0:00.0 | Hey, good morning. It is Saturday, April the 27th. Donald Trump goes by many names and titles these days. |
0:12.5 | He is at once the former president of the United States and the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. |
0:18.0 | And if you were in a Manhattan courtroom where his first criminal trial just |
0:21.6 | wrapped its second week, you may have heard him referred to as the defendant instead. That's a first |
0:26.8 | for a former president of the United States. Meanwhile, to the nine Supreme Court justices this week, |
0:32.2 | he was known as the petitioner asking them to grant him immunity from criminal prosecution. |
0:36.9 | And we can now add one more |

1:25.0 | dropped in the middle of a very busy week for the former president |
1:28.1 | and for his attorneys. Trump was also separately named an unindicted co-conspirator in Michigan's |
1:35.6 | investigation into the fake elector's scheme. Sixteen people have already been charged in Michigan's |
1:41.3 | case. Now, Trump's week began with opening statements on Monday in his |
1:45.1 | criminal trial in New York, which was followed by the prosecution calling its very first witness. |
1:50.1 | David Pecker, the former CEO of American Media, Inc. That's the publisher of the National |
