As the former president sat with his eyes closed every so often, prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told the jury that Trump lied “over and over” in his quest to win.
Donald Trump was allegedly part of a fraudulent conspiracy to “catch and kill” damning stories that could have derailed his chances of becoming president, including a tryst with a porn star, an affair with a Playboy Playmate and a love child born out of wedlock.
“This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a cover-up: an illegal conspiracy to undermine the presidential integrity of an election and then the steps that the defendant took to conceal that election fraud,” he said.his client was “cloaked in innocence”“I have a spoiler alert,” Blanche added. “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election. It’s called democracy.
The second deal involved former Trump World Tower doorman Dino Sajudin, who prosecutors say was paid $US30,000 by AMI to suppress an unsubstantiated allegation about Trump fathering a child out of wedlock with a concierge. He also sought to discredit Cohen, citing his past tax and finance convictions, his history of lying to Congress, and his podcasts and media appearances in which “he rants and he raves about president Trump”.As for Daniels, Blanche told the court that she met Trump at a time when he was host of the reality TV show, and while the pair had discussed “new opportunities” for Daniels, “it didn’t work out”.
