prosecutors under the trump administration, trump's justice department said it was illegal and illegal in a way to benefit from's campaign. it benefited from's campaign specifically because the payments came right after the news of the access hollywood tape broke and if you remember, trump is the weakest he has ever been as a candidate. one more scandal like say a secret affair with a trained 40 star while his wife was taking care of their kid would've actually ended his campaign, one of the great counterfactual's in american history. what happened? trump had kellan pay stormy daniels to pay quite, michael cohen pleaded guilty to the charges and others. he went to prison before every year before securing home confinement during the covid pandemic. again, this is all just on the record, this is all established. for all of trump's gravity defying him probables, and believe me, covering him for a while now, there have been many, legal or otherwise, you know somewhere deep down he is just a scared 77-year-old man. you know, toughest guy i've ever met notwithstanding. he's also someone that

trump now, after this announcement, he wrote online -- how much of a political problem is for trump within the republican side? >> i think this is just a total mess. the more they keep talking about it the worse they are going to make it. take lindsey graham's position, for decades the position of those who oppose roe v. wade was we leave it up to the states. it took ten minutes after roe v. wade was overturned for people like lindsey graham to call for a federal ban. what trump is doing is saying, the states can choose to have the most extreme position banning abortion that they like. you can completely ban abortion. it's not where the country is. there's a surprising degree of a majority opinion on this that overwhelmingly, around 70% believe that abortion should be safe and legal and available. he is the guy that overturned roe v. wade. he says that. i think it's going to continue to be a huge issue in this campaign. >> simone, how much of this announcement and his reaction to the announcement is going to be playing going towards november? how does it play into the democrats' strategy?
