COURT UPDATE: Judge Merchan Screams at Trump Lawyer Todd Blanche for Saying That Trump Shouldn’t Be Sent to Prison Over a Non-Crime – EVOL

Former President Trump returned to court Tuesday morning for closing arguments in the highly publicized “hush money” trial led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in New York City.

In April 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted former President Trump on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ made to Stormy Daniels.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, also known as Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen. The alleged scheme aimed to silence Daniels and prevent the story of their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

Alvin Bragg did not specify the exact charges he sought to convict Trump of in the charging documents. Bragg has yet to identify the predicate crimes clearly. Nevertheless, the court appears poised to find Trump guilty and potentially sentence him to prison.

Judge Merchan facilitated the prosecution’s case by ruling in favor of Bragg’s team, stating that the jury does not need to reach a unanimous decision on the specific “predicate” crime Trump may have committed. This decision makes it easier for the jury to convict Trump.
