“A wall he can’t tear down”

Hi everyone we made it to Friday it's four o'clock in New York on a very busy

courthouse in Manhattan where day four of the people of the state of New York

versus Donald Trump is currently underway.

Earlier today, a harrowing moment outside of the court where a man set himself

on fire in the area designated for protesters. We'll talk about that and the potential

security implications later in this broadcast, but happening right now inside

A pivotal hearing focused on the scope of questioning.

If, and this is a huge if at this point, Donald Trump should take the stand in his own defense.

With the 12 jurors and six alternate jurors

who will determine Donald Trump's fate now selected,

trial could ultimately hinge. And that is, what is fair game should the ex-president take

the stand? Prosecutors believe that they should be able to bring up a veritable laundry list of

Trump's past misdeeds over the years, including the verdict in the civil fraud trial where the ex president was found to have committed years of financial fraud.

Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo said this, quote,

the repeated fraud and illegality is highly relevant to this case right now.

Prosecutors also want to introduce the verdicts in the E. Jean Carroll trials where Trump was found

Prosecutors also want to bring up the settlement the Trump Foundation struck with the

New York Attorney General, as well as Trump's businesses being convicted by the Manhattan DA for
