>> next, what have we done? the text message that said it all today as trump now falsely claimed that he cannot testify in the hush money trial longabaugh gas from a white house aide. i'm manahel newman and an exclusive outfront investigation tonight and event that are reported horner got kicked out of when trying to show you inside a world republicans don't want you to see world led by a man who is a model for trump's second term more breaking news, campus chaos, and other university giving protesters a deadline to get out or else, let's go out front good evening. >> i'm erin burnett outfront tonight. what have we done for words in one text, a text that could spell big trouble for trump during his nearly six hours of testimony, stormy daniels, former attorney, was asked about this text message that he sent to the former editor of the national enquirer that tax, what have we done? we sent on election tonight and 2016. what have we done in the

text goes so the prosecutor ask the witness, keith davidson, what did you mean when you say, what have we done? davidson responds, i think there was an understanding that this is a text between dylan howard, who is obviously the editor of the asheville inquire. and i and this was an understanding that our efforts may have in some way, i should strike that. that our efforts may have in some way assisted the presidential campaign of donald trump. so we thought carefully about his words, was careful with them. and that exchange is crucial context, of course, to the hundred $30,000 payment to stormy daniels because one of the reasons trump is charged with a felony is for covering up a payment in order to impact an election after that crucial piece of evidence came out in court, trump went before the cameras to talk about it as he's been doing every day here. but for the first time, something really changed here. he claimed for the first time that he is not allowed to be a witness in the case. >> well, i'm not allowed to test if i am under a gag of

course, that's false. >> he can testify is nothing to do with the gag order. the gag order prevents him from attacking witnesses or jurors and here's the thing about that prime to say, oh, i'd love to, but i can't. i mean, yes for, the course of his history on these issues, but it is an incredible reversal from what he has said repeatedly. he has said that he would testify in this trial testifying, you're fine. >> yeah. i. would. testify. absolutely. it's a scam i'm testifying. i tell the truth. i mean, all i can do is tell the truth all right. >> are reporters in the courtroom saying at time say trump was leaning back in his chair. closing his eyes i saw that when i was in the courtroom, it was clear to me that he was listening when that happened, but there had been speculation on twitter that he's dozing off and today he got on truth social during the lunch break and responded to those charges, right. in contrary to fake news media, i don't fall asleep during the

crooked das, which on especially not today is simply close my beautiful blue eyes sometimes listen intensely take it all in paula reid is upfront, live outside the courthouse to begin our coverage. so paula, you obviously are in the heart of this case and as i said, it, all jokes aside, what i saw on the courtroom from the other day, he was not falling asleep and it's hard to imagine him or anyone else could fall asleep today with what you saw in that courtroom right? >> you're hearing testimony about other scandals involving celebrities like charlie sheen to live tequila and even whole cogen. and even though keith davidson, who was involved in deals related to all of those scandals, even though he was called by the prosecution today, trump's defense lawyers were clearly on offense long day in court is always very happy about the way things, you know. and he should be keith davidson, a los angeles lawyer who formerly represented stormy

daniels, was back on the witness stand. >> trump's lawyers trying to paint him as a lawyer with a history of extracting big money from high-profile figures and directly asked if he was engaging in extortion. the defense pointed to a $2,000,000 deal he secured for one of his clients from actor charlie sheen, but davidson refuse to answer questions about the agreement, citing attorney-client privilege. davidson was then grilled about his representation of a client who tried to sell whole cogen his own sex tape. i did everything i could to make sure my activities were lawful. davidson said he acknowledged that his dealings were hogan's representatives were under scrutiny from the fbi. they had an investigation? yes. davidson testified davidson repeatedly answer that he could not recall when asked about other deals which resulted in a testy exchange with the defense attorney who said, we're both lawyers. i'm not here to play lawyer games with you. defense lawyers tried to tie davidson's other deals to his

monetary settlement for daniel's suggesting that he was trying to avoid being accused of extortion. trump's attorney asked one of the issues you had to be sensitive about was not to threaten that the payment needed to be made prior to the election. i don't recall that davidson responded trump paid close attention to his legal team as they cross-examined davidson, even turning his chair towards the witness stand at one point under questioning from prosecutors, davidson admitted that he told michael cohen that daniel's would lose her leverage if trump lost the 2016 election. he also testified to cohen's chaotic state of mind in december 2016, recalling a phone call with cohen, davidson said that he was very upset that he had not been chosen for a role in the trump administration. i thought he was going to kill himself. davidson testified hi district attorney alvin bragg has kept a low profile throughout this trial, but today, he made aware

appearance in court and he appeared shortly before one of his employees, douglas door two processes, electronic evidence for the district attorney had to take the stand. >> now, a source familiar with his thinking with his management style tells me that bragg wanted to show support for his employee, who of course only has to testify around because the trump defense team refuses to stipulate to any of this evidence and that means a lot more witnesses just to get basic things in front of the jury. all right. paula, thank you so much. are experts all here with me. scenarios and you were in court today as you've been every single day. the other day when you and i were saying they're davidson began his testimony and i remember you and i were talking when he was confident he was detailed, he was comfortable lose engaging with the jury. he was in his element but today, you were sitting there. he says, i don't recall repeatedly. i know he was flushed at one point at tell me about it. >> he also had long pauses. aaron and i think he's my attorney, of course, he wanted to be very careful about what he was saying. it is much more difficult to be cross-examined

than it is to do a direct examination. because you haven't practiced it and it's not a script. i think when beauvais was questioning him, he got a little bit agitated as matter of fact, they started to argue at one point and you said it earlier, the fact that, well, we're both lawyers, that is something unusual to hear and he chose his words very carefully. >> it will it's interesting he was night and day different from what he was on direct examination under cross and there was a lot of challenges in this cross, but jeremy when you were inside the courtroom, you could actually see the jury and you're very close to them. >> i mean, the other day i was clear to me they were paying very close attention, but to this with these fireworks today with davidson under cross, what was the jury's reaction? yeah. it's worth staying at the start. >> it feels like the jury has been paying attention throughout every time i've looked over whether it's an interesting witness like davidson, whether it's a less interesting witness, perhaps we got to talking about records like, i mean, i was shocked at how much they still were paying attention. but certainly during this testimony that the jury was engaged, i were watching.

you could see if a tennis match back-and-forth between bobby and mr. davidson i also think it's worth noting that trump was paying very close attention to this part of the testimony when davidson finished in the morning with the direct trump, did his zoning out where he had his eyes closed? you know, whether you're, sleeping or not with who's to say there he turned in his chair. he was watching this closely throughout the hour before lunch. >> so in the cross, if paul the defense, did try to discredit davidson, so they let they talked about other celebrity cases where he would go to them and say, oh, if you don't give me money, charlie sheen, whole cogen t let tequila. they used the word extortion are these the kinds of things that could discredit a witness? >> it's done of the jury with what's at stake here. these are the things i can discredit a witness. the fact that he pauses at times the time that he was deliberate in his in his answers, the fact that his demeanor during direct examination is different than cross. all those things are important, but i would have liked to have seen the prosecution bring a lot more out about the negatives about him to blunt with the defense

attorney was going to do they seem to they didn't seem like they expected this stuff, which is how could you not expect it right? i mean that's the thing. i mean, you don't realize your client was involved deal with all go again or charlie sheen for 2 million sort of glaring oversights if that's what they are so ryan trump's attorney, as part of this, when they were going after davidson introduces a recording where davidson it's talking to michael cohen and saying stormy daniel's one of the money quote, more than you could ever imagine? okay, then he continues in this, they give the transcript of this call between cohen, davidson. davidson says, if he loses this election and he's going to lose, we lose all f-ing, leverage. now, you can look at this several ways, but one of them would be to be like, wow, this shirt makes it look like david's is acknowledging that his best election was his best election, his best leverage was to use the election to try to get paid to basically extort right? >> but when i saw that, i

thought wow, that's pretty damaging against the defense. you might even think that the prosecution would introduce the recording. okay. so explain the other side. >> your side is it's just remarkable. the recording is davidson saying to cohen that we will lose all leverage after the election meaning that this is all tied to the election that is the missing piece that the prosecutors have to prove. they have to prove that this whole scheme falsifying business records, et cetera, was directed towards the election and trying to influence the election by not having the information come out yeah. okay. so i understand your point, but if it's davidson saying it is it davidson saying i proceed? iv that the election is kind of the dangling sort of damocles that i have here, as opposed to the motive needing to come from the other side? >> yes, absolutely. and i think that's the best explanation for why is the defense in fact raising this? they're trying to say it in davidson's head. this is the guy who extorts people he was using the election to extort people in his mind. he's focused on the election as a leverage point, but donald

trump is not. you don't have any evidence that says donald trump was thinking about the election donald trump's thinking about his wife and his family, that's the defense's argument. and that's why maybe they're introducing it as that's that explains the timing because the jury might think why is this all happening in the late october of 2016 has got to do with the election? yes. but as davidson is thinking about the election so that was a we here, we see the transcript. >> there was a conversation played today. >> the actual audio of a conversation that trump's team played in the cross and this was you've got to i guess everyone's attention, so we just play it first-year me for everybody. here's the clip need to open up a company the transfer of all the info regarding our friend david i spoke to alan about it when it comes time for the financing, which will be what will have to pay yourself getting old okay so just to be clear, this discussion is about the karen mcdougal payment, not the stormy daniels payment but you

have donald trump talking about financing money in a payment to a woman. >> so that is what this establishes. you're watching the jury when they hear this clip, what happened? >> it was really striking because the sound it was there's almost booming when you had and this was one of several recordings that we heard today. we also heard michael cohen's conversations with keith davidson it was almost like it was a theater when it was in there, the sound was, was quite loud. the jury, they are not only going to hear it here, michael cohen's voice for the first time, but they had the transcript of the screen. it was in front of them. and so they were certainly watching donald trump has also looking at the screen or so they could read the conversation, kind of watch what was going on in real time but obviously michael cohen is a key witness that they're eventually going to hear from. but this was the first time they actually heard his voice, heard him dealing with trump. i think it's probably not the last time we're going to hear. >> but what was trump's reaction when he hears that call? >> well, i can tell you everybody in the room, including trump wins they heard his voice because they played it and that was the voice we heard first. we were all surprised. >> i thought we were going to hear cohen or davidson or someone else, but we heard

trump and i think everybody looked up including donald trump because he heard his own voice. and i think it means that he knows that there is some solid evidence against him. now we have his voice before. it was just michael cohen. michael cohen. now, it's donald trump was actually doing the talk. is it possible you may not have known about that call until that moment or he should have known. i mean, the the your council is provided, but these documents and these tapes long before you get sent to them and no, clearly they knew this was coming. now, whether they told their client than it was coming as another okay. >> okay. another crucial moment for the defendant this today, davidson says, quote, i have had no personal interactions with donald trump in that call. we just heard is michael cohen, donald trump talking about financing payment to karen mcdougal davidson represented her. you also represents stormy daniels. and what's at stake in this case. but he says, i've had no personal interactions with him so has the prosecution had any success so far in linking these stormy daniels payment to trump, which they

must do not really so that it had some witnesses speculating that trump was behind the scenes and understood it, but not not not yet. i think that is an important missing piece that the prosecution has to prove and the current in the coming days bass there's another piece as well that the prosecution i think was in the back heel is because the defense counsel also says, well, we have the signed agreements, but donald trump's name, he seems absent absent from the agreement, absent from the understanding. there's the missing piece, right? i guess they could point to well, who says he proved to karen mcdougal, he wants to pay cash, but paul another point, trump's attorney says today, you never linked these negotiations to the 2016 election with anyone. is that your testimony? asking of davidson rights are davidson says that's fair so even as he saying, this is our moment, we're going to lose all f-ing leverage. he's saying at the same time that he never for linked to the negotiators to the payment directly to the election in the negotiations which i presume means and conversations with them,

michael cohen, right? how damning is that? >> well, i think you have to look at the other side. right. why did the other side go into this agreement and they're of course, the prosecution's about to say they went into it to save the fact of this election. if it got out everything was going to fall apart. of course, the other side is saying, no, we doing it because the defense is sam because we want to protect my wife and so you haven't you really have to look at the other side in the negotiations that were taking place in their mindset, the defense's side, and that's really what is important. gordon, with davidson thought or didn't think is totally irrelevant and jeremy, are you having been in the room at different times? >> we all know there's kind of positions that he takes. there's the lean back, but your head back, legs forward? there's the straight up. there's lean into the tv screen. there are several. okay so today, what how would you comparatively trump's level of agent and in an involvement, i think during the davidson cross, he was very engaged. i think one of the more time leucine and most engaged perhaps that when he had round in, shubi, i think he was also

engaged, maybe the first day during the gag order hearing. he he that happened this morning. he was he was zoomed out like he it's i think it's clearly a strategy and we'll see how long again that he is able to follow it. but when there's testimony, he doesn't like his best strategy here is just to ignore it and to sit back and zoom out and try to zoom out, but it is a long time that he's going to have to maintain this composure, right? >> i mean, we're going to go six to eight weeks and we're just now getting started, particularly when we get to michael cohen i think that is going to be a very long direct and a very long cross-examination. and there will be sparks flying in that courtroom for sure between those two. >> all right. thank you all very much. and next breaking news, we are just getting some of the actual evidence that was shown in court today into cnn in an including important to photos and text messages. as questions grow over, what the next big witness could be, could it be hope hicks, former white house aide, amoroso, a manahel newman is next plus now for an investigation into trump's embrace of a far-right leader, a leader who is

providing trump a roadmap for a second term me america great again make europe great again. >> i don't are trump and from champagne to playboy models trump lived the playboy life but is that what's really going to do them in now? now, we're going to limestone cave, letting extreme residue build-up to put finished jareh dry to them dishwashers are designed to use jet dry to defend against top residues for our practically spotlight, shine america is in a race for its future. >> our nation has london, oil and natural gas to make us more energy independent. we have the advantage, but foreign nations want to fill growing energy in, leave america in the dust weakening our security. and idling our economy. we can't

chef's kiss. doctors preferred better science, better results. how it really happened with jesse l. martin, sunday's at nine on cnn all right. >> breaking news, we have just obtained some of the key evidence shown in court today during donald trump's hush money trial, including this photo of michael cohen standing in the white house press briefing room on february 8, 2017. and we also have a trove of text messages that coincident including a batch of back-and-forth with the person you see on your screen there, former trump a close aide who picks now both of them are expected to be called to testify in this case. the first texts between them was shown on number 42016. that's four days before the election. cohen says to hicks, call me other texts admitted into evidence, also appear to show cohen and hicks repeatedly discussing the stormy daniels allegations up front. now, i'm rosa manahel

neumann, a former senior adviser to donald trump, also work with michael cohen. and of course new trump because she was a contestant on the first season of the apprentice and is the author of unhinged an insider's account of the trump white house, where of course you spent plenty of time. amara, so so okay. so i think it took the picture you just you took that picture. i really thank that. i took that picture because i scored it. michael, when he came for a visit in february of 2017 and took him around. his daughter was my intern in the white house, samantha, she's wonderful, but yeah, i think i took that picture. okay. that's fine. there you go. and you just stopped being admitted for evidence. okay? so when these back-and-forth conversations between text conversations between hope hicks and michael cohen. they're talking about the stormy daniels allegations i hope picks obviously it was press secretary. she was communications director for the campaign. >> yeah. i remember interviewing him once and it's literally at that point it was it was him and hope yeah, i no. i mean, she was inner circle as

inner circle gaps because there was only like 14 of us at the beginning. >> it was very small. so then she goes on to become the white house communications director. but the texts that we know of show discussing the allegations do you think or how much to think kopecks may know about what was done about the allegations, the hush money payment. >> well, there's no question that she knew every single aspect of it. in fact, it was her job to know and it was also her job to manage it and then manage the messaging around it. >> so it was really surprised when she initially asserted that she knew nothing about it. >> but now all of the information that's coming out and the evidence shows that she knew more than she admitted. >> and we do expect her to be called to testify, so we're going to find out and i'm sure we'll see a lot more of those messages kellyanne conway could also be a potential witness on this. now, she was trump's campaign manager at the time. she has denied having any knowledge about the payment to stormy daniels. of course, we'll see when she's on the state and what she would say but paula reid are reporter who's been covering so she

said the testimony with kellyanne could focus really in on access hollywood tape, sort of the omg moment that it created a feeling of, okay, we're, we're done unless we do something dramatic what would you expect to hear from her? >> well, i remember the release of that tape because we were on a bus tour women for trump bus tour. i think we were in line. how appropriate how random boss tour? and kellyanne actually dispatched us to those battleground states. and we all have to get on a call right before the release. and there was it was the biggest bombshell of the campaign. we thought that that was the end. kellyanne was central to all of those conversations and probably the urgent let's see of having to handle the stormy daniels situation really stemmed from that access hollywood release. >> and, you know, in those moments, amara, so when we try to understand what what role trump play, right in this case, whether he directed that

payment and the falsification of business documents what was his reaction and what did he eat, what to say in that contemporaneously in that moment about stormy daniels are about needing to do something about it donalds his directive is always you guys just fix it. >> don't tell me how you do it. just fix it, which is why michael cohen was so key in his relationship with trump in the trump organization? mission for us on the call, he's like you guys handle it once it's all taken care of, just come back to me. i didn't want to know the nuances, but he is also really down to the minutia of everything. if you've ever been to trump tower, donald trump knows who's working concession in the lobby. so we absolutely does. who's telling? >> flink that will stand out? hi covering her. so that day yes, that's you're not gonna get the american public to believe now that you were not intimately involved with things that were happening in your organization in an out day, in and out for at least a month and a half. it's just not believable. it so let me let me

ask you this. >> do you though, when you say that the attitude on the call from trump was sort of okay, you guys take care of this and then get back to me is the door open for you to him knowing full well, that whatever cohen was doing might've been quite unsavory but not actually knowing what it was himself possible. >> it's not about how donald trump operates. >> so if it came to a payment to stormy daniels, he knew he directed i absolutely believe michael cohen because he fixed so many other situations in the 17 years that i was a part of that working in that organization. >> right. michael was fixer. it's not just saying he actually did the things i don't people play down his role as an attorney, but he was actually really, really good at managing legal situations for donald extinguishing sticky situation not just with stormy daniel's, but so many that i'm surprised he's not shared with the american public because he has so many things that he had to deal with that i personally know and i think donald knows that michael hasn't even know so many

skeletons and many now he has not shared he has not shared everything that he knows. donald knows that michael knows that. i know that all right. amoroso. thank you very much. yeah. good to see you. good to see you and to see you in person yes. next and outfront investigation. can law got kicked out of an event that trump's allies don't want you to even know exists an event that offers important clues about what trump second term would look like oh, no one oh, here's plus breaking news, a campus protests and portland turning violent tonight, police say an officer has been taken to the hospital, others reportedly being hit by water bottles. we have details on these breaking development coming up smile. >> you found it the feeling of findings, psoriasis can't filter out the real you. so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only so take to a

democrats nefise, of course, we have a better chance with president trump in office, hungary's foreign minister agreed to a short interview with cnn telling us or ban and trump's share much of the same vision, including governments should be run in by strong men. >> how is that a democracy you know, it's really annoying to me that there's no common understanding in the world now about what mokgweetsi means, we are a truly right-wing party. >> it's truly right-wing political movement with the approach that the prime minister represents. and the approach represented by president trump are very similar to each other. >> hosting cpac isn't the beginning of the relationship between hungry and the us right wing. we reviewed disclosures with the department of justice and found that since 2010 when four ban came to power, his government has paid us lobbyists at least 4.5 million. >> the goal to build ties with the american conservative

movement when american conservatives look to hungry, they see a prime minister in the government that actually delivered on the slogans that they, that they promised and open door by hungry for american conservatives lead glad and pappy in here he leads a think tank attached to orban's office, a trump supporter who would like to us to be more like hungry when trump came into office in 2017, it was a very rude awakening. he realized the importance of having a strong team of people who are aligned and willing to carry out the same mission. prime minister orban has built that in hungary. and so i think that's the mentality that trump is bringing into the 2024 campaign. >> the relationship between the two men is close the former president heaping praise on or bond during a recent visit to mar-a-lago a great job non-content get because he said this is the way it's going to be in this. he had done martin

guliyev is a left-leaning political commentator. he's a host of partisan, a popular youtube channel and hungry, he and says critics of or ban had been taken mostly off the air. >> most of the channels are financially, economically tied to the government. so would you say that the media landscape is uncontrolled by oman a large part of the media landscape is controlled by orban or impacted by orban. if you want to do in pendant free and trustworthy journalism, you have to go to the online sphere because that kind of freedom doesn't exist on cable. >> this is an autocratic state by definition, juliana celine was once or bonds political ally, but witness or bonds right-wing shift. she has warning about what's happened to her country being glorified by trump world. >> basically all this taste institutions, including the president, everyone is orban's 20 so he has a very big institutional control. orban is selling his model as a sample for radical rights all around

in the western world at cpac, hungary, the conservative movement claims victory an. election year. us republicans attending are hoping to find the same success back home. >> but your capital in your government are more conservative than mine in america. but we're looking to change that this right-wing gathering here in hungary is happening at a critical time for democracy around the world. >> elections are happening right now in india in june, european parliamentary elections will be taking place. and in november, of course, the us elections were conservatives around the world are cheering on a donald trump victory aaron, all right, killing. >> thank you. you very much. in hungary chilling an important investigation that chung did tonight, let's go beyond the numbers with harry enten. so harry chung's reporting, there's also just this fascination in the united states with, or bond, especially when those who support trump. but she mentioned his visit to mar-a-lago recently you can use use that as a barometer for

what? >> yeah. if you take a look at the google searches for viktor orban in the united states since his meeting with trump just a few months ago, you see compared to the same period last year, look at that google searches up 195%. and what i will note about that 195% rate times, yeah, very high compared to last year. and those that we've been seeing over the last few years in terms of searches for viktor orban, we're already at their all-time high. remember, he rejoined re became prime minister back in 2010. basically, no one in the united states had been searching him. for him from 2010 to 2020. it was only when he visited cpac back in 2022, the first time around that people actually started searching for him. and now we're already reaching highs when we were already at the highest level previously, right so surge off of an already high number actually, right. all right, so the context here of course, is the rising power or the rising curiosity with authoritarian leaders, right? and obviously in the gop that includes putin for some marjorie taylor greene can

bokeh hurt her former colleague, color moscow marjorie because of how she is parotid talking points from putin as she celebrated on russian tv and she has a make ukraine great hat again now, i mean, there's a word echo between what she said and what we hear on russian state television what do the numbers about more broadly though, about republican voter support for putin? >> yeah, i mean, the majority of voters on the republican side are not for putin, but there's a substantial minority that is, there was a recent poll question that essentially s is a good thing that putin was re-elected in russia. and what we see there is 22 2% of republicans say, yes, it was a good thing compared to just 2% of democrats are talking more than a fifth of the republican base here using and the favorable ratings for putin among republicans, although they're low, they have doubled over the last year from 7% in 2023 to now 14% in 2024. so again, it's just a nardi, republicans, but it's a very vocal minority and a growing one. >> all right, so in that

context, trump, who told sean hannity famously he wouldn't be a dictator except for de want. yeah. and even though shawnna given him every out, he could give him, he still said that time magazine the reporter was on here the other day he had done this great interview with trump and he he told to trump told him that he thinks a lot of americans, like a dictator yeah, certainly a lot of republicans do. >> if you ask them whether or not they would like trump to be a dictator for a day, three-quarters of republicans said they were okay with that. it was a good thing compared to just 26% who be a bad thing? so trump is right, at least among the republican base, aaron, this is incredible. i wonder if they i mean the numbers are the numbers aaron right? right. >> you know, we report the numbers that's what i do and that's what the american people believe. >> yeah, it's incredible all right. thank you very much, harry. thank you. next breaking news police and students now clashing at another university. >> this happening right now, would you see on your screen we've got reports of police being hit with water bottles it's an officer taken to the hospital. we're going to take you there.

year in 2006, this photo showing mcdougal trump, melania, and his daughter, ivanka, at a playboy function prosecutors argue that enquirer but mcdougal story for $150,000 as part of a catch and kill effort to protect then presidential candidate trump who has denied the affair. >> it was thought at the time that an affair, let alone one with a playmate, would not have gone over well with conservative christians. >> who he was actively courting. >> i have great relationship with god. i have great relationship with the evangelicals. >> it could be said over the years, trump has also had a great hey relationship with playboy. >> it was one of the few men and the history of playboy to be on the cover. so i don't know if that was presidential candidate trump in 2016, giving a tour of his office at trump tower showing some of his proudest accomplishments to a washington post reporter, prominently displayed at the time, a framed march 19, nine monday playboy magazine cover

featuring him and a playboy playmate wearing a tuxedo jacket and little else. i got myself in trouble with the playboy interview in that 1990 cover story, trump said this, i don't want to be president. i'm 100% sure. i changed my mind only if i saw this country continue to go down the tubes, pictures, going back to the early 90s showed trump partying with playmates on numerous occasions. this playboy video from 1994, uncovered by cnn shows trump photographing playboy models. an interviewing potential playmates. the scene showing trump do not to pick to any unclothed models, although there are scenes which we cannot show that due in 2000, he briefly appeared and another playboy video celebrating with models pouring champagne on lemma and in 2001 at a playboy event, cnn's jeannie most as trump, have you ever dated a play me? >> i refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it
