- CNN’s Erica Hill speaks with the former attorney for Michael Cohen, Lanny Davis, about Judge Juan Merchan telling Michael Cohen to stop talking about the Trump hush money trial ahead of his upcoming testimony. #CNN #News
Don't worry, the judge will give you 11 warnings before doing anything...
111
Yea!
Good one!!!
Many of your comrades seem to be devastated that Jack Smith won't be able to run the trial before the election - they believe this is the strongest case against Trump. I don't think the Court is impressed that the prosecutors mishandled the evidence?
And let's not forget Fani Willis... I shouldn't laugh... cough
Great point!😄
Ok, so that means Michael Cohen has nine more times to talk about the trial. Right judge? 😂😅
What does that mean? When you are on trial that’s when you need first amendment rights MOST? You think defendemts shouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves?! Good lord.
He can talk about the trial as much as he wants. He’s not under a gag order. It’s just reckless and he endangers the prosecutions case when he does so.
@@RM-jb2bvTrump, can certainly exercise his 1st amendment rights, but he needs to do that under oath. He won’t be permitted to threaten jurors and witnesses as he has been doing.
No 11, the judge did not tell him directly.
@@mkay3310what was the threat he actually made to them ?
I recently watched Cohen on Meidas Touch political beatdown. Cohen made certain that he never discussed Trump but did say he had anxiety about testifying. That’s all.
Except he wore a shirt with Trump behind bars showing his intention is just to say whatever to make that happen/
He's also said that he wants trump to be held accountable because that's what he deserves, not because he wants revenge. Going to prison and losing all of the ill-gotten gains he has enjoyed should be the natural consequence of his actions, just as it was, and still is, for Michael.
If you have seen his podcast with Ben Meiselas he stopped speaking about the trial last month. In fact the whole Von Schitzinpantz was first said last December after Adam Kinzinger said Trump smelled and after Trump would make that gross groaning weight lifting motion. Which he doesn’t seem to be now. Thank God! It was gross
Please defend the indefensible 😂😂😂
Dear jenn respectfully I’d rather have a president that has good policy on crime, the border avoiding foreign wars, good economic policy, etc. etc. even if he smells bad someone that smells good and totally lacks leadership with failing policy. It’s time we vote on what matters and stop wearing about. Who may send mean tweets smell funny look funny those things mean nothing jenn I respect all contrasting Success always! Dr. D.
When Michael Cohen comes on the Meidas Touch network he is very careful to NOT discuss the trial. I am beginning to wonder about CNN and why they are making misleading videos like this
You love Cohen? Is he a hero of the left?
Yesss! Its so f___ed up!!! Its so wrong..
Like Cohen needs this s_it!!!
That's how full of crap CNN is
Agree, he is very cautious since beginning. The judge was just telling him to watch it. They're kind of making a big deal about it
hang on, before we get all conspiratorial, is it true or not that cohen made that video wearing the trump in jail shirt AFTER his MT appearance?
they just interviewed cohens lawyer and he agreed cohen needs to tone it down. What exactly is misleading about this video?
People should watch Midas Touch instead of CNN to get good information on the Trump trial
That's an opinion network
Keep talking Michael Cohen! Force Merchan’s hand. If he won’t jail Trump, then he can’t jail you. Dude, you have at least 10 chances to burn!
He couldn't anyways. Michael Cohen is not the criminal defendant, unlike Trea45on, and has the 1st Amendment. I don't know why the judge said this, but Cohen stopped on his own about a month ago. 😊
@GraceMarie-cs2kk, I'm sure Michael Cohen realizes he doesn't have that kind of pull to tangle with Judge Juan Merchan in a court of law. The individual who resides in the state of Florida thinks his previous position, having served, gives him the authority to push the gag order issue to incite his MAGA supporters to do something drastic in the process. The sooner his egotistical & narcissistic mindset finds out that nobody is above the law of the land. The better he wants things to move right along with his hush money courtroom trial in the state of New York.
That's why the judge okay use your buddy whatever he needs to make a statement by putting you in jail and that way all the public will be absolutely out there's not going to be riot they'll be absolute respect thinking well okay he didn't get away with anything then and then that will tell the rest of the country all the criminals that okay well fun's over now looks like the the judge took is taken to stand and he's done being mocked and laughed at too
@@lbthingsstuffmore9513 I know, but… it would be fun to watch and make vonShitzinpants squirm in his gooey diaper.

Interesting fantasy you have pretty fly. Very telling.
Mr. Cohen will do the right thing, for himself, his family, our country.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 are you trolling?
@@RM-jb2bvTrump isn't arguing that he's innocent, he's arguing that he has a right to be a criminal. And he will and has been given the right to be a criminal already.
@@retrogal1520 what crime, lol? The prosecution hasn’t even named the crime. Any day now I’m sure
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Cohen hasn’t said a thing about Trump in over a month. Pay attention maybe?
If it weren’t for you what would we have. I can only assume you are blind and deaf!
are you serious? this story here, the one with him wearing the Trump shirt... ? happened yesterday, kiddo. he posts every night about Trump.
He has been on Tiktok begging for money and claiming he is going to get Trump.... Pay attention
That's a ton of B's he has been making big money on sights bashing trump u need to wake up
@user-mj4zk3bo8v , Good! He went to prison already for this exact case! He's not on trial, and, uh, Michael Cohen has the 1st Amendment. Trump is a criminal defendant who has a gag order for his threats! See the difference?
Get him Stormy …
Thanks for your service Stormy 😂😂😂
Stormy is a new face of the Democratic Party, I think she will lead them to the finish line....I love it.
😂😂😂😂😂.......'get him' ?............ok.
stormy daniels gets a lot of guys, just look her name up u can see her sleep with hundreds of them. crazy this the word ya’ll takin as the truth.
@@byronpietersz3455 Anti-Christ Donald Trump the Pied Piper of Sinners and Demons.
Very few people are going to come forward like Stormy and Michael Cohen. They have both been through some rough times due to their connection to Trump.
Name someone who hasnt...the entire population!
Everybody “comes forward” and they all want money. Both Stormy and Cohen have been running towards the cameras.
Rough times? Ones been in Jail, a convicted criminal - the other owes Trump $300 000, after been Sue by Trump.
I don't know. I'd be pretty happy if I could collect 130k in exchange for an agreement that I had no plans to abide by anyways.
WTF???
Michael has been very cautious from the beginning. He's got this. He knows exactly what is at stake 🇺🇲🌎
God I hope so. I would lose my mind if he says anything that can help Trump on appeal!
Be careful what you ask for. You need your mind for many other things.
I love that he's stirring up the PAB!!!
😂😂👍👍
The judge has to be fucking kidding me. He let off Trump with TEN TIMES with NO PUNISHMENT AT ALL. And now the judge is putting his dirty thumb on the scale against Michal Cohen. This fucking judge has some attitude.
Yow
Behave
SNL look no further- material for sketches--> 1. Lawyer Necklace 2. RFKs worm 3. Stormy weather 4. Court reporter sketches 5. Cricket is no going back
Trump ,s mad cause his diapers aint selling.
*typo. ‘smelling’
He should start selling his dirty diapers to his sycophants. I’m sure they will pay a lot.
I bought 2 MAGA bibles (only $59 each) and got a free Red MAGA hat, which I wear every day . The best thing I have ever bought!
@@MarkSmith-pb2ly That’s a good move, so people can see you coming.
It should not be forgotten, that it was during Cohens appearance before congress, that AOC asked whether or not trump should be investigated for financial (tax) crimes, and Cohen said yes.
Leteita James heard that testimony, and started her investigation into the trump org.
Absolutely‼️
Was this before or after Trump told Cohen he was not going to have a job at the white house?
@@TheRealTommyShelby After I think. That doesn't mean Trump isn't guilty. Cohen went to jail for the same crime.
Well Letitia James never charged him with any crime, so I guess that shows you how credible michael cohen is.
@@heemlo649 Allan Weisselberg is now a convicted felon. trump owes almost 1/2 BILLION dollars, is barred from running his business in NY. And DA Bragg is likely going to convict him in the falsifying records case. So, I would say Michael Cohen was pretty credible.
Why would Cohen have a gag order? He isn't the criminal defendant here! I'm so sick of trump pissing his pants and everyone bending over backwards to change his diaper for him! Enough already!
Because the judge is to impotent to put Trump in jail and the judge is afraid Trump will break his gag order in response to Cohen, making his job harder. The judge is a coward snowflake. The judge needs to SHUT THE FUCK UP and STOP CLOWNING AROUND. Cohen isn't on trial. He has zero authority to even give his fucking opinion.
Because it is sub judicis. Got it?
I agree, judges have too much power to gag free individuals
Stop talking out of Trump's pants, that is called sexual harassment. Alpha male President Trump is far too busy saving Democracy and Rule of Law for us, to give you the time of day. Besides he is a faithful loving married husband, so leave
him alone and rather find yourself some Soy-boy!
Why not? He gave Trump a gag order. Both are presumed innocent.
If donald trump is so innocent to his maga cult crazies, trump should take the stand in his own defense. “Individual One”, must be held accountable, no matter the outcome. Let the jury, make their call, when all is said and done.
Hey Mr. Trump, how about take the stand like a real man, instead of BS?
He’s not that courageous.😏
It's a set up, no, don't take that stand Mr. President, fascists Democrats will tweest every word you gonna say and lie about what you said, just like they always do. Stay strong...
JillStein 2024💚🙏🏿☮️🕎☪️✝️
Say no to Joe Butcher in November.👎🏿
Nobody with a brain takes the stand. You never know how the prosecution will twist you up. Last resort only
What is the crime if you know baby 🍼 boy
I have (and LOVE) that t-shirt Michael’s wearing!!! 🔩 YOU, Orange Satan! 🤠
Cohen have to be the better person
THE ADULT IN THE HOUSE
DONT WANT HIM TO MESS UP THIS TRIAL he’s going to have plenty time FOR THAT
I'm rooting for Cohen but he really should show better judgement and just shut up. I get that he's a pugnacious kind of guy but he should take the high road. This isn't the time to be chasing clout.
He is!!!
Convicted Liar
lied for trump.
He was Trump's hatchet man for years, fuck Cohen.
@@QuantumOfSolace1 For the fat guy, now its Trumps turn to be convicted.
Cohen should refrain from commenting until after the trial. Take the high ground Micheal, don’t lower to Trumps level or risk jeopardising the trial.
Cohen is a convicted felon and a serial perjurer. You dope.
Yeah, Michael, explain to the jury why they should send your client to jail for following your legal advice. Oh wait 🤔
I think he did stop any appearances before the trial began, places I regularly saw him giving his opinions have not had him on for a few weeks now.
So you agree the case is nothing without a liar testifying?
@@flubalubaful He's been raising money on tik tok talking about the trial. So no. He hasn't shut up.
The judge agreed to quit playing pocket pool over Stormy if Cohen shuts up.
He stopped discussing the trial weeks ago.
Agree be quiet
With the Supreme Court being 6-3 right-wing, Trump's appeal to them will almost certainly end up being overturned because of some silly loophole. Cohen and the whole prosecution has to be perfect... and then that still might not be enough for Trump to eventually weasel out of any accountability.
"Judge tells Michael Cohen to stop discussing trial. His former attorney weighs in" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO
Such a depressing demeanor. Misery loves company. The only thing that motivates him is money. So sad…
I believe M Cohen will stop mentioning Trump.
Not mentioned Drump or been seen in publics since the trial began.
He has een...the reporting is wrong!!!
Where do we get the tee shirt?
Looks like a best seller!
🌊🌊🌊2024
The Judge is right.
F no he isn't
Recreate transcripts with actors. Motion denied, Motion denied. Election finance law top expert. Denied. Pomerantz pleading the fifth, the previous prosecutor motion denied. Motion denied. But State can have surprise witness with half day notice. Wow. Biggest kangaroo court ever. Most important case ever.Jack Smith tampered with evidence. All cases imploded. Indite every democrat running for office and fake news reporter in republican states. Taste of their own medicine with no spoon full of sugar. Better whisk him away to Epstein prison you can't debate issues.
My opinion of Stormy, from the first time I saw her in an interview was that she is unquestionably FABULOUS! There are a myriad of admirable traits that have only compounded as time has passed. She is someone I would be blessed to call a friend. IF I ever held pre conceived notions because of her occupation, and I'd like to think I'm not that shallow, I have none now. She has been "seen" AND appreciated for her intelligence, strength, humor, and overall goodness that is rare in our society. Keep doing you Stormy! You're an incredible example to be emulated, with or without the career choice. 🥰 Much love 💖
How many times has Cohen attempted to intimidate those associated with the Court, through death threats?
Thats been Trump and his cult ! All the millions of threats to people (and their precious families), powder mailings, swatting calls, attacks on FBI and police officers, etc is beyond baffling !
Lmao, the judges job is to put a gag order on him, not the prosecutor.
Please Michael, save it for Court. Keep your eye on the ball. Don’t blow it for ALL OF US - we are all wanting what you want :Justice to finally be served. 🙏
Democrats are communist
He already blew it. He will get grilled by the defense. Jury will find out he is a convicted perjurer
He blew it😂
🤣🫵🏼🤡
I like a president that is not mentally competent to stand trial for his own crimes.
I think it's important to remember when the same thing happens in a different position to be able to make sure that they will do something like this
They couldn’t wait until after the trial to sell merchandise?
Cohen will go into lawyer mode and defense chick, if she cross examines him, will need to stay on her toes b/c I'm pretty sure he'll want to make her look foolish and inept if he can. For him, that would be the cherry on top.
The witnesses are brave to stand up to trump
Cohen can say whatever he wants, he is not on trial nor under any gag order!! 👍
No, only Trump has no 1st Amendment rights, per this DNC Judge and all of you double standard Biden buttwipes.
Where have you been? Cohen has stopped talking about Trump weeks ago. He has completely stopped talking about d podcasting about Trump before being asked not to talk about him.
ffs cohen what are you doing? why would you wear that shirt when you know how precarious your credibility is as a witness.
so the judge is telling a witness what to say and what to not say
When will the prosecution tell us what form a reimbursement to your attorney must be filed if not under Legal Fees?
So why not a gag order?
Surprising how you make a face at the word “fair trial” like it’s too much to ask. But I am also surprised at myself for being surprised at CNN host doing that.
CNN, the judge didn't warn, he asked.
Get the facts right.
He in fact did warn. Get the facts straight.
Know what keeps me up at night? Jrr #2 gets his news from truthsocial.
Michael Cohen refrained from discussing the case on podcasts, as soon as the trial began. But, he had ads on TikTok of a T-shirt with Trump behind bars in orange. The Defense showed it to the Judge.
So why aren't these witness intimidators being prosecuted?
Michael please don't give them any reason for a miss trail.
I thought he had stopped talking about the trial and DT.? I must have missed something (Twitter posts?). At least that is what he said he would do on his podcasts. Maybe I am being naive.
Would hope that he knows better to give the defense any possible means to further delay, or potentially jeopardise, the trial - of which his life has been consumed by for many years - as acknowledged in both his books. 🤦🤷♂🙄
I support him! 100%!
Does anyone in the legal community know what form a payment to an extortionist must be filed?
I looked, the tee shirt Michael’s wearing in this clip is no longer available on the Meidas touch website. If it ever was. Maybe he’s selling it personally?
I'll Get My Visits!
I bet Stormy won’t be visiting him.
CNN is more critical of Cohen than Trump. I'm so sick of it!
If u watch cnn you would know that’s not true, cohen has been on cnn several occasions leading up to this trial, meanwhile trump is bashed on here 24/7
Judge “directs” Michael Cohen to not…
That shirt has been out for a year. This is old news.
You mean gag order when judge says stop talking.
I watched a video of Fox News how Mickey Cohn is trash talking about Mr Trump, the presenter then said in her own words started to say Mr Trump can’t trash talk about them but quickly changed it to defend himself.
So What ! What about Trumps Treats ? Everyday ! Stormy your done!!!🎭
Thank you for honest reporting.
Cohen lied for Trump and went to jail for Trump. Its time Trump spent time in prison for his crimes.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
When u threaten other folks they will speak out.
Did name callin Donnie get upset when people started calling him #VONSCHITZINPANZ ???
And if trump was truly presidential, he'd calm this, but he does not, in fact he incites it. For that alone he deserves punishment.
Fun fact, Stormy owes president Trump over 700k.
Fun fact, Trump owes more than half a billion dollars in civil judgments.😊
Fun Fact: Trump owes E Jean Carrol 98 MILLION and Trump owes Latitia James 490 MILLION.
I think Soros the putz will pay it off with Bill Gates...
@@PeterSedesse Fun fact, both will be overturned on appeal.
Fun fact she will never pay a dime.
Lanny Davis, the ultimate Clinton fixer ? Lanny probably has Bill's cigars and speed dial to Jeffrey.
The judge is conflicted defence will save you donny ,get up snd testify!!😂😂😂
When has he continued to speak out????
I'm a bit dubious that a connection between Trump and Weisselberg can be made - who will corroborate that Trump gave instructions or approved classifying the payment as Legal Expense. Or is that irrelevant given the fact that the transaction was indeed classified as Legal Expense - all Cohen needs to do is show the transaction was not for Legal Expenses.
Witnesses are not under a gag order.
No matter what side of the fence you sit on, its like kids in the playground throwing stones at each other and calling each other names. Whats the fun in show and tell? FFS save it for the court room and use it wisely.
Lanny and Uncle Garland should have told him that years ago
People get threats all the time I don’t see why this is news
This case is falling apart like the rest.
Yes I agree, for Trump.
@@freddiegrigson4463 For the establishment.
As usual for the dem party. Rules for thee not for me. So what else is new?
Personally, I want justice to always be served. I have to say this court involved with this case is truly a kangaroo court From what we’ve seen today, May 21 2024 The judge is totally unhinged and hes headed for fiery demise in connection with his career as a judge. The facts are coming out. The judge does not like to hear the facts so he’s becoming increasingly upset and taking it out on witnesses is unethical.
It's okay Michael, Minstrel singers are gagged too. Just put on a gag before you start talking. It's comedy hour and nothing more.
Don't talk about it. Take your lumps. We are the government.
Why do I feel like I'm in Africa?
Is CNN turning into Fox 2.0?
You don’t like the fact that they are being somewhat transparent?
@@TheRealTommyShelby i’ll refer you to the opening when she starts discussing an image captured from TicToc. They lost all credibility as serious news when they did that. Fox does it all the time, so the question is a valid one. But since she ’s so interested in Gag orders... Maybe they should discuss tge gag order Cohen was on when he was a defendant in that BS trial he went away for 7 years on. Maybe they should discuss the gag order rebecca jones was put on when she was arrested. She wasn’t allowed to post anything, she wasn’t allowed to talk to the press at all.
He is a former lawyer. He knows that this is not good because he comes off as a vindictive person and will say anything to get retribution against 45.
did you say pretty please
As much as I would like to see Trump behind bars, and as much as I love that T-shirt, I have to agree that it would be prudent to cool it with the shenanigans.
I love Michael Choen, i follow him on tik tok
A little too late I think (?)
OK stormy Daniel's show proof of all these threats are real and not made up.
Didn't Trump throw Michael under the bus?
But now he lying for you our what?
This woman is just really pushing this this man to just say some crap just trumpy for trumpy
*What a freaking joke! He lets Cohen savage Trump on social media for three weeks while gagging Trump - then says 'oh, please don't do it anymore this weekend!*
Drill baby drill
Michael do not blow it please!!! 😮😮😮
No worries. The defense will make sure the jury knows that Cohen is a convicted perjurer
You got them this time Dems! After 9 years of failing, the walls are closing in! Haha yah right
You know, Michael Cohen isn’t too different than DT. Temperamentally speaking. I would still support him but, he is a piece of work. But, I’m a west coaster and the New York way of dealing with stuff is abrasive to me. Not bad, but different.
Support him 💯💯
