DIANE, CHIEF WHITE
HOUSE CORRESPONDENT MARY BRUCE,
THANK YOU.
AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP NOW
SAYS ABORTION ACCESS SHOULD
BE A STATES' RIGHTS ISSUE,
MOVING AWAY FROM THE IDEA
THAT HE WOULD IMPLEMENT
A NATIONAL ABORTION IF
REELECTED.
MEANWHILE, SOURCES TELL
ABC NEWS WITNESSES IN TRUMP'S
CRIMINAL HUSH MONEY TRIAL
WILL LIKELY INCLUDE FORMER
MEMBERS OF HIS INNER CIRCLE.
TRUMP HAS PLEADED NOT GUILTY
TO FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS
IN WITH A HUSH MONEY PAYMENT.
>> HIS ATTORNEY, MICHAEL COHEN,
ALLEGEDLY MADE TWO ADULT FILM,
STARRED STORMY DANIELS JUST
BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION.
ABC NEWS SENIOR REPORTER
KATHERINE FAULDERS ME NOW FOR
MORE.
KATHERINE COHEN COULD BE AMONG
THE LIST OF WITNESSES IN THIS
CASE.
>> WHO ELSE DO YOU EXPECT
TO TAKE THE STAND?
WELL, WE'RE REPORTING MORNING
PEOPLE IN TRUMP'S INNER CIRCLE.
DIANE, WE'VE ALREADY REPORTED
LONG TIME AIDE HOPE HICKS.
WE EXPECT THAT HIS LONGTIME
ASSISTANT CHRONOGRAPH, IS ALSO
EXPECTED TO BE CALLED BY
PROSECUTORS.
ANOTHER NAME HERE, MADELEINE.
SHE WORKED IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
SHE WAS TRUMP'S LONGTIME
ASSISTANT AND FORMER
DIRECTOR OF OVAL OFFICE
OPERATIONS.
THAT COULD BE SIGNIFICANT.
PROSECUTOR HAVE NOT PUBLICLY
RELEASED THEIR WITNESS LIST
YET.
SO SOURCES ARE TELLING US THAT,
LOOK, SOME OF THIS COULD CHANGE
THEIR CAUTIONING ON ANY FINAL
DECISIONS BEING MADE.
BUT WHAT WE'RE GETTING NOW
IS AN EXCLUSIVE LOOK AT WHO
PROSECUTORS EXPECT TO CALL
TO TESTIFY, INCLUDING, I SHOULD
SAY, SOME TOP OFFICIALS,
THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AS WELL.
>> WHAT TESTIMONY, WHAT COULD
TESTIMONY FROM THESE WITNESSES
MEAN FOR THIS CASE?
>> WELL, ESPECIALLY THOSE
TWO THAT I MENTIONED,
THE LONGTIME ASSISTANTS,
ONE BEING IN A
TRUMP ORGANIZATION, THE OTHER
AT THE WHITE HOUSE DOWN WEST
TO HELP RUN A GROUP, THEY MIGHT
NOT HAVE BEEN CENTRAL, FOR
EXAMPLE, TO DECISION MAKING.
THE DECISIONS AT THE TIME,
BUT THEY CERTAINLY DID HAVE A
FRONT ROW SEAT TO THAT DECISION
MAKING.
THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THESE
MEETINGS, FOR EXAMPLE.
>> SO THAT CERTAINLY WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT WHEN PROSECUTORS
ARE TRYING TO GET A VERY
INTIMATE DETAILS, YOU WILL
ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING AT THE
TIME AND TRUMP'S SAYS THAT HE
NOW BELIEVES ABORTION SHOULD
BE A STATES' RIGHTS ISSUE.
>> HE SAYS THIS IS HOW
REPUBLICANS WILL BE ABLE TO WIN
ELECTIONS, HOW IS TRUMP ON THIS
ISSUE?
>> WELL, IT'S A VULNERABLE
POLITICO ISSUE, GENERALLY
SPEAKING.
I THINK TRUMP REALIZED HE CAN'T
GO WITH THE CONSERVATIVE
POSITION ON THIS.
HE'S TRYING TO CATER TO MORE
MODERATES.
BUT DAN, THIS REMINDS ME OF HOW
TRUMP APPROACHES REALLY EVERY
CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE.
HE PUTS AN IDEA AND THEN
ULTIMATELY LANDS DOWN ON, OH,
WELL, THIS SHOULD BE LEFT UP
TO THE STATES.
SO REALLY ISN'T A POSITION.
THERE'S A LOT OF UNANSWERED
QUESTIONS.
THIS WILL HE SUPPORT, FOR
EXAMPLE, A NATIONAL BAN
ON LEGISLATION OR NATIONAL
LEGISLATION BAN WE DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S LOTS OF QUESTIONS
THAT WE STILL NEED TO ASK.
OBVIOUSLY, THE CAMPAIGN,
THE FORMER PRESIDENT, BUT RIGHT
NOW HE'S HAVING THIS BROAD
POSITION IN A SENSE WHERE
HE'S JUST SAYING IT SHOULD
BE L
