it was very odd that he said that today, michael cohn, it was an attorney he submitted in an invoice and they put the payment to him on the books. when he said i think he was referring to the trump organization so he could distance himself like he knew nothing about this. the problem with donald trump doing that is and this is in the indictment and the da said this in their opening the statement, donald trump signed the checks to michael cohen and allegedly they came out of the donald j. trump account. so the whole press conference was a bit of a i think a pr disaster because it's going to hurt him in court eventually. and so the jury and he came out, he does that eight minutes, jeremy talking, of course, in the courtroom what else did to you? i stopped you. i know you mentioned that he was passing notes to his attorneys at time that he was engaged you know, what we're what moore's interactions like with his team and with the jury yeah. >> it's interesting because when his attorney, todd blanche went to speak, trump's demeanor, it's shifted. he turned his chair, he faced he faced him
