh, Michael Cohen has the 1st Amendment. Trump is a criminal defendant who has a gag order for his threats! See the difference?
Defendant Toadstool Von Shitzinpants 5150 🇺🇸
Trump 20-24 years!
Interesting fantasy you have pretty fly. Very telling.
Get him Stormy …
Thanks for your service Stormy 😂😂😂
Stormy is a new face of the Democratic Party, I think she will lead them to the finish line....I love it.
😂😂😂😂😂.......'get him' ?............ok.
stormy daniels gets a lot of guys, just look her name up u can see her sleep with hundreds of them. crazy this the word ya’ll takin as the truth.
@@byronpietersz3455 Anti-Christ Donald Trump the Pied Piper of Sinners and Demons.
Cohen should refrain from commenting until after the trial. Take the high ground Micheal, don’t lower to Trumps level or risk jeopardising the trial.
Cohen is a convicted felon and a serial perjurer. You dope.
Yeah, Michael, explain to the jury why they should send your client to jail for following your legal advice. Oh wait 🤔
I think he did stop any appearances before the trial began, places I regularly saw him giving his opinions have not had him on for a few weeks now.
So you agree the case is nothing without a liar testifying?
@@flubalubaful He's been raising money on tik tok talking about the trial. So no. He hasn't shut up.
Michael has been very cautious from the beginning. He's got this. He knows exactly what is at stake 🇺🇲🌎
God I hope so. I would lose my mind if he says anything that can help Trump on appeal!
Be careful what you ask for. You need your mind for many other things.
Hey Mr. Trump, how about take the stand like a real man, instead of BS?
He’s not that courageous.😏
It's a set up, no, don't take that stand Mr. President, fascists Democrats will tweest every word you gonna say and lie about what you said, just like they always do. Stay strong...
JillStein 2024💚🙏🏿☮️🕎☪️✝️ Say no to Joe Butcher in November.👎🏿
Nobody with a brain takes the stand. You never know how the prosecution will twist you up. Last resort only
What is the crime if you know baby 🍼 boy
It should not be forgotten, that it was during Cohens appearance before congress, that AOC asked whether or not trump should be investigated for financial (tax) crimes, and Cohen said yes. Leteita James heard that testimony, and started her investigation into the trump org.
Absolutely‼️
Was this before or after Trump told Cohen he was not going to have a job at the white house?
@@TheRealTommyShelby After I think. That doesn't mean Trump isn't guilty. Cohen went to jail for the same crime.
Well Letitia James never charged him with any crime, so I guess that shows you how credible michael cohen is.
@@heemlo649 Allan Weisselberg is now a convicted felon. trump owes almost 1/2 BILLION dollars, is barred from running his business in NY. And DA Bragg is likely going to convict him in the falsifying records case. So, I would say Michael Cohen was pretty credible.
The judge has to be fucking kidding me. He let off Trump with TEN TIMES with NO PUNISHMENT AT ALL. And now the judge is putting his dirty thumb on the scale against Michal Cohen. This fucking judge has some attitude.
Yow
Behave
Trump has ruined so many lives!
How so
Bidens INFLATION fits the bill
Oh so Cohen didn't break all those laws and lie before 2014? He was a good man till he got caught right? And what again is the exact charges on Trump? Name one. Just one. Bill Clinton did way worse he used tax payer money and admitted it why is he not in prison?
@@I-dont-reply You are poorly educated. Imagine what you could be in life if you didnt simp for Trump. Life ruined ... You are the example.
Yup, and much of it was facilitated by the scumbag Michael Cohen.
I love that he's stirring up the PAB!!!
😂😂👍👍
Why would Cohen have a gag order? He isn't the criminal defendant here! I'm so sick of trump pissing his pants and everyone bending over backwards to change his diaper for him! Enough already!
Because the judge is to impotent to put Trump in jail and the judge is afraid Trump will break his gag order in response to Cohen, making his job harder. The judge is a coward snowflake. The judge needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP and STOP CLOWNING AROUND. Cohen isn't on trial. He has zero authority to even give his fucking opinion.
Because it is sub judicis. Got it?
I agree, judges have too much power to gag free individuals
Stop talking out of Trump's pants, that is called sexual harassment. Alpha male President Trump is far too busy saving Democracy and Rule of Law for us, to give you the time of day. Besides he is a faithful loving married husband, so leave him alone and rather find yourself some Soy-boy!
Why not? He gave Trump a gag order. Both are presumed innocent.
Trump ,s mad cause his diapers aint selling.
*typo. ‘smelling’
He should start selling his dirty diapers to his sycophants. I’m sure they will pay a lot.
I bought 2 MAGA bibles (only $59 each) and got a free Red MAGA hat, which I wear every day . The best thing I have ever bought!
@@MarkSmith-pb2ly That’s a good move, so people can see you coming.
He stopped discussing the trial weeks ago.
SNL look no further- material for sketches--> 1. Lawyer Necklace 2. RFKs worm 3. Stormy weather 4. Court reporter sketches 5. Cricket is no going back
The judge agreed to quit playing pocket pool over Stormy if Cohen shuts up.
Cohen have to be the better person THE ADULT IN THE HOUSE DONT WANT HIM TO MESS UP THIS TRIAL he’s going to have plenty time FOR THAT
How many times has Cohen attempted to intimidate those associated with the Court, through death threats?
Thats been Trump and his cult ! All the millions of threats to people (and their precious families), powder mailings, swatting calls, attacks on FBI and police officers, etc is beyond baffling !
I'm rooting for Cohen but he really should show better judgement and just shut up. I get that he's a pugnacious kind of guy but he should take the high road. This isn't the time to be chasing clout.
Cohen wouldn't know the high road if he tripped over the curb. He was, is and will likely always be a scumbag.
He is!!!
Convicted Liar
lied for trump.
He was Trump's hatchet man for years, fuck Cohen.
My opinion of Stormy, from the first time I saw her in an interview was that she is unquestionably FABULOUS! There are a myriad of admirable traits that have only compounded as time has passed. She is someone I would be blessed to call a friend. IF I ever held pre conceived notions because of her occupation, and I'd like to think I'm not that shallow, I have none now. She has been "seen" AND appreciated for her intelligence, strength, humor, and overall goodness that is rare in our society. Keep doing you Stormy! You're an incredible example to be emulated, with or without the career choice. 🥰 Much love 💖
If donald trump is so innocent to his maga cult crazies, trump should take the stand in his own defense. “Individual One”, must be held accountable, no matter the outcome. Let the jury, make their call, when all is said and done.
Such a depressing demeanor. Misery loves company. The only thing that motivates him is money. So sad…
I think it's important to remember when the same thing happens in a different position to be able to make sure that they will do something like this
Please Michael, save it for Court. Keep your eye on the ball. Don’t blow it for ALL OF US - we are all wanting what you want :Justice to finally be served. 🙏
Democrats are communist
He already blew it. He will get grilled by the defense. Jury will find out he is a convicted perjurer
He blew it😂
🤣🫵🏼🤡
I like a president that is not mentally competent to stand trial for his own crimes.
I believe M Cohen will stop mentioning Trump.
Not mentioned Drump or been seen in publics since the trial began.
He has een...the reporting is wrong!!!
I have (and LOVE) that t-shirt Michael’s wearing!!! 🔩 YOU, Orange Satan! 🤠
Agree be quiet
With the Supreme Court being 6-3 right-wing, Trump's appeal to them will almost certainly end up being overturned because of some silly loophole. Cohen and the whole prosecution has to be perfect... and then that still might not be enough for Trump to eventually weasel out of any accountability.
Lmao, the judges job is to put a gag order on him, not the prosecutor.
When will the prosecution tell us what form a reimbursement to your attorney must be filed if not under Legal Fees?
Where do we get the tee shirt? Looks like a best seller! 🌊🌊🌊2024
Cohen can say whatever he wants, he is not on trial nor under any gag order!! 👍
No, only Trump has no 1st Amendment rights, per this DNC Judge and all of you double standard Biden buttwipes.
"Judge tells Michael Cohen to stop discussing trial. His former attorney weighs in" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO
so the judge is telling a witness what to say and what to not say
Cohen will go into lawyer mode and defense chick, if she cross examines him, will need to stay on her toes b/c I'm pretty sure he'll want to make her look foolish and inept if he can. For him, that would be the cherry on top.
So why aren't these witness intimidators being prosecuted?
Does anyone in the legal community know what form a payment to an extortionist must be filed?
Surprising how you make a face at the word “fair trial” like it’s too much to ask. But I am also surprised at myself for being surprised at CNN host doing that.
Where have you been? Cohen has stopped talking about Trump weeks ago. He has completely stopped talking about d podcasting about Trump before being asked not to talk about him.
They couldn’t wait until after the trial to sell merchandise?
Michael Cohen refrained from discussing the case on podcasts, as soon as the trial began. But, he had ads on TikTok of a T-shirt with Trump behind bars in orange. The Defense showed it to the Judge.
The Judge is right.
F no he isn't
Recreate transcripts with actors. Motion denied, Motion denied. Election finance law top expert. Denied. Pomerantz pleading the fifth, the previous prosecutor motion denied. Motion denied. But State can have surprise witness with half day notice. Wow. Biggest kangaroo court ever. Most important case ever.Jack Smith tampered with evidence. All cases imploded. Indite every democrat running for office and fake news reporter in republican states. Taste of their own medicine with no spoon full of sugar. Better whisk him away to Epstein prison you can't debate issues.
Judge “directs” Michael Cohen to not…
Michael please don't give them any reason for a miss trail.
So why not a gag order?
I'll Get My Visits!
I bet Stormy won’t be visiting him.
When has he continued to speak out????
I watched a video of Fox News how Mickey Cohn is trash talking about Mr Trump, the presenter then said in her own words started to say Mr Trump can’t trash talk about them but quickly changed it to defend himself.
Thank you for honest reporting.
Cohen lied for Trump and went to jail for Trump. Its time Trump spent time in prison for his crimes.
The witnesses are brave to stand up to trump
CNN, the judge didn't warn, he asked. Get the facts right.
He in fact did warn. Get the facts straight.
ffs cohen what are you doing? why would you wear that shirt when you know how precarious your credibility is as a witness.
I looked, the tee shirt Michael’s wearing in this clip is no longer available on the Meidas touch website. If it ever was. Maybe he’s selling it personally?
Witnesses are not under a gag order.
No matter what side of the fence you sit on, its like kids in the playground throwing stones at each other and calling each other names. Whats the fun in show and tell? FFS save it for the court room and use it wisely.
When u threaten other folks they will speak out.
I support him! 100%!
I thought he had stopped talking about the trial and DT.? I must have missed something (Twitter posts?). At least that is what he said he would do on his podcasts. Maybe I am being naive. Would hope that he knows better to give the defense any possible means to further delay, or potentially jeopardise, the trial - of which his life has been consumed by for many years - as acknowledged in both his books. 🤦🤷♂🙄
Know what keeps me up at night? Jrr #2 gets his news from truthsocial.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
Fun fact, Stormy owes president Trump over 700k.
Fun fact, Trump owes more than half a billion dollars in civil judgments.😊
Fun Fact: Trump owes E Jean Carrol 98 MILLION and Trump owes Latitia James 490 MILLION.
I think Soros the putz will pay it off with Bill Gates...
@@PeterSedesse Fun fact, both will be overturned on appeal.
Fun fact she will never pay a dime.
You mean gag order when judge says stop talking.
Lanny Davis, the ultimate Clinton fixer ? Lanny probably has Bill's cigars and speed dial to Jeffrey.
Personally, I want justice to always be served. I have to say this court involved with this case is truly a kangaroo court From what we’ve seen today, May 21 2024 The judge is totally unhinged and hes headed for fiery demise in connection with his career as a judge. The facts are coming out. The judge does not like to hear the facts so he’s becoming increasingly upset and taking it out on witnesses is unethical.
And if trump was truly presidential, he'd calm this, but he does not, in fact he incites it. For that alone he deserves punishment.
That shirt has been out for a year. This is old news.
He is a former lawyer. He knows that this is not good because he comes off as a vindictive person and will say anything to get retribution against 45.
Lanny and Uncle Garland should have told him that years ago
Did name callin Donnie get upset when people started calling him #VONSCHITZINPANZ ???
People get threats all the time I don’t see why this is news
So What ! What about Trumps Treats ? Everyday ! Stormy your done!!!🎭
I'm a bit dubious that a connection between Trump and Weisselberg can be made - who will corroborate that Trump gave instructions or approved classifying the payment as Legal Expense. Or is that irrelevant given the fact that the transaction was indeed classified as Legal Expense - all Cohen needs to do is show the transaction was not for Legal Expenses.
The judge is conflicted defence will save you donny ,get up snd testify!!😂😂😂
CNN is more critical of Cohen than Trump. I'm so sick of it!
If u watch cnn you would know that’s not true, cohen has been on cnn several occasions leading up to this trial, meanwhile trump is bashed on here 24/7
This case is falling apart like the rest.
Yes I agree, for Trump.
@@freddiegrigson4463 For the establishment.
Good point Lanny Davis. Cohen was vilified in person by a bunch of GOP congress-creatures and didn't lose his cool. I hope he can handle this enormous responsibility.
Don't talk about it. Take your lumps. We are the government. Why do I feel like I'm in Africa?
So let’s get this straight a presidential candidate running for election is allowed to be badmouth over and over by others involved with this case, but he’s not allowed to discuss the matter at all because of an unconstitutional order, Does this sound like America?
What is up with the strange hair on trump? big parts and humps in the back scalp showing through everywhere more yellow/????
that"s very rich from the judge. the judges allows trump to violate the gag orders against Cohen as a witness but then tries to stop comments from Cohen whom doesn't have a gag order. Judge has bias. Do your job judge, protect the witness.
Drill baby drill
Trump's 'Brown Shirts'..
This woman is just really pushing this this man to just say some crap just trumpy for trumpy
As much as I would like to see Trump behind bars, and as much as I love that T-shirt, I have to agree that it would be prudent to cool it with the shenanigans.
Cohen does seem to way to focused on hurting Trump. It's bad enough to think he jealous as hell. He's almost like that ex who can't get it out of their head they aren't valued anymore. I doubt he hurts the case as so much has been lined up showing the crimes were committed, but man, enough with this dude. I'm putting him in the annoying man of the century next to Tucker Carlson and Lindsey Graham. They all take a back seat to Marjory, that's Moscow Marjory to be clear!
Plot twist: Cohen throws the trial into a mistrial due to discussing the case during and after
Why would that lead to a mistrial? That makes no sense. More like the judge decides to arbitrarily rule a mistrial because he is corrupt and wants to let a criminal get away without punishment. Like Aileen Cannon.
It's okay Michael, Minstrel singers are gagged too. Just put on a gag before you start talking. It's comedy hour and nothing more.
Michael do not blow it please!!! 😮😮😮
No worries. The defense will make sure the jury knows that Cohen is a convicted perjurer
did you say pretty please
I love Michael Choen, i follow him on tik tok
Support him 💯💯
But now he lying for you our what?
