Live Updates: Closing Arguments to Begin in Trump Criminal Trial
Donald J. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush-money payment made to a porn star before the 2016 election. The case could be in the jury’s hands as early as Wednesday.
For comparison, live coverage from:
A wild time to be a a citizen of the USA. No matter what the verdict is I expect large portions of the US to announce it was rigged somehow. And all because trump couldn't just jerk it to porn like normal people.
“They used facts and wouldn’t let Trump lie in his own defense! SHAM TRIAL!!”
i half expect a hung jury. there's bound to be one maga on the jury that won't budge.
According to reporting on the jury selection process, one of the jurors reported that their primary news source was Truth Social... so it's a distinct possibility. In the case of a lone holdout, though, the judge and the rest of the jury are both likely to lean hard on them to get with the program.
Definitely possible.
Following the live coverage so far, it seems like Blanche is just regurgitating the same thing over and over and over: Cohen is a liar, Trump and Daniels never had sex, and everyone in his organization was actually out to get him the entire time. He seems especially fixated on the fact that Cohen is a liar, which everybody knew about already. Let's be realistic: Every member of that jury had already decided whether or not to believe Cohen's testimony long before he even took the stand. I'm not entirely sure what reminding them that he's a liar over and over is expected to accomplish at this point.
