Trump lawyer accuses Michael Cohen of lying

In the ongoing hush-money trial, Donald Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, made a strong attempt to paint Michael Cohen as a liar by questioning his credibility and truthfulness. The trial, which revolves around the alleged payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels, focuses on Cohen’s testimony regarding his conversation with Mr. Trump about the payout.

During the trial, Blanche accused Cohen of lying about the key conversation he had with Mr. Trump’s bodyguard in October 2016, suggesting that they discussed prank calls instead of the hush-money payment. This move was aimed at casting doubt on Cohen’s previous testimony and credibility.

The trial also delves into the details of Cohen’s guilty plea for lying to Congress, his criminal record, and his alleged vendetta against Mr. Trump. Blanche highlighted Cohen’s public criticism of the former president and his desire to see Trump face legal consequences.

The courtroom drama intensified as Blanche played recordings from Cohen’s podcast where he expressed negative sentiments towards Trump. Additionally, Blanche confronted Cohen with past social media posts where he disparaged the former president. Through these tactics, Trump’s legal team sought to discredit Cohen as a witness with ulterior motives.

Despite Cohen’s efforts to maintain the veracity of his claims, Blanche’s aggressive questioning and presentation of evidence sought to undermine his credibility. The trial serves as a battleground where the prosecution and the defence clash over the narrative of events and attempt to sway the jury’s opinion.

The public interest in the trial is evident, with long lines of people waiting to enter the courtroom and heightened media coverage of the proceedings. Politicians, including Republican members of Congress, and prominent figures connected to the case have been closely following the trial.

As the legal battle unfolds, the implications of the case on Trump’s presidency, his alleged involvement in the hush-money scheme, and the credibility of key witnesses like Cohen remain at the forefront. The trial’s outcome could have significant repercussions on Trump’s political future and public perception, making it a closely watched and contentious legal proceeding.
