Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and the judge in Donald Trump's
0:07
case against Alvin Bragg with Stormy Daniels as a witness, the hush money trial as it's called
0:12
well that just got a shockwave. Before we get started please make sure you like, comment

0:23
to grow. Judge Juan Merchant has been no friend to Donald Trump. He's pretty much done everything
0:29
the prosecution wants and allowed nothing the defense wants and that has continued here with
0:36
what I think is one of the biggest travesties in legal history. You have to understand first of
0:42
all we're talking about a class C, class C felony, I'm sorry class E felony. It's the lowest form of
0:49
felony that they had to do gymnastics basically, mental gymnastics to put together to begin with
0:54
to create a felony. And now anybody who's seen My Cousin Vinny knows prosecutors have to turn
1:01
over their files including witness lists to the defense. But this judge has ruled that Alvin
1:08
Bragg's team does not have to do that. Gosh I wonder why people think he's biased you know
1:15
what with his daughter working for campaigns like Adam Schiff and Biden Harris. Why do they think
1:20
this judge is biased? I don't know. Every decision appears to go against Trump. That may be a reason
1:26
I want you to take a look at what they talked about here on Fox News and they explain it in
1:30
great detail and then let me know what you think. As always please remember to like, comment

1:42
Maybe some AI. Right and I think what this is reflecting is why Trump and his team have so
1:47
many questions about the impartiality of these jurors and also frankly the judge. And I find it
1:52
intriguing that while the jurors were supposed to take them at their word when they say oh yes I can
1:56
be impartial but then we're supposed to ignore if they've said negative things about his persona
2:01
Now the judge has been clear not liking him as separate from being impartial but that's hard to
2:06
hear and that's hard to digest as a human when you're raising questions and then when that is
2:11
phrased as attacking as we just heard. I find it frankly absolutely unacceptable that the judge
2:16
won't let or will approve the prosecution withholding the witness names from the Trump team
2:22
Their explanation was well we don't want him to attack them on social media. Doesn't the gag order
2:27
work? Isn't there enough faith in the court system? Shouldn't that be the barrier in place? Why are we
2:34
having to listen to a prosecutor's words over and over again that seem to weigh so much more heavily
2:39
rather than a defendant's when you know quite well Kayleigh in the system it actually
2:42
always favors the defendant. That's the whole point here. We always favor and protect the
2:47
defendant. Clearly not here. I have a lot of questions and I'll just close by saying I find it
2:53
another additionally intriguing that it took six years for these charges to be brought and
2:58
juries and paneled in two days. There's a lot of questions that I have. These two men started
3:03
inching toward each other in the political game David. So you know I have to call it lawfare
3:10
I have served on a jury in New York City Manhattan and in in that instance there were several people
3:20
who were very eager with a lot of time on their hands to be on that jury and it was a little
3:28
unnerving. There was an acquittal though however in that case. I want to note quickly James Freeman's
3:34
