Half the jurors who will hold Donald Trump's fate in their hands once his criminal hush money trial ends were seen at various times agreeing with the prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen, when he testified on his second day.

CNN analyst Norm Eisen was in the courtroom during the former fixer turned foe's testimony, and saw some of the jury members agree with him.

Lanny Davis, the erstwhile lawyer for former President Donald Trump's one-time attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Wednesday that the prosecution has already laid out a clear map of Trump's illegal financial schemes in the Manhattan criminal hush money trial — and the defense has not presented any convincing argument for what those payments were if not what the prosecution said.

"The document we're showing here, this is [Trump Organization CFO] Allen Weisselberg," said Tapper, putting up a document. "And it's a document that basically comes up with the amount that they are going to pay Michael Cohen, which is reimbursement for the payment to Stormy Daniels, according to the prosecutors and Michael Cohen, plus $50,000 more for this other thing having to do with, like, some bogus polling or whatever. That's $180,000 times two, so that there's no tax penalty plus $150,000 because Michael Cohen was upset he didn't get a good Christmas bonus. That's — in total that's $420,000. And then it says $35,000 every month from Donald Trump. So that is the scheme and we haven't heard an alternate suggestion as to what this is."
