Donald Trump’s defense lawyer Todd Blanche could only offer a confusing explanation when asked on CNN on Thursday about the former president’s complaint earlier this week that certain witnesses had not been called to appear at his New York hush money trial.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee became the first president in American history to be convicted of a crime on Thursday after the jury unanimously agreed that he had falsified business records to hide a $130,000 payout to the adult film star Stormy Daniels in October 2016 to ensure her silence over an alleged sexual encounter, which might have jeopardised his election prospects had it become public knowledge.
