Former President Donald Trump's attorney, Todd Blanch, expressed concerns about the fairness of the trial following the recent verdict. Blanch highlighted the challenges faced in obtaining a fair trial in Manhattan, citing various decisions made by the judge that they disagreed with. He emphasized the importance of judges recusing themselves if there is even a perception of bias.
Blanch raised issues such as a gag order affecting Trump's ability to respond to criticisms during his campaign and the unusual nature of the case involving Trump's personal records from 2017. He criticized the prosecution's portrayal of the case as routine, stating that it was not a common occurrence in Manhattan or any jurisdiction.
