During the ongoing trial, Trump attorney Todd Blanche emphasized to jurors that the Trump Organization consistently categorized any expenses related to legal matters as 'legal expenses' within the company's financial system. Blanche argued that the government's attempt to portray this practice as criminal was unfounded.
Blanche vehemently refuted the notion that labeling legal expenses as such could be considered a criminal act. He described the government's allegations as absurd and baseless.
