This is CBS, I am the world. I'm John Bachelot. I welcome Harry Seagal, a senior editor at

0:10.4

the City and a New York Daily News columnist to comment on the day after the day after Donald

0:16.8

Trump's indictment in New York, this headline in the Daily News. New York City judge

0:21.8

presiding over Trump's criminal case related to Stormy Daniel's hush money payment, receiving

0:27.9

death threats. Harry, a very good evening to you. This is routine show business in New

0:33.5

York and a New York City Supreme Court judge, my measure. This judge, all judges are worthy,

by the political parties. It's a bit of a complicated story, but they're elected, the

1:39.5

party nomination in any county, Democrats in Manhattan is sort of akin to the nomination.

1:45.9

And this judge, Michelle, who's done other cases, seems to be a steady person and a straight

1:51.9

shooter. It's obviously going to be very complicated, let alone with these things to him and

1:58.1

everything else. The Trump keeps saying deeply inflammatory things as is his want. You know,
