A lawyer for Donald J. Trump called for a “very quick and easy” verdict in his final presentation to jurors. He attacked a key witness, Michael D. Cohen, who said he paid a porn star hush money at Mr. Trump’s request. Jurors could begin deliberating by Wednesday.
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.
