In the ongoing trial involving former President Donald Trump, his long-time assistant, Rhona Graff, recently testified about her 34-year tenure at the Trump Organization. Graff, who worked closely with Trump at Trump Tower, is seen as an opportunity for the defense to humanize the former president in the eyes of the jury.
According to CNN's chief legal analyst, Laura Coates, the defense is taking a softer approach with Graff compared to the previous witness, David Pecker, the former tabloid publisher. Pecker had testified about efforts to suppress negative stories during Trump's 2016 campaign. The defense, however, also aimed to portray Trump in a positive light by asking Pecker if he believed Trump cares about his family, to which Pecker responded affirmatively.
