Chuck Zito describes courtroom chaos
As Watters dived into the conversation, Zito painted a vivid picture of the courtroom atmosphere, describing it as nothing short of chaotic.
"It was pretty wild, I couldn't believe it," Zito remarked, highlighting the intense back-and-forth between attorneys and the judge's firm stance on certain matters.
"But then President Trump's attorney got on, when he was cross-examining Michael Cohen, and he says, last week you said you lie under oath for your personal gain. Do you lie under oath for your personal gain? I said, this guy's not going to... He says, yes. I'm saying, I was ready to yell out, dismiss this case, it's over," said Chuck Zito.
The discussion swiftly turned to Trump himself, with Zito effusively praising his longtime acquaintance. Their history traces back over 40 years, including a memorable bout at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
"I would always support President Trump. We know each other over 40 years. I fought in the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. So we go back a long time. I'll always support him. He's the greatest president of my lifetime, I'll tell you that," Zito declared, emphasizing Trump's selfless commitment to the nation's welfare.

Reflecting on Trump's demeanor during the proceedings, Zito marveled at his unwavering resolve.
"Nothing fazes him," Zito remarked, admiring Trump's steadfastness in the face of adversity. "We were in the jury room before and after we had lunch there. And he goes, imagine this is what I have to go through. I should be campaigning. I should be getting ready for my debates. But this is what they're putting me through. What are you going to do? He's going, nothing fazes him. I thought I was a tough guy. This guy's a savage, man,” said Zito.
Amidst the legal intricacies, Watters interjected with a touch of levity, inquiring about the courtroom lunch menu. Zito recounted his modest meal amidst the tempting array of pizzas.

"They had a bunch of pizza pies, a bunch of everything. You know, I'm still training, so I only had one slice and a bottle of water. All right. But I just can't believe what he's going through," said Zito.

In his closing remarks, Watters left viewers with a sobering reminder of Cohen's potential political ambitions and his proposed television venture.
