Day Six of Testimony in Trump's Historic Hush Money Trial

Keith Davidson, the former attorney of Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, continued his testimony walking the jury through the $130,000 hush money deal he negotiated on behalf of Daniels. The defense attempted to paint Davidson as a shady lawyer who negotiated other deals involving high-profile celebrities. And, while questioning digital evidence analyst Douglas Daus prosecutors played the phone conversation Michael Cohen secretly recorded in September 2016, and CNN exclusively obtained, featuring Trump taking an active role in the McDougal deal. New York Times correspondent Maggie Haberman joins Anderson and his panel of legal experts to discuss what she observed in court today, as well as perspective from retired federal judge Nancy Gertner.  Learn more about your ad choices.
