“Trump Attorney Exposes Lies in Bank Statement Repayment to Cohen”
In a recent court case, Trump attorney Todd Blanche revealed a bank statement summing up a $420,000 repayment to former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg. Blanche argued that the document contained lies and suggested a conspiracy involving Cohen, Weisselberg, and Trump. Witnesses testified that they were unaware of why Weisselberg increased the payment, with Cohen stating he only cared about receiving his money. Blanche emphasized that the idea of Trump agreeing to overpay Cohen was absurd, questioning Cohen’s credibility in his testimony.
“Blanche Disputes Cohen’s Testimony in Trump Tower Meeting”
Blanche also criticized Cohen’s account of a meeting at Trump Tower, where Weisselberg allegedly informed Cohen of a repayment plan. Blanche argued that there was no corroboration of this meeting or plan, casting doubt on Cohen’s credibility. Blanche questioned the jury’s belief in Cohen’s testimony that he would work for Trump without payment, highlighting the lack of evidence to support Cohen’s claims.
“Blanche Defends Trump Against Allegations of Conspiracy”
Furthermore, Blanche defended Trump against allegations of conspiracy, stating that there was nothing sinister about Trump’s personal checks being sent to employees’ addresses. Blanche emphasized that Trump had no involvement in the checks approved by Eric Trump and Don Jr., suggesting that the prosecution could have called them to testify if they believed they were part of the conspiracy. Blanche highlighted the lack of evidence linking Trump to the alleged scheme, urging the jury to consider reasonable doubt in their deliberations.
