Donald Trump's attorney Todd Blanche is currently delivering closing arguments as the defense seeks to appeal to the 12-person jury. Blanche is speaking from a podium that is turned to face the jury, emphasizing the importance of his words.
The defense team is expected to revisit key arguments made during the trial, particularly focusing on the alleged falsified documents. According to a source, the defense will argue that the documents in question were not falsified because Michael Cohen was working as a lawyer for President Trump in 2017.
Blanche and his team plan to present evidence to support this argument, highlighting how the $420,000 Cohen earned in 2017 was comparable to his earnings in 2016 while working for Trump. By drawing parallels between the two years, the defense aims to demonstrate that Cohen's actions were consistent with his role as Trump's lawyer.
