President Trump's attorney, Todd Blanch, expressed his astonishment at the unprecedented nature of the case against his client. Blanch highlighted the unique challenges faced, including a Biden donor judge, family conflicts, and a district attorney who ran on an anti-Trump platform. The case involved a novel legal theory and inaccuracies presented by the defense during closing arguments.
Blanch emphasized the lack of clarity regarding the charges and the underlying crimes throughout the trial, making it a challenging battle from the start. Despite the tough road, Blanch asserted that President Trump emerged as the victor, as evident from his recent statements.
Looking ahead, Blanch mentioned plans for an appeal, citing numerous grounds for challenging the verdict. He expressed confidence in a favorable outcome on appeal, aiming to secure President Trump's exoneration.
Regarding the sentencing scheduled for July 11th, Blanch's primary goal is to prevent President Trump from serving any prison time. He argued that given Trump's status as a former president and the nature of the alleged crimes, imprisonment would be unjust.
Blanch acknowledged the possibility of an expedited appeal and stressed the intention to pursue all available legal avenues, including appellate courts and potentially the Supreme Court. He criticized the timing of the case, initiated shortly after Trump announced his re-election bid, suggesting political motivations behind the prosecution.
In conclusion, Blanch reiterated the determination to continue fighting for justice, condemning what he described as a 'travesty of justice' that has unfolded over the past year and a half.
