During the trial regarding the nondisclosure agreement (NDA) between President Trump and Stormy Daniels, Trump's attorney Todd Blanche emphasized that there was nothing illegal about entering into the NDA. Blanche clarified that Trump might not have been aware of the agreement while he was campaigning, suggesting that only Michael Cohen claimed Trump's knowledge of it during the trial.
Blanche raised a crucial question to the jury about the prosecution's decision to involve Stormy Daniels in the case. He pointed out that Daniels had no knowledge of Trump's internal business affairs and questioned the relevance of her testimony, insinuating that it was a tactic to provoke emotional responses and embarrass the President.
Despite objections from Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass, Judge Juan Merchan allowed Blanche to make these assertions in court. Blanche reiterated his belief that Daniels' involvement was intended to sway the jury's emotions and tarnish Trump's reputation.
The defense's argument centered on the idea that the prosecution's tactics were aimed at manipulating the jury rather than presenting relevant evidence. Blanche's statements sought to undermine the credibility of Daniels' testimony and cast doubt on the motives behind calling her as a witness.
As the trial unfolded, the contrasting narratives presented by the defense and prosecution highlighted the contentious nature of the case. Blanche's assertions shed light on the strategic maneuvers employed by both sides to sway the outcome in their favor.
