Andrew Weissmann, former top prosecutor at the Justice Department, Susanne Craig, New York Times Investigative Reporter, Vaughn Hillyard, NBC News Correspondent join Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House with live reaction to the Michael Cohen cross-examination, which is showing flaws in the competence of Trump’s defense team, and shows how his lawyers are playing more to appeasing their client then trying to get their client acquitted by a jury.

  • keeping his eyes closed is the typical way a narcissist acts in a room he has no control of. Its his way of shutting out what he cant control.
  • @sarahjoe61
    It's like a toddler!! Having his eyes shut is like he is just pretending like he isn't there. That it is not happening.... What a pathetic person he is. Time for a large dose of accountability!!!
  • @Dovietail
    I just LOVE Andrew Weissmann. His last name is so phonetically accurate! 😘
  • @chrystya
    The more Trump is telling his lawyers how to try to the case, the more he ensures his conviction
  • @paulwilson2542
    Andrew Weissmann demonstrates every time he speaks how intellect CAN evolve into intelligence AND (in rare cases) into WISDOM. HE is absolutely an American…..a human treasure 😳😳👏👏👍
  • @heideleskun1163
    I was a juror on an attempted murder trial and the defendant sat with his back to the judge and jury Yes that is an act of defiance which jurors see and is plays a HUGE factor in decision making. Like it or not, we notice disrespect from the defendant.

    Toddlers close their eyes to pretend they don't see you
  • @user-st7qh2bn3j
    I just love Andrew Weissman: brilliant, and such a mensch. You can tell he loves to teach.
  • @7scientist
    Garland's failure to investigate Barr's interference in the Cohen prosecution looks pretty bad right now.
  • @anthill7774
    One day soon I hope he will open his eyes and see a Jail cell.
  • @MeloLunaPlays
    I think Cohen deserves a lot more credit for coming forward and for standing up to Trump. Look how Congress grovels for Trump, I think what Michael is doing shows integrity and patriotism.
  • Mr Cohen is a very credible witness and I thank him for his honesty and candor 🙏👏⚖️☮️
  • @kkendell954
    Love Nicolle and Andrew…great combo on TV
  • @bbpete8349
    Andrew Weissmann is always so on-point and I look for him on every MSNBC show he's on! On with Nicole Wallace's show is so great every time! I don't ever miss Deadline: WhiteHouse (well, rarely). You rock, Nicole Wallace!
  • To quote Nicolle, the Defense has a "fact problem" and shredding (or trying to shred) Michael Cohen won't change that. This is an all receipts, black and white paper case.
  • @RalphBoyshline
    If you can't attack the facts, you have to attack the person... Let's hope this jury will see through this better than OJ's jury.
  • @jillionairess
    He's like a little kid with his fingers in his ears and It is ridiculous.
