obviously michael cohen is another. it seems to be moving at a brisk pace, and more likely than not charges appear to be on the horizon. >> alyssa farah griffon is also with us. how is news of stormy daniels involvement likely being received by the former president and his legal team? >> this is basically the worst news that trump world could be getting right now. not to get into the crass politic of it, but i will, you know, ron desantis is gaining on trump right now. the latest cnn polling has him within the margin of error of donald trump. and the sense in the trump world for some time if you'd said a couple months ago if this case was one he was even focused on they would say no. how rapidly the d.a. decided to move forward and pick back up a case many in trump world thought was settled and not going to be pursued is coming to the forefront as something creating a lot of unease. i think there's a lot of exposure here. the paper trail has always been there and trump world is worried about it. >> what does it tell you

now lanny davis, attorney from michael cohen is back with me. and obviously lanny and i spoke last night on the news of the indictment. so you just heard jim trustee. he's very confident he thinks they're going to be able to get this case dismissed. based on your exposure to this grand jury, your client's exposure, obviously, and the evidence in this case that you are aware of beyond your client, michael cohen, do you think that there is a chance of motion to dismiss could be successful very small because there's so much factual dispute on the material issues doesn't deprive a jury of making a decision. a motion to dismiss is a decision to deprive a trial by jury. and that's a very high standard. as a lawyer. it's very rare that a judge will deny a jury the right to decide factual disputes. i do want to correct the record. it's very important that i do. so you seem to respect this gentleman. i don't know him. who is the defense attorney for mr trump, but he got a basic fact wrong and he probably knows better and just didn't just misspoke. nobody

i mean, costello , uh, was casting doubt on michael cohen's testimony, michael cohen had said this was hush money payment was paid in order to not have some bad news come out that could damage trump in the election. costello saying , well, michael cohen told me it was, you know michael cohen's idea, and it was to avoid melanie trump being upset. so this testimony, i think was very important to shore up the credibility of michael cohen's testimony that the payments were related to the campaign. that's the most significant testimony and that david pecker has to offer. am i where he worked entered into a nonprosecution agreement with the federal government several years ago when they were initially investigating michael cohen for these payments, and in that nonprosecution agreement, and i agreed that these were campaign related expenditures. so as part of that agreement is that does he have to show up to testify. he has to be cooperative, and so it it. presumably the federal government is asking him to be cooperative with other prosecutors as well, as i mean, does indictment. over the wee

michael cohen is far from solid evidence. >> well, michael cohen was also at the court today on standby in case he needed to respond to costello. he was never called, but he did tell my colleague that costello's claims were false. >> it's absolutely not true. i don't know what conversations he is referring to. he is making up so many stories here because he is playing to a party of one. he is doing what everybody does. as all of this plays out, new york authorities are preparing for the possibility of an indictment. a source tells nbc news that secret service would accompany trump throughout that process and do everything possible to keep him out of public view. house republicans are watching this closely, and half, of course, rallied to defend trump, while tearing him to manhattan da, alvin bragg. congressman jim jordan implied without any evidence whatsoever that there were political motives for brags investigation. >> president trump announced he was going to run for president again, and suddenly, here they go, now they're coming after him for some alleged bookkeeping error. you've g
