Contributing sentiments towards policy:
71% : When Trump exited the courtroom on Monday, he praised the witness, Robert Costello, a former adviser to his ex-attorney and fixer Michael Cohen.47% : "This case should be dropped by the judge," Trump said, adding if the judge did that, Merchan could "gain the respect back.
41% : I've never seen anything like that," Trump said.
39% : Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Cohen how many times he believed he conversed with Trump about Daniels in October 2016.
36% : "Michael Cohen said numerous times that President Trump knew nothing about those payments, that he did this on his own," Costello said.
36% : They indicated they could rest their case by Tuesday morning, meaning there is a low chance Trump himself will take the stand.
35% : After watching prosecutors hammer Cohen about his credibility and key parts of his story for three days during cross-examination, prosecutors' last move was to elicit testimony from Cohen during a redirect questioning about calls he made to Trump, during which Cohen claims he spoke to Trump about Daniels.
34% : The former president also said presiding Judge Juan Merchan has a chance to gain back "respect" if he agrees to dismiss the charges before the jury deliberates on whether to convict or acquit Trump of the 34-count indictment.
34% : But the decision to do so Monday was still enormous for the trial because it meant Bragg's office believes it has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump falsified business records with the intent to commit another crime.
32% : The reimbursement was included in the broader $420,000 payment plan that is at the heart of the case against Trump.
30% : Costello, a former prosecutor fresh off his revealing testimony to Congress last week, indicated Monday that his client said "numerous times" that Trump knew nothing about the hush money payments to Daniels.
28% : Prosecutors on Monday countered that by admitting into evidence a still shot of a video of Trump physically near Schiller around the exact same time the call was placed in an attempt to show Cohen could have spoken to Trump about Daniels on the call.
25% : Costello's words were integral to the defense's efforts to undercut Cohen's claims about Trump's alleged involvement in a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, for which Trump is now facing charges.
25% : "Trump, who is under a gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses, has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in the case.
24% : They argued Cohen would not have had enough time, in under two minutes, to have a full conversation with Schiller about the harassment and then have a separate conversation with Trump in which the hush money scheme was hatched.
23% : After calling more than 20 witnesses and showing jurors more than 200 pieces of evidence, prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office finished presenting their side of the case against Trump late Monday afternoon.
23% : While Costello was severely limited by the judge in what he could say, he emphasized that Cohen appeared to be in a crisis during the meeting and yet had no damning evidence against Trump that could have helped Cohen avoid prosecution.
