Defense attorney Todd Blanche has made statements regarding Donald Trump's comments on David Pecker, the former CEO of the National Enquirer's parent company. Blanche argues that Trump's remarks 'sidestepped' the question about Pecker's testimony during a recent interview.
Blanche further stated that Trump's response was 'very factual' and 'neutral,' indicating that it was not intended as a warning or commentary on what Pecker might say. According to Blanche, Trump's comments should be viewed in a straightforward manner without any underlying implications.
During the interview, Trump addressed Pecker's potential testimony without providing any specific details or opinions on the matter. Blanche emphasized that Trump's response was not meant to influence or interpret Pecker's future statements.
Blanche's perspective sheds light on the legal strategy employed by the defense team in handling inquiries related to Pecker's involvement. By characterizing Trump's comments as factual and neutral, Blanche aims to downplay any insinuations of impropriety or premeditation in Trump's communication.
As the legal proceedings continue, the interpretation of Trump's statements regarding David Pecker will likely remain a point of contention. Blanche's defense strategy underscores the importance of clarifying the context and intent behind Trump's words to avoid misinterpretation or misrepresentation.
