Three former Black Panther Party members will speak during a virtual event on March 27

Michael Cohen's credibility with the hush money trial jury is in the pits after a chaotic day in Manhattan criminal court, according to former President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer.

William Brennan appeared Monday on CNN's "The Situation Room" to discuss the conclusion of Cohen's cross examination at the hands of Trump's lead attorney Todd Blanche.

"Stealing from his client?" Brennan exclaimed. "In the world of attorney discipline that's like first-degree murder. The only thing he hasn't done is an animal sacrifice."

Cohen, Trump's former attorney, admitted on the witness stand Monday that pocketed $30,000 from his former employer, the Trump Organization.

As Cohen explained during his testimony, Trump had an outstanding bill of $50,000 from a tech company called Red Finch that he had initially dodged paying.

The Trump Organization gave Cohen the $50,000 needed to repay the firm. But when it came time to pay the company, Cohen gave them $20,000 and kept the remaining remaining $30,000.

“So you stole from the Trump Organization?” demanded Blanche.

“Yes, sir,” Cohen answered.

Brennan told anchor Wolf Blitzer he felt that Blanche had "knocked it out of the park," but then pivoted to condemn the testimony of attorney Robert Costello whose questionable courtroom antics antagonized Justice Juan Merchan to the extreme.

"Having spent a lot of time in front of Judge Merchan myself, he's out of central casting," declared Brennan. "This is [Steven] Spielberg's version of a judge — he's a very decent man."

Brennan called Costello's antics "foolish" for drawing attention away from the case.

In Belgrade, Serbia, protesters voiced their displeasure with a real estate deal involving former Trump White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner, former Trump Administration aide Richard Grenell and the Serbian government.

The project, according to the New York Times' Eric Lipton, calls for a $500 million hotel that would be built on the site the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense. And it would, Lipton notes, put Kushner, "Directly into business with a European state as his father-in-law, Donald J. Trump, vies to return to the White House."

"The complex was bombed in 1999 by NATO forces with the backing of the United States during the war Serbia was then waging with Kosovo," Lipton explains.

"It is now considered a prime undeveloped real-estate site in the middle of a much-changed city, and Mr. Trump himself had considered building a hotel at the same site in 2013."

The reporter adds, "For Mr. Kushner, who is also planning two luxury hotel projects in neighboring Albania, these deals in the Balkans are among the largest he has made since starting his investment firm, (Affinity Partners)…. Mr. Kushner and his partners plan to build a hotel, retail space and more than 1500 residential units."

But not everyone in Serbia's federal government is happy about the deal, which, according to Lipton, has "drawn criticism from opposition leaders in the Serbian parliament."

Lipton reports, "Protesters blocked traffic in front of the former defense ministry headquarters on Thursday and put up signs questioning the decision, including some that said: 'Stop Giving Army HQ as a Present to American Offshore Companies'…. Some in Serbia object to the plan because of the United States' role in the bombing 25 years ago."

Dragan Jonic is among the Serbian MPs voicing his opposition to the deal.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) are among the Democrats who have been speaking out against Kushner's activities in Europe.

In a March, Raskin and Garcia warned, "Jared Kushner is pursuing new foreign business deals, just as Donald Trump becomes the presumptive Republican nominee for the presidency."
