his one of his former financial managers, allen weisselberg, is also expected to testify. so we have to remember that michael cohen has already been accused four very similar crimes related to this hush money payment. and he was actually convicted and served time. we should expect donald trump's team to go hello, after michael cohen and to try to challenge and question his credibility. but i think what's most important about what's going to happen in that state court today in manhattan is that for the very first time someone who's running for president, someone who has been president is going to have to face 12 jurors and try to explain to them why he should not be found guilty of a crime his credibility, his ability, i think to convince those voters, particularly those independent voters, that he should be reelected is on the line. so this trial is much bigger than just criminal charges. it really probably holds the fate of his political campaign as well >> if he is found guilty, he could still run though, couldn't he? and perhaps not lose much support because a lot of hi

trump cfo allen weisselberg. he was involved in the payments in which cohen made. the images may look familiar because over the course of 2017 trump sent cohen several checks that they called for retainer or tax purposes and what's bad for defendant trump is while he might be a busy president and he might be a busy business owner, he was personally signing all of these checks himself. the d.a. alleges that put the trump organization on the hook to then false phi records and call what were payments to an external party, quote, legal fees. now in business you can't just pay a and call it something for b. if anyone could do that all the time, well, you wouldn't have any taxes paid or accurate records. all of this came out when the wall street journal broke the original story in 2018. donald trump lied. in his first public comments he first claimed he didn't know what was going on when he was intimately involved in this for years. we have the tape showing that that's why i can accurately, carefully and clearly call it a lie and then he went on to blame his lawyer. >> m
