Expert can't fully say why Trump-Cohen recording cuts off

Kelsey Walsh and Mike Pappano  |  May 02, 4:33 PM

In his cross-examination of expert witness Douglas Daus, defense attorney Emil Bove asked Daus why the 2016 Trump-Cohen recording on Cohen's phone abruptly cuts off, attempting to raise doubts about the integrity of the recording.

Daus suggested that he heard in the recording that another call was coming in, but Daus said he could not say with certainty why the recording ended.

"You don't have firsthand knowledge of why it cuts off?" Bove said.

Bove -- a former prosecutor with plenty of experience handling cellphone extractions -- then discussed with Daus the different ways to extract a device. For a brief moment, the tone of the cross-examination shifted from tense to friendly.  .  .  .

It appears that Cohen was not simply unethical but  delusional. Davidson testified that Cohen was irate that he was not going to made Attorney General.  Even when he was representing Trump, some of us questioned his status as an attorney, let alone as a future Attorney General.
