Coffee with Hawk Episode 032: April 30, 2024

Hawk discusses the court proceedings from April 30th in Donald Trump's criminal trial. The judge held Trump in contempt for violating the gag order 9 times and warned that further violations could result in jail time. Three witnesses testified, including a banker involved in facilitating the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels' attorney. The prosecution is methodically laying the groundwork by introducing evidence and witness testimony about the circumstances surrounding the alleged crimes.

Continuing, Hawk analyzes the prosecution's strategy of having their own witnesses criticize Michael Cohen's unpleasant demeanor, thereby getting ahead of the inevitable attacks on his credibility by the defense. However, the witnesses are also corroborating the underlying facts that incriminate Trump. Hawk speculates that Trump is angry at his lead attorney Todd Blanche for not being more aggressive in court.

Finally, Hawk notes that Trump's behavior in court, such as sleeping through testimony and refusing to stand when the judge enters, could negatively impact the jury's perception of his respect for the proceedings. The prosecution is adeptly using different types of evidence like videos, texts and emails to tell a compelling narrative to the jury, who are clean slates absorbing all this new information.
