Hey everyone it is 4 o'clock here in Washington DC. I'm Elisi Menendez in

for Nicole Wallace. We begin with the one thing that has consistently

haunted the disgrace twice in peach

four times indicted ex president. Something that has time and again kneecap Donald

J Trump in a way that his political adversaries, even the legal system itself, has struggled to do.

We're talking, of course, about Donald Trump's own words, and today we are reminded that words

do in fact matter, particularly when they are uttered during a deposition under oath,

and as part of the 370 million dollar civil fraud suit brought by a New York attorney general

at Tisha James, a case that threatens to deal a so-called corporate death penalty to the Trump

organization itself.

As viewers of this show know well, that trial has not been short on fireworks between Trump

grandstanding outside court or grand standing

inside the court. Time and again Trump has turned this trial into a cross between a

Maggar Rally and a W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W. W.

Match. Whether he's sparring with the judge or delivering last

week's blistering six minutes soliloquy in open court on the final day of

proceedings. This is not the first time Donald Trump has been deposed in this case.

The Trump's first deposition was more notable for what he did not say,

invoking the Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times. Answering one question, only one, what is your name?

But if he stonewalled the Tisha James and her investigators last time, that is not

what we see here. Just listen.

My most valuable asset I didn't even include on your statement.
