CNN legal analyst Norman Eisen will join the line Monday morning to witness opening statements in the first-ever criminal trial of a former American president.

I will be joining the line Monday morning to witness opening statements in the first-ever criminal trial of a former American president. Journalists are to queue up in the long exterior entryway to the 17-story building at 100 Centre St. – its elegant pale yellow granite and limestone Art Deco facade is a sharp contrast to the faded and dark hallways.

Since Trump either will deny criminal intent on the stand or won’t testify at all, the prosecution will need to explain to the jury that the way to get there is through other witnesses and through documents. It’s also notable that the jury has two lawyers on it – the DA will be particularly focused on talking to those two jurors so they can educate the non-lawyer jurors on how this works.
