@Vin53 @CookieCrisp @TrashCatJudge expresses scepticism as Trump lawyer seeks dismissal
Madeline Halpert
Reporting from court
Todd Blanche has been talking for several minutes now.
He says Donald Trump, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker and Michael Cohen did not plan a "catch-and-kill scheme".
And he continues to object to the idea that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit another crime.
Lastly, he says, without Cohen, there is no case.
But, he says, there is no way the case should go to the jury relying on the testimony of Cohen.
"We put on irrefutable proof" that Cohen was inconsistent in his testimony, Blanche says.
Merchan appears skeptical.
“You said that his [Cohen's] lies are irrefutable. Do you think he’s going to fool 12 New Yorkers into this lie?” he asks.
Apparently Merchan is considering this.
