Tonight on the Readout.

Do you feel disecated?

This isn't a question of vindication. It's not a question as I stated before about revenge.

This is a... my position is that the end of the day Donald Trump needs to be held accountable for his dirty deeds.

If in fact that's the way that the facts play out.

Plain and simple. This is not about him. This is about holding accountability, truth to power and everything else in between.

Michael Cohen was back before a man hat in grand jury today. Could an indictment of Donald Trump be imminent?

Michael Cohen joins me live in just a moment.

Also tonight, remember the Republican Party of Ronald Reagan demanding that the Soviet leader tear down the Berlin Wall?

Well, today's Republican Party is parroting the talking points of the ultimate Soviet nostalgic, Vladimir Putin, an offering to hand over Ukraine to him as a reward for an illegal war.

Plus, today's high stakes hearing in Texas, which could result in women losing even more reproductive freedoms as Republicans push extreme new penalties for abortion patients, including the death penalty.

But we begin the readout tonight with Trump loyalist turned adversary Michael Cohen, who wrapped up his testimony today.

In front of the Manhattan Grand Jury investigating the Stormy Daniels hush money payments that he made on behalf of Donald Trump, aka individual one, in the lead up to the 2016 presidential election.

Cohen's testimony, taking more than five hours over two days, is believed to be the last piece of the puzzle

before wrapping up the case. That is, after Trump declined his invitation to speak before the grand jury himself.

So now we're in a literal wait and see moment, waiting to see what Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg will do next.

Will he bring charges against Trump, marking the first time that a former president gets indicted?

And beyond the legal implications are the many, many political ones, as Trump is seen as the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, at least for the moment.

Trump has already indicated that an indictment would not stop him from running.

In fact, one of Trump's lawyers told my colleague, Ari Melber, that an indictment would actually help his clients presidential pursuits.

If they're pursuing this matter, it's weaponizing the justice system to keep this guy out of office.

Donald Trump is going to win the election. And if they bring this case, I believe this will catapult him into the White House.
