Welcome to political beat down. I'm Ben Myceles joined by Michael Cohen much to discuss today.

0:10.6

Donald Trump showed up in court in the New York Attorney General, civil fraud case,

0:16.4

an expert witness, Eli Bartov testified Donald Trump showed up whining, looked very panicked,

0:24.6

and then this testimony by Eli Bartov was absolutely absurd and basically said, yeah,

0:31.1

all of that thing that you're saying are fraud that Donald Trump committed? You see, those were

0:35.8

just errors. And Donald Trump didn't try to conceal it. So how could it be fraud if he used that
