What each side said in Trump trial closing arguments Donald Trump's historic hush-money trial edged closer to its conclusion on Tuesday as the prosecution and defence made their closing arguments to the court.
In the defence's final pitch, Mr Trump's lead lawyer attacked Michael Cohen - his former fixer and the prosecution's star witness - as the "greatest liar of all time". Prosecutors then launched into a lengthy rebuttal, portraying Cohen as a flawed "tour guide" to a "mountain" of evidence against Mr Trump. Twelve jurors will soon be asked to decide if the former president, and presumptive Republican nominee for November's election, is guilty beyond reasonable doubt of falsifying business records. Over the past six weeks, Mr Trump, 77, has sat through days of testimony regarding a hush-money payment made before the 2016 election to Stormy Daniels, a former adult-film star, in exchange for her silence over an alleged sexual encounter. Prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office claim Mr Trump falsified business records on 34 counts when he reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000 (£102,000) payment and recorded it as legal fees. They have further claimed he was motivated by an intent to unlawfully influence the 2016 race. Over several hours on Tuesday, Mr Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche argued passionately that Mr Trump had no intention of either falsifying business records or committing election interference. He attacked the credibility of Cohen, who he called the "human embodiment of reasonable doubt". Mr Blanche reminded jurors that Cohen had been jailed for lying under oath, that he had acknowledged stealing from his former employer and that he now lived with "an axe to grind" against Mr Trump. “He's literally like an MVP of liars," he said. Mr Trump swivelled in his chair and watched as his attorney railed against the case, occasionally closing his eyes as he has often been seen to do.
