During the ongoing legal proceedings involving Michael Cohen and Donald Trump, it has been revealed that Trump's legal team is preparing a rigorous cross-examination of Cohen. The Chief Legal Correspondent highlighted that the defense strategy will likely focus on portraying Cohen as a dishonest individual seeking revenge against his former boss.
The defense team plans to undermine Cohen's credibility by presenting a multimedia display that includes clips from his podcast, excerpts from his book, and various interviews where he has criticized Trump over the past six years. The goal is to paint Cohen as a liar with ulterior motives.
However, the analyst cautioned that Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, must approach the cross-examination carefully to avoid generating sympathy for Cohen. It is emphasized that a delicate balance needs to be maintained to effectively challenge Cohen's testimony without inadvertently bolstering his credibility.
The upcoming cross-examination is described as a significant test for the defense team, as it will shape their case in the legal proceedings. The analyst noted that Blanche's focus has primarily been on preparing for the confrontation with Cohen, indicating the importance attached to discrediting Cohen's statements.
