Deep dives
Invoices and Intent to Defraud
The defense argues that President Trump had no intent to defraud based on the creation of invoices by Cohen. Trump disclosed the payments to Cohen and filed the correct tax returns, suggesting no fraudulent activity. The defense questions the intent to influence the 2016 election through falsified documents, especially since Trump was already president during this time.
No Falsification of Business Records
The defense emphasizes that the documents were not falsified, indicating that any discussions of falsification are baseless. This challenges the prosecution's narrative regarding the nature of the business records presented in the case.
Illegal Election Influence and Catch-and-Kill Practices
The defense refutes claims of illegal election influence and catch-and-kill practices, highlighting inconsistencies in the alleged schemes involving Trump, Cohen, and media figures. They argue that these actions were not unlawful or unique to Trump's campaign.
Manipulation of Evidence and Cohen's Credibility
The defense points out mistakes and discrepancies in the prosecution's presentation of evidence, specifically highlighting issues with audio recordings and Michael Cohen's credibility. They call into question the reliability of Cohen's statements and actions throughout the case.
Trump's Involvement in a Scheme
Trump's alleged involvement in a scheme to pay off an accounting professional was discussed. The scheme included Cohen agreeing to pay her off with the intent to be repaid, making it look like legal expenses when it was actually a reimbursement. The narrative relies heavily on Michael Cohen's account of events, highlighting his credibility as a key point for the defense.
Challenges of Cohen's Testimony
The credibility of Michael Cohen's testimony in the case was questioned due to his shifting allegiances from being pro-Trump to anti-Trump. The defense argued that Cohen's past behavior of being untruthful and opportunistic undermines his reliability as a witness. Cohen's centrality in the case was emphasized as a major point for the defense to challenge.
Political Panic Over Election Prospects
Democrats' anxiety over President Biden's election prospects was highlighted, especially in light of potential support for Trump among certain demographics. A shift towards skepticism regarding Biden's ability to win the election was noted, leading to concerns among Democratic party leaders. The potential impact of Biden's campaign strategy and ad placements in response to these worries was analyzed, revealing a sense of urgency and concern within the Democratic camp.
