Key Points from Trump Lawyer’s Closing Arguments in Trial
In a dramatic turn of events, Blanche, the defense lawyer for former President Trump, has made some bold statements during the trial. Blanche insists that there was no felony falsification of business records because even if there was a conspiracy to influence the election, it was not carried out through any “unlawful means.” He argues that Trump’s knowledge is not required, as long as a member of the conspiracy undertook those “unlawful means.”
Blanche also made headlines by accusing Michael Cohen, a key witness in the case, of being the “MVP of liars.” He claimed that Cohen has lied to his family, bankers, the Federal Election Commission, reporters, Congress, prosecutors, business associates, and bosses.
Furthermore, Blanche raised his voice in accusing Cohen of lying under oath, pointing out specific instances where Cohen’s testimony was allegedly false. He also accused the prosecution of using Stormy Daniels to inflame the jury’s emotions and embarrass the former president.
In a surprising move, Blanche portrayed Trump as the victim of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, claiming that the release of the video was a personal event for Trump and not a motivation to break the law.
The trial took a break, but Blanche is expected to continue his closing arguments for another 30 to 40 minutes. The courtroom is buzzing with anticipation as the case unfolds with each new revelation and accusation. Stay tuned for more updates on this high-profile trial.
