May 30, 2024 is a day that will live in infamy! Donald Trump became the first former President of the United States to be brought to court on felony charges and have a jury reach a verdict of guilty.

The debates will rage over whether or not this was justice or merely political lawfare.In part 4, we cover the defense witnesses--such as they were. Trump decided not to testify. The judge's restrictions prevented a campaign finance law expert witness from testifying. After one paralegal briefly showed a chart, Robert Costello was the remaining witness.Costello's testimony resulted in the judge almost throwing out his testimony. Shenanigans or court decorum? You decide.Finally, the trial ended with closing arguments: Todd Blanche for the defense went first, and Joshua Steinglass for the prosecution followed.

The Supreme Court on June 14 struck down a federal ban on bump stocks approved by former President Donald Trump. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for a 6–3 court. The court's liberal wing, led by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, dissented. President Trump had pushed for the ban in response to a 2017 mass shooting that killed 58 people at an outdoor music festival in Las Vegas. Hunter Biden has agreed to drop a lawsuit against Rudy Giuliani and Mr. Giuliani's former lawyer, Robert Costello, in which he accused the pair of violating his privacy over data allegedly recovered from his laptop, according to court records. Mr. Biden had accused Mr. Costello and Mr. Giuliani, who has served as a personal lawyer for President Trump, of being responsible for the “total annihilation” of his digital privacy in a lawsuit filed in September of last year. Leaders of the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations turned their attention to artificial intelligence, economic security, and migration on the second and final day of their G7 summit, as their delegations worked on a comprehensive joint communique touching on many of the world's major geopolitical and social challenges. The summit will also see the discussion of financial support for Ukraine, the war in Gaza, climate change, Iran, and the situation in the Red Sea, as well as China's industrial and economic policies. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Trump trial week six recap. Michael Cohen wraps up cross examination. The prosecution rests its case, the defense calls two witnesses, including Robert Costello, and then rests their case. Closing arguments will happen next week. Are finally done???? Will we get a decision next week????

Ahead of Tuesday's closing arguments in the first ever criminal trial of a former president, MSNBC legal analysts Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord detail Tuesday's crushing cross examination of Robert Costello by Susan Hoffinger, and what it means for the defense's attempt to undermine Michael Cohen's credibility. Then, what listeners should infer from the charging conference- as this determines what the jury can deliberate on. And big picture: what each side needs to accomplish in their respective closing arguments.

Trump called his only witness and it was kind of a disaster.The jury of the first ever criminal trial of a former US President will be deliberating soon.

As the verdict loom in the New York case, George Conway and Sarah Longwell get into the consequences of a Trump conviction. They also cover the importance of jury instructions and closing arguments, how media coverage is shaping perception of the trial, and a recap of the witnesses, from Michael Cohen to Robert Costello.

As the only witness of consequence, Donald Trump's lawyers called Robert Costello to testify in Trump's defense. And if it wasn't bad enough that Judge Juan Merchan had to clear the courtroom for Costello's "contemptuous" behavior, the cross-examination of Costello (including with his own emails) also proved to be devastating to Donald Trump's defense.Glenn discusses why most experienced criminal litigators know - it's really much better to put NO witnesses on the stand than to put on a weak or damaging witness in the case.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support us and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The House passed a bill to ban non-citizens from voting in local D.C. election, which opens up a nationwide debate of how and where non-citizens have the access and ability to vote. If non-citizens are crossing the border via illegal means what would prevent them from casting their ballot this November? April fundraising numbers are in and Trump took in $76 million to Bidens $53 million. As Trump is tied up in a NT courtroom the media is forced to cover the news and lately the news has been about inflation, the economy and the border. All of Biden's failures. On the other hand, Trump being stuck in court all day has affected his campaigning. He's only had 3 rallies since this case started compared to 28 in 2016. the actual case is falling apart in real-time as Michael Cohen's testimony contradicted Robert Costello's testimony in relation to Stormy Daniels which completely undermines the credibility of the prosecution's star witness. In a political maneuver, Nikki Haley says she will be voting for Trump, which received an underwhelming response all around.

Judge Merchan went nuclear on ex-lawyer Robert Costello during testimony, ordering the courtroom cleared and throwing the press into the hall.Trump's defense battled Judge Merchan over final jury instructions, hoping to finally get clarity on the criminal elements of the offense.

Tonight on The Last Word: The prosecution rests its case in Donald Trump's criminal trial. Andrew Weissmann, Lisa Rubin, and Adam Klasfeld join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Donald Trump's defense team rested on Tuesday without calling the former President to the stand. But some crucial points were made before the conclusion of Michael Cohen's cross examination that veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord explain in depth. They also weigh in on some courtroom tactics that worked and others that didn't go over well from both the prosecution and the defense. Plus, Andrew and Mary detail some of the gambits used by defense witness Robert Costello that were admonished by Judge Merchan.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 179: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The FIRST item, letter A, on Trump's gag order: "Defendant is directed to refrain from making or directing others to make, public statements about known or reasonably foreseeable witnesses." After the last time – after the last TEN times, to be exact – Justice Juan Merchan was explicit that, next time, he'd have to consider jailing Trump. Well Trump talked about witness Robert Costello – the one whom the judge metaphorically kicked in the gonads as the court day came to a roaring end. AND he talked about witness Michael Cohen and as the judge had ALSO explicitly stated, it didn't matter if he was reading or quoting somebody else's words. If there is any remaining doubt in Merchan's mind that the premise of the Trump defense is not some kind of refutation of the charges but instead an all-out attack on the rule of law, on the judge, on the court, on its authority to dare to thwart Trump – the man who wants to put the “dick” in dictator – he must erase that doubt. This is why the outburst from the witness Robert Costello – an attorney - where he complained about Merchan's rulings in real time – could be the last straw that sends Trump to the big house. That was Trump's witness, the prosecution fought Merchan to keep him out, Merchan sided with the defense, the witness metaphorically spit in Merchan's face.  MEANWHILE: Alito has NOT changed his story again and there is no Democratic politician with the guts to even conduct a hearing into his amazing corruption. But Brian Beutler has a suggestion that could at least illuminate reality and punish Alito and the fascists for his perfidy. B-Block (33:23) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Politico is so corrupt that the boyfriend editor hyping the girlfriend's article doesn't even bother to put it third or fourth on its list. The guy who finished second to Larry Hogan in the GOP Maryland primary? Robin Ficker? Does that sound familiar? And RFK Jr, wrong about his residence and just three presidents of Iran behind the times. C-Block (43:25) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The event was a couple of days ago but there's always time to celebrate not just the birthday of the immortal of Willie Mays but the day he gave a 20-year old me a radio interview that began with him doing a voice out of all the bigoted cliched movies of the 1930's.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There was high drama and tension in the former president's hush money trial on Monday. At one point, Judge Juan Merchan admonished defense witness Robert Costello. According to the court transcript, the judge told Costello “if you try to stare me down one more time, I will remove you from the stand."  New York Times' senior political correspondent Maggie Haberman and former chief judge of the U.S. Middle District Court of Pennsylvania John E. Jones III join AC360 to break down today's proceedings. Plus, Anderson speaks with television host Bill Maher about his new book "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You" and the current state of play for American politics.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Donald Trump broke his vow to testify at his New York Fraud trial today. It hurts to think that he might have been lying all along to everyone. Yesterday the entire courtroom had to be cleared... incredibly, it wasn't Donald who dealt it, it was defense witness, MAGA loon lawyer Robert Costello. The countdown to the verdict now begins. Like at Trump rallies, Gop third string cheerleaders will probably decide to knock off early to beat the traffic home. Probably not the unified Reich that Trump was hoping for. Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is doing a fine job, but who wants to talk about that? We conclude the story of Courtney Gore, former anti-DEI book-banner who realized that billionaires were targeting Texas public education, and is now facing some cancel-culture, Texas MAGA-style. Joan McCarter pops in, and she and David Waldman celebrate living long enough to see filibuster reform on the ballot. Now if they can only reach the era of Supreme Court accountability. If CEOs can't be counted on to make impulsive, ill-considered, short-sided, self-serving decisions on the fly, what good are they?

Trump's lawyers make a bevy of unforced errors as their client continues to march ever closer to a conviction in New York for fraud in concealing the payoff payment to Stormy Daniels. Also, the Supreme Court surprises us, sort of, for now, by not sacking the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and by allowing a Louisiana congressional map to go into effect that doubles the minority representation in that state.   Links: 12 U.S.C. § 5481 et seq. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/12/chapter-53/subchapter-V CFPB Initial Report, July 18, 2011 https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/2011/07/Report_BuildingTheCfpb1.pdf   2023 Pew Research on Payday Loans https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/2023/06/02/payday-loans-and-overdraft-a-short-history-and-whats-next “How Payday Loans Work” https://paydayloaninfo.org/how-payday-loans-work/ Bankrate's Emergency Savings Report https://www.bankrate.com/banking/savings/emergency-savings-report/ Alito protest flag https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/16/us/justice-alito-upside-down-flag.html?smtyp=cur&smid=bsky-nytimes CFPB v.

We are done with another long day of court. The prosecution rested its case against Trump today, and the defense got through a significant portion of its own. If things go according to schedule, the defense will rest tomorrow, and the jury will be excused for the rest of the week, returning after the holiday weekend to hear closing arguments.” You can read more updates here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/05/20/nyregion/trump-trial-hush-money?smid=url-share#ee4f4407-bdd5-55d9-b1cc-8b49e99df75a 5:40pm- Steven Bucci—Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation's Phillip N. Truluck Center for Leadership Development—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss news that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday. Earlier today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin explicitly stated: “the United States had no part to play in that crash.” Bucci notes that Iran may try to blame America or Israel—though, it seems pretty clear this was the result of aged equipment and poor flying conditions. Could this death lead to revolution? Or will Ayatollah Ali Khamenei successfully stifle dissent? Bucci served America for three decades as an Army Special Forces officer and top Pentagon official. 6:05pm- Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker has received outsized media attention after delivering the commencement address at Benedictine College—where he argued the importance of having both parents in the home. Butker also defended the idea that some women, and men, might find raising a family more fulfilling than life in the workplace. 6:15pm- While appearing on PBS's Finding Your Roots, radical progressive Angela Davis found out that her ancestors were Pilgrims that arrived on the Mayflower. 6:20pm- CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten revealed that recent polling shows Donald Trump currently has 22% support among black voters—he was at 9% in 2020. 6:40pm- REPLAY: Mayor Christine Serrano Glassner—Mayor of the Borough of Mendham, New Jersey & Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her campaign and recently being endorsed by former President Donald Trump during his rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, where an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 people were in attendance. Could New Jersey go red in 2024?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- During cross-examination in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial, witness Michael Cohen conceded that he once stole $30,000 from his former employer, the Trump Organization. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig noted that larceny is “more serious of a crime than falsifying business records.” 4:15pm- Reporting from inside the courthouse, New York Times journalist Jonah Bromwich writes: “[Judge Juan Merchan orders that the courtroom be cleared after scolding [former Michael Cohen attorney Robert] Costello.” Several minutes later, journalists and the jury returned to the courtroom.

Gelman explains that Cohen's credibility has been completely destroyed, especially after admitting to stealing tens-of-thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. So, what happens next? Any element of reasonable doubt mandates the jury rule “not guilty”—and clearly there is a lot of doubt. 4:50pm- Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are getting divorced…again!?

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (05/17/2024): 3:05pm- Rich opens the show on a somber note—friend, and frequent listener, Sid Weiss passed away earlier this week. 3:30pm- While appearing before the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Wednesday, Michael Cohen's former attorney Robert Costello accused Cohen of lying during the Donald Trump “hush money” trial. Costello said that Cohen once told him: “I swear to God, Bob, I don't have anything on Donald Trump…I don't have anything on Donald Trump.” You can read more here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/3004761/michael-cohen-lawyer-accuses-lying-trump-trial/ 3:40pm- Reacting to Michael Cohen's testimony in the Donald Trump “hush money” trial on Thursday, CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Cohen had his “knees chopped out” from under him during cross-examination. 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege—preventing the House of Representatives from acquiring audio recordings of an interview the president conducted with Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Hur. In a letter to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), White House counsel Edward Siskel reasoned: “The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal—to chop them up, distort them and use them for partisan political purposes.” 4:15pm- The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes of President Joe Biden's assertion of executive privilege: “The privilege claim is bogus on two grounds. First, once a President waives a privilege right, it can't be reclaimed. Mr. Biden conceded that the interview wasn't privileged, and there's no legal basis to say that a recording is different from a transcript. Even if Mr. Biden had first claimed privilege over the interview, that wouldn't pass legal muster because the interview subject didn't concern his presidential duties or White House deliberations. It concerned his handling of documents while in the Senate, as Vice President, or as a private citizen. Mr. Siskel's claim that the goal is to protect the Justice Department's ‘law enforcement investigations' also doesn't work. Such a claim of law-enforcement privilege typically attends to a continuing investigation, but Mr. Hur's work is complete. He has filed his report and closed up shop.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/joe-biden-executive-privilege-recordings-robert-hur-interview-edward-siskel-265ab86b?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 4:40pm- A Thursday House of Representative Subcommittee hearing devolved into total chaos when Republican Marjorie Taylor Green exchanged insults with Democrats Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Jasmine Crockett.

Michael Cohen collapsed under cross-examination as he struggled to explain his constantly changing story and multiple contradictions, even admitting that his "smoking gun" phone call was also about something else!Michael Cohen's ex-lawyer Robert Costello confirmed that Bragg Prosecutors buried exculpatory evidence related to Michael Cohen's claims during the Trump grand jury proceedings. Now, after Cohen's testimony, even CNN cannot deny the truth about Michael Cohen's credibility.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, the Biden campaign thinks they are clever – agree to and give conditions for a Presidential debate to try and change the subject from inflation, high gas prices, housing costs, interest rates, and pro-Hamas college students. Biden wants to control the debate setting and control how the questions are answered. There should be some conditions placed on Biden like the debate must be before his bedtime at 6 pm and he needs to leave his false teeth at home. CNN announced Jake Tapper and Dana Bash as moderators for the debate. Tapper is not a journalist and Bash is just as bad. Out of all the moderators they pick these two? Later, Robert Costello, Michael Cohen's former lawyer, testified to Congress about Cohen's lies to the grand jury. Cohen is a master manipulator; he creates the crisis and then tries to fix it. Also, we see what Benjamin Netanyahu is up against. Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran they can defeat. They can't defeat a backstabbing president who's doing everything he can to destroy Israel. Finally, Biden plans an executive order to shut down the border once crossings reach 4,000 per day, despite saying he needs Congress to act. Biden has had years to close this border, it's too late now, millions of illegals are here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
