MSNBC host and former Florida prosecutor Katie Phang made a guest appearance on "The Alex Witt Show" on Sunday afternoon where she reported that Donald Trump lawyer Alina Habba has been tabbed to cross-examine former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen when he appears in court on Tuesday.
Cohen is scheduled to testify as part of the former president's financial fraud trial where New York Attorney General Letitia James is asking for a $250 million judgment against Trump and the Trump Organization.
With the former president also expected to be in attendance, Phang told her MSNBC colleague, "Yes. I expect to see some fireworks," while issuing a small smirk and explaining Habba was expected to "grill" Cohen.

She then added Habba "...will be doing the questioning on behalf of Donald Trump when it comes to the cross-examination of Donald Trump's former fixer, Michael Cohen."
"Michael Cohen has withstood hours upon hours of grilling, not only from congressional investigators but from law enforcement," she recalled. "I would not be surprised to see Michael Cohen be able to hold his ground, to make sure that he doesn't budge under any type of attempt of cross-examination by Alina Habba."
