In a recent court session, defense attorney Todd Blanche made a request to Judge Juan Merchan on behalf of President Trump. Blanche asked for Trump to be given the opportunity to publicly address the events that transpired over the past day and a half, particularly in response to Stormy Daniels' testimony.
The defense team is seeking permission for Trump to comment on Daniels' story, with the intention of addressing and countering the media coverage that has emerged. Blanche emphasized that the recent press reports on the matter are deemed as false by their side and hold significant implications.
Blanche highlighted the importance of allowing Trump to respond to the new version of events that have surfaced, which he claims diverge from the original narrative of a 2006 sexual encounter. The defense team is keen on ensuring that Trump has the opportunity to address the evolving situation and provide his perspective on the matter.
