Former President Donald Trump speaks to his attorney Todd Blanche before the start of proceedings in Manhattan Criminal Court, Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in New York. NEW YORK — Defense attorney Todd Blanche on Tuesday said Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness against former President Donald Trump, is the “greatest liar of all time,” leaning heavily into sports metaphors in his closing argument.
Prosecutors allege Mr. Trump used Mr. Cohen, his lawyer-turned-accuser, to pay $130,000 to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election because she was shopping a story about an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump in 2006. They say Mr. Trump orchestrated an illegal plot to conceal repayment to Mr. Cohen.
