Trump trial live: Closing arguments begin in New York court
Todd Blanche begins by telling the jury that “President Trump is innocent”.
“The district attorney has not met their burden of proof, period,” he says.
Blanche then begins a two-pronged argument.
“This case is about documents,” he says, adding that it’s not about Stormy Daniels or the hush money she was paid.
Rather, he says, it’s about the business records at the heart of the case – which he argues were not falsified.
“The booking was accurate, and there was absolutely no intent to defraud.”
Then, as expected, Blanche tries to discredit some of the key witnesses in the case, including Daniels, her former lawyer Keith Davidson, and Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen.
He said Cohen’s testimony contained “lies, pure and simple” and the jury could not convict Trump based on Cohen’s word.
