During the ongoing trial involving former President Donald Trump, a key point raised by his defense team is the absence of certain witnesses who could have corroborated Michael Cohen's testimony. Specifically, Alan Weisselberg and Keith Schiller were not called to testify, despite their potential to confirm crucial conversations.
Michael Cohen had relayed conversations with Alan Weisselberg, but the prosecution did not summon him to verify these exchanges. Similarly, Keith Schiller, another individual who could have shed light on a particular call, was not brought in for questioning.
The defense team believes that the prosecution's decision not to call these witnesses could work in their favor. However, the reasons behind this omission remain unclear. Alan Weisselberg, currently incarcerated, may not have been inclined to cooperate with the prosecution. On the other hand, Keith Schiller, a close confidant of Trump, has been out of the public eye for some time.
Notably, Trump appeared fatigued during the proceedings, understandable given his age and the taxing nature of the trial. His team is hopeful that the extended deliberation period indicates a positive outcome for the former president. With Trump's birthday approaching on June 14th, the timing of the trial adds an extra layer of significance to the proceedings.
