Welcome to our special New York versus Donald Trump. I'm Ari Melbra and we're going to get into this criminal trial.

Defendant Trump reeling from the first week of testimony in New York.

We're covering that on tonight's special over the course of this hour.

We'll have new reporting on the damning testimony, experts from law to the sorted world of New York

tabloids.

We have experts on that too, believe it or not.

We also tonight have a beat special report on a new separate indictment against a Trump lawyer Boris Epstein who first admitted his role in the now indicted elector plot on the beat.

So you'll hear all of that tonight.

And this week ends with a remarkable contrast from DC to New York. Let me

tell you exactly what I mean. In Washington, you may have noticed a Trump-friendly

Supreme Court slowed Jacksmith's prosecution

and asked a bunch of Trump-friendly questions about all the

potential problems with prosecuting a president.

If you listed that oral argument or any of the coverage or read about it,

you may have noticed it almost argument or any of the coverage or read about it,

it almost sounded like that kind of trial was a futile project.

While right up the East Coast, an actual trial of an actual former president was going forward and the republic did not

crumble. It is a contrast that hangs over all of this in America and what we're

going to get into tonight. This very first week of the New York trial

was orderly and fair and it seems to undercut the supposed concern of the

Trump appointed justices that hypothetically someday somehow in the future trials of presidents are a very bad thing when they're

actually already happening.
