Blanche now says: “The (Trump Organization) bookings were accurate and there was no attempt of fraud.”
“There was no attempt at influencing the 2016 election by President Trump or the folks at AMI.”

Blanche: Two things you need to find: 1) false entries and 2) that President Trump attempted to commit fraud.
“That is not all you need to find, but I suspect that you won’t have to go further, because the entries were correct and there was no attempt at fraud.”

Blanche: “The words that Michael Cohen said to you on that witness stand matter. He took an oath, and he told you a number of lies, plain and simple.”

Attorney calls Trump 'innocent,' attacks testimony from witnesses at trial
Trump attorney Todd Blanche started his opening arguments by claiming that Donald Trump is "innocent' and committed no crimes.
"President Trump is innocent, he did not commit any crimes, and the district attorney has not met their burden of proof, period," Blanche fired earlier.
Blanche has been picking at witnesses who appeared at trial, including Michael Cohen.
"The evidence should leave you wanting more. You should want and expect more than the testimony of Michael Cohen," Blanche said.
As for Keith Davidson, Stormy Daniels' attorney, he said a jury should "demand more" than his testimony because he "really was just trying to extort money from President Trump in the lead up to the 2016 election."
Regarding Daniels, who testified that she had sex with Trump at a golf course, Blanche said: “This case – this case is about documents. It’s a paper case. This case is not about an encounter with Stormy Daniels 18 years ago, an encounter President Trump has unequivocally and repeatedly denied ever occurred."

This is such a bogus trial in yet another attempt to interfere with an election.
I think that they will fine him. Jail time for an ex-president who is entitled to SS protection?
The judge should have dismissed this trial a long time ago. At best a hung jury.

Blanche brings up exhibit of an invoice sent by Cohen and the check signed by President Trump.
“It should not surprise you that President Trump was working early mornings and late nights in the White House.”

Blanche: I don’t think there’s even a dispute about this, Cohen was rendering services from President Trump. In 2017, Michael Cohen was President Trump’s personal attorney.
This was true. Cohen testified that there were outstanding matters that he was dealing with for President Trump.
