Senior correspondent Eric Shawn reports on the NY v. Trump trial in New York City, where Hope Hicks' testimony contradicts the prosecution's claims against Donald Trump.

Key Points

  • Hope Hicks' testimony contradicts the prosecution's claims against Trump.
  • The purpose of the Stormy Daniels payment was not to influence the election unlawfully.
  • The trial is perceived as politically motivated and lacking substantial evidence.

Pros

  • Hope Hicks' testimony supports Trump's motive for suppressing salacious stories to protect his family.
  • Hicks' account undermines the District Attorney's primary claim against Trump regarding the Stormy Daniels payment.
  • The non-disclosure agreement with Daniels had a different purpose than influencing the election by unlawful means.

Cons

  • Prosecutors' decision to call Hicks to the stand was deemed unnecessary and redundant.
  • The trial is seen as politically driven and an abuse of the law by the District Attorney.
  • The case against Trump lacks concrete evidence of any actual crime committed.
