During the ongoing trial involving former President Donald Trump, his attorney Todd Blanche presented compelling evidence to the jury. Blanche replayed two clips from Michael Cohen's 'Mea Culpa' podcast, where Cohen made controversial statements regarding Trump and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
In the first clip, Cohen expressed his delight at the thought of Trump being booked, while in the second clip, he praised the Manhattan DA's office and Alvin Bragg. These statements caught the attention of one of the jurors, who glanced over at Bragg in the courtroom.
Blanche pointed out to the jury that Cohen had lied in the podcast by claiming he had frequent meetings with Bragg when, in reality, they had never met. This revelation raised questions about the credibility of Cohen's statements and his motives behind them.
Furthermore, Blanche highlighted a tweet by Cohen promoting a t-shirt featuring Trump in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. Blanche emphasized to the jury that Cohen's lies were intended to protect himself and not serve any other purpose.
The presentation of these clips and tweets by Blanche aimed to undermine Cohen's credibility and portray him as someone willing to fabricate information to suit his own interests. The jury was urged to consider the context of Cohen's statements and the potential biases that may have influenced his words.
As the trial continues, the significance of these revelations from Cohen's podcast and social media activity will likely play a crucial role in shaping the jury's perception of the case and the individuals involved.
