Hello, I'm Leanne Jackson, senior law editor at Forbes, and today I am joined by John Phillips.

He's a Jacksonville attorney who has come to speak with me about the biggest cases he's working on and also the Trump trial

which is going on currently here in New York City. Now John does civil rights law

criminal defense as well as plaintiffs work in Jacksonville handling some really

big cases.

He also handled a case with Amarosa who Trump had sued her for a violation of a non-disclosure.

That was a few years ago.

Thank you for joining me, John.

My pleasure.

So, great to have you in studio.

I know we've talked to you before.

You're a great guest.

And I did want to talk to you because of course,

the case du jour that everyone's talking about the

unprecedented case against the president of the United States the criminal

hush money trial that's happening in Manhattan court here now Michael Cohen

the star witness for the prosecution, has been testifying.

I believe he's been cross-examined today if I'm not incorrect.

How do you think that's been going in terms of the prosecution's case in chief and how he's presented himself?

I think they had a roadmap and they're moving down the roadmap. I think they're doing a good job.

It's tough with a case like that because it's, you know, you have all these sensational facts,

you have hush money to a stripper you know basically and it has all these side issues
