During the trial, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass highlighted the intricate scheme devised to conceal the truth regarding payments made to Stormy Daniels. Steinglass emphasized that instead of opting for a straightforward approach of paying Daniels directly, former president Donald J. Trump chose a path of deception.
Steinglass described the operation as a deliberate effort to obfuscate the facts, with all signs pointing towards Trump as the primary beneficiary. The prosecution pointed out a web of lies, shell companies, encrypted communication apps, and other tactics employed to maintain secrecy.
The overarching theme, according to Steinglass, was concealment, with Trump being at the center of it all. The prosecution's argument suggests that Trump orchestrated a complex strategy to avoid direct payment to Daniels, ultimately benefiting himself the most.
