Trump Attorney Questions Existence Of Key Email In Trial

Attorney John Eastman gestures as he speaks next to U.S. President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani at the January 6 Trump rally on the Ellipse in Washington

During the trial involving former President Donald Trump's business dealings, Trump attorney Todd Blanche presented a crucial piece of evidence to the jury. The evidence in question was an email sent by Jeffrey McConney, the former long-time Trump Organization controller, seeking approval from Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump.

Blanche highlighted the significance of this email, suggesting that it contradicts the notion of an existing agreement to pay Michael Cohen for a cover-up. He pointed out that if there was already a decision to pay Cohen $35,000 a month discreetly, there would be no need to seek approval from Trump's sons.
