Hey ladies and gentlemen, it's Carmine Sabia for Explain America and folks, the acquittal

You know things are bad when MSNBC is talking about an acquittal of President Donald Trump
0:24
And what they talked about here is that the defense isn't going for a hung jury anymore
0:29
That Michael Cohen was so devastatingly horrific for the prosecution on the witness stand and
0:34
he's going to have more cross-examination on Monday. So horrific was he for the prosecution that it might lead to an outright acquittal and
0:44
that Trump's attorneys are now looking for an acquittal before they were looking for
0:47
a hung jury. Now they're looking for an acquittal, which would be the final nail in the coffin of Alvin
0:53
Bragg's ridiculous career. You know the career where he doesn't punish real crime but goes after political opponents
0:59
That one? I want you to watch what they said on MSNBC. Naturally, of course, it's not all glowing for President Trump
1:05
They hate him there. But even they had to admit some truth in this piece and I want you to watch it and let me
1:11
know what you think. As always, please remember to like, comment, share and subscribe
1:17
Those things really help us out. I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America
1:22
We love you guys. God bless you. Take care, everybody. Often dramatic cross-examination
1:29
Almost immediately, Trump's attorney asked Cohn whether he had recently gone on TikTok
1:35
and called the defense lawyer Todd Blanch a derogatory term. Cohn was also yelled at by Trump's defense attorney, saying his claim about a 2016 phone
1:47
call at issue in the trial was, quote, a lie. Do you think this cross-examination was damaging and could Cohn's credibility problems sway
1:57
jurors not to convict Trump? It's damaging if the prosecutors can't on redirect give an explanation for it
2:06
Was he just mistaken or was it untruthful? That could be damaging because remember, they want an acquittal
2:13
That's the goal for defense attorneys. But they will be ecstatic if just one juror says not guilty and there's a hung jury
2:20
Now Michael Cohn's cross-examination is still underway. Trump's team will resume questioning Cohn on Monday
2:28
What do you think we can expect next weekend, potentially from closing arguments barring
2:34
any last minute witnesses? Well, there should be closing arguments. If there are not, that means that, well, I don't believe in any world that Donald Trump
2:42
will testify. But if they call defense witnesses, if they do call defense witnesses, that will be a
2:47
gift to prosecutors. Prosecutors can't comment on the defendant not testifying. Prosecutors can't comment on there not being defense witnesses
2:54
But once you call them, then the prosecutors can talk to the jury and say they call these
2:58
incredible people. So assuming there are no defense witnesses, summation should be on Tuesday
3:04
Defense goes first. Prosecutors go last. And that's where you will hear the defense talk about the lying Michael Cohn who went
3:12
rogue with Allen Weisselberg and don't believe this case. And then you'll hear the prosecutors talk about all of the circumstantial evidence that
3:21
goes to guilt and the corroboration of Michael Cohn. Switching gears while I have you
