"CNN's Erin Burnett describes what she witnessed as she sat in the courtroom during former President Trump's criminal hush money trial in New York."

As my colleague Kire Schneider wrote about this last week: 

"Donald Trump is not being prosecuted for adultery in Manhattan. I mean think about it, this is Manhattan, if anything adultery is encouraged here. If you are not rich and divorce by the time you are 40, if you are a man who doesn't have kids with multiple women, by the time you are 40, you are considered to be some outsider, who should go move to Cleveland or some place. You are not considered a real Manhattanite, certainly not a real New Yorker. 

Donald Trump is not being prosecuted for paying off a porn chick, who he was having an affair with, when his wife Melania was pregnant with his son Barron. Hell, Defendant Don is not even being charged with cheating on his wife, while she was pregnant with their son. Again, this is Manhattan, they're not looking for saints and for people who are playing to make it to Heaven. I'm having a little fun with this, but you get the idea...

We're making this point very strong about what this Donald Trump trial is about, because we don't want our readers or anyone else to think that this trial is something that it's not. The Donald Trump Hush Money Trial (as some people call it) is not some tabloid magazine that simply makes its money by embarrassing professional celebrities, whether it's Donald J. Trump or anyone else. And Donald Trump is not even the star, let alone publisher of this fictional publication. 

This trial about election interference and false business records, that Donald J. Trump is being tried for, that his colleagues have been alleged to have work with him on, to prevent two devastating stories from coming out in the public against Mr. Trump, just before the 2016 presidential election. 

And according to CNN anchor Erin Burnett, who I believe is one of the 3 best anchors at CNN right now, because she is a professional reporter with both a business and Washington background in hard news, whose known Donald Trump for perhaps 20 years now, from her time covering Wall Street for CNBC in the 2000s, who knows Donald Trump about as well as any hard news mainstream journalist, she makes a very good point here about how seriously this jury is taking this case right now. 

Erin Burnett  gave excellent details, along with the lawyers who are covering this case for CNN, including one of their legal correspondents Paula Reid, about how seriously this jury took Keith Davidson's testimony yesterday.
