During the ongoing court proceedings, it has been revealed that Brad Smith, an expert in election law, could potentially be the next witness called by the defense. It is speculated that he might be their sole witness unless the former president decides to testify. The defense team, particularly Emile Bove, Trump's attorney, is planning to question Smith on the definitions of 'expenditure' and 'contribution' in relation to the case.
Currently, the discussions are taking place in the absence of the jury and Michael Cohen, with the focus on clarifying the distinctions between the two terms. Bove emphasized the importance of understanding these definitions, indicating that they are crucial in the context of the case.
