00:00Paula Reed has been tracking this trial and joins us now. What are we expecting to happen here? What
00:04have we seen playing out, you know, not just in this cross-examination, but now as they're trying
00:08to establish this pattern to back up her allegations? What was so interesting yesterday
00:13when I was in court is, well, last week was very emotional. At times she answered questions through
00:17tears. Yesterday was very technical. Joe Takapina, what he was trying to do is present evidence to
00:23her to make jokes about having sex with Donald Trump. Then he went on to press an issue that he
00:28has pressed repeatedly here, which is, look, you have an advice column where her life in interviews
00:33is being, quote, fabulous, but then talked about how much she was suffering here in court. And she
00:38said, I don't want anybody to know Joe Takapina's ability to undermine the credibility of her story.
00:44You think we hear from Trump? It's unlikely. At this point, he is not expected to testify,
00:49though Carroll's attorneys have said they plan to use parts of his previous deposition
00:52in their case. Totally separate. But in Arkansas, what we're also seeing play out with Hunter Biden
00:58and his attorneys have been in court, they've been paying the child support that he's supposed
01:01to do. This is now they're saying he needs to sit for a sworn deposition to answer questions
01:05on his investments as part of that paternity related case. What is happening there?
01:10Sure. So this has to do with his four year old dog reduce that amount. And if you want to
01:14do that,
01:14there is a process. Again, it's done all across the country every day, but it requires a lot of
01:19financial disclosures. And here, this dispute has become really a proxy battle for a lot of
01:26partisan battles that he is fighting. The mother of his child, she has a GOP attorney who is very
01:33public about aspects of this case. They're also trying to call as an expert witness, I mean,
01:38one of Hunter Biden's key political adversaries. This is a former Trump aide, Garrett Ziegler,
01:43who they accuse of leaking information. Look, the judge in this case said,
01:46there might be leaks, but I don't really have any proof of it. But going forward,
01:50he will have to reveal more of his finances. The judge said, you have to be more transparent.
01:55But even some Republicans on the Hill have said that they hope that this hearing reveals more
02:00details about his finances. He was accused of leaking the SARS treasury reports for Hunter Biden.
02:05Exactly. And now involved in a very sensitive family court matter.
02:09Yeah, a lot going on here. I know you'll keep tracking it and keep us updated. Thank you, Paula.
02:13Thanks, Paula.
