Results for: Defense Attorney Todd Blanche

In closing arguments, Trump’s attorneys declared his innocence and asserted that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg failed to meet the burden of proof. Defense attorney Todd Blanche dismissed the charges as a paper case and emphasized that Trump had nothing to do with payments to Michael Cohen. Blanche questioned Cohen’s credibility, calling him the human embodiment of reasonable doubt and accusing him of lying repeatedly. The defense presented evidence to support claims that payments were accurate, there was no intent to defraud, and the alleged catch and kill scheme was not illegal. The jury is now tasked with deciding Trump’s guilt or innocence based on evidence and witness testimony.

In the ongoing New York hush money criminal trial, Donald Trump’s fragile ego is facing a barrage of humiliations. The first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, painted a damning picture of Trump as a sleazy poseur associated with tabloids and scheming hucksters. Prosecutor Matthew Colangelo graphically detailed Trump’s alleged crimes, including cheating on his wife, hush money payments, and a conspiracy with the National Enquirer to suppress scandalous stories. Despite his defense attorney’s attempts to portray Trump as above reproach, Trump’s seething demeanor and history of surrounding himself with shady characters undermine any credibility. The trial highlights Trump’s unsuitability for leadership and his preference for the gutter over a throne.
