Trump Lawyer SCREWS UP BADLY in Final Moments of Trial
In a chaotic trial moment, Trump's lawyer nearly triggered a mistrial with a jumbled closing argument. His confusing sports metaphors left the jury baffled while inadvertently admitting Trump's involvement in the conspiracy. The prosecution's case appears robust, bolstered by corroborating evidence beyond Michael Cohen. Despite weak counters, Blanche’s flawed strategies raised questions on effectiveness. With the judge’s curative instruction in play, potential appeal issues loom as the jury deliberates on a likely conviction.

Trump Lawyers' 'MISSING WITNESS" to Play KEY Role in Closing?!
Trump’s lawyers will mention the “missing witness” of the disgraced Trump CFO Allen Weisselberg so much in closing argument to the jury, that we could make it into a drinking game. Michael Popok explains how both the prosecution and defense will try to use Allen Weisselberg’s participation in the criminal conspiracy to their unique advantage, and why the jury instructions won’t help the jury sort it out.
