Todd Blanche, the attorney representing Donald Trump, has drawn criticism for his performance during Tuesday’s contempt hearing, with experts questioning whether he can emerge from the case without damaging his reputation. Blanche has been accused of crossing ethical boundaries in defending Trump, who is accused of falsifying business records to cover up a sex scandal ahead of the 2016 election. Despite these concerns, Blanche appears to be fulfilling his client’s wishes, as there is no evidence that his work has been unethical. However, legal experts argue that Blanche could have done more to present a plan to the judge that would have given Trump some wiggle room. Blanche’s failure to do so has left him vulnerable to criticism, with some speculating that Trump may be seeking to represent himself due to his dissatisfaction with his attorney’s performance.
