We are following breaking news this morning in Midtown Manhattan.
That's where Donald Trump is making our campaign stop,
right before the start of his third day of testimony
in his hush money trial.
Yeah, it's the start of a very busy day for
the former president.
Our Robert Moses will be with him at every stop,
beginning bright and early this morning in Midtown.
Robert
Curtain, Rosanna Yes, The former
president's motorcade just departed. I want to show you
some video from earlier, just a few minutes ago,
as he was greeting his supporters here at 48th and
Park.
We're right in the shadow of the new JP Morgan
Chase headquarters.
The former president made this early morning campaign stop,
he says, to highlight how union workers have been hurt
by President Joe Biden's economic policies.
He posed for some selfies.
He signed plenty of autographs.
A couple hundred of his supporters were here to greet
him.
Afterwards, he came over and I asked him if he
plans to testify in his own defense in his hush
money trial.
Are you going to testify,
Mr. Trump? Are you planning to testify?
Sure, I'll testify, even if your lawyers tell you not
to.
I don't care. I did nothing wrong.
Everybody knows it's a political witch hunt.
It's election interference. That's all.
Let us. Thank you everybody.
And the former president will be heading downtown to his
criminal trial again in just a few minutes.
His attention today, understandably, will be divided between really three
places,
New York City, Washington, DC,
and Arizona.
Arizona's attorney general announced the indictments of Rudy Giuliani,
former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows,
and the fake electors who schemed to keep Donald Trump
in power even though he lost the state in 2020
to Joe Biden by more than 10,000 votes.
Boris Epstein, a legal adviser to the former president,
was also indicted. Authorities say the accused pressured those responsible
for certifying election results in Arizona to change them.
Chris Mays, the Democratic attorney general,
spoke in a recorded video.
I understand for some of you today didn't come fast
enough,
and I know I'll be criticized by others for conducting
this investigation at all.
But as I have stated before and will say here
again today,
I will not allow American democracy to be undermined.
It's too important. Former President Trump was not charged,
but was named as an unindicted Co conspirator.
He'll be back in Criminal Court in Lower Manhattan today
as his hush money trial resumes.
Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is expected back on
the stand for a third day In Washington,
the Supreme Court will hear arguments on the former
president's assertion that he is immune from prosecution for trying
to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
He had wanted to attend those arguments,
but Judge Juan Mershon is requiring him to be here
for his trial.
He's a very conflicted judge,
and he's not going to allow us to go to
that.
He won't allow me to
leave here for half a day,
go to DC and go before the United States Supreme
Court
because he thinks he's superior,
I guess, to the Supreme Court.
Late yesterday, the judge dealt the former president another defeat.
He quashed the defense's subpoena for documents related to a
documentary about Stormy Daniels,
as well as her communications with several other likely witnesses,
including the former president's longtime fixer,
Michael Cohen and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.
Marshawn called the subpoena over Broad
another live look here outside the Chase headquarters,
the future Chase headquarters as some of the former
president's supporters remain now. We talked plenty about the former
president.
What about the current president?
Well, Joe Biden is going to be in our area
today as well.
He will be in Westchester County tonight at the home
of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones for a fundraiser.
We're live in Midtown this morning,
Rosanna and Kirk, back to you.
All right. Thank you very much,
Robert.
