Trump's Hush Money Trial in New York

The closing arguments in Trump's Hush Money trial emphasized the credibility of key witness Michael Cohen. Defense lawyers labeled Cohen as a convicted liar, while prosecutors alleged a Hush Money scheme that may have influenced Trump's 2016 election. Trump was accused of being aware of and directing efforts to manipulate business records, specifically relating to a payment made to Stormy Daniels. Robert De Niro's presence outside the courthouse added a theatrical element to the proceedings, highlighting the gravity of potentially convicting a former U.S. president.
