A lawyer for Donald J. Trump attacked a key witness’s testimony in his closing argument. Jurors could begin deliberating by Wednesday on the 34 felony counts Mr. Trump faces in connection with a hush-money payment to a porn star before the 2016 election.
Following the live coverage so far, it seems like Blanche is just regurgitating the same thing over and over and over: Cohen is a liar, Trump and Daniels never had sex, and everyone in his organization was actually out to get him the entire time. He seems especially fixated on the fact that Cohen is a liar, which everybody knew about already. Let’s be realistic: Every member of that jury had already decided whether or not to believe Cohen’s testimony long before he even took the stand. I’m not entirely sure what reminding them that he’s a liar over and over is expected to accomplish at this point.
