NEW YORK — In a highly anticipated conclusion to the New York hush money trial, counsel for former President Donald Trump delivered a meticulous closing argument aimed at discrediting the prosecution’s case and instilling reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.

Speaking calmly and methodically, defense attorney Todd Blanche guided the jury through key pieces of evidence, emphasizing that the case led by prosecutors with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s office hinged on the unreliable testimony of Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
