CNN host Jake Tapper on Monday disputed Donald Trump's claim that the channel's legal experts think “there's no case” in his criminal hush money trial.

“Every single legal analyst, even CNN, even MSDNC, they're saying, 'There's no case here,'” Trump said while he spoke to reporters outside the New York courthouse.

“All right, a rather angry defendant saying, 'There's no case here,'” Tapper said as CNN cut away from the end of Trump’s speech. “For the record — although we certainly have people such as Mr. [Bill] Brennan on our panel here who are arguing that this is not a strong case — it's certainly not the view of CNN per se that there is no case here. We are discussing the qualities of the case, the good, the bad. There's disagreement.”

Michael Cohen, Trump's ex-attorney and fixer, testified Monday about the hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels and reiterated that Trump was involved in the scheme.

Trump also slammed Juan Merchan, the presiding judge in the case, and called the hush money trial a “scam” as he left the Manhattan courthouse.
