Trump's Lawyer Calls for Quick Acquittal in Hush Money Trial

Defense lawyer Todd Blanche argued for former President Donald Trump's acquittal in his hush money trial, where Trump faces thirty-four counts of falsifying business records. The case focuses on a one hundred thirty thousand dollar payment to Stormy Daniels made in 2016. Prosecutors argue Trump falsified records to protect his campaign; the jury's decision could impact Trump's 2024 presidential bid.
In New York, defense lawyer Todd Blanche argued for former President Donald Trump's acquittal in a trial over hush money payments.

Trump faces up to four years in prison for each of the 34 counts if convicted.

The case revolves around accusations that Trump falsified records to reimburse lawyer Michael Cohen for a one hundred thirty thousand dollar payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Blanche attacked Cohen's credibility, describing him as the 'MVP of liars' and argued that Trump did not commit any crimes.

The jury's decision is critical, given its potential impact on Trump's 2024 presidential bid.

Prosecutors contend that Trump falsified records to maintain his campaign's viability against Hillary Clinton.
