Trial

 NY Times: Live Updates: Defense Urges Jurors Not to Believe ‘Lies’ in Trump’s Criminal Trial - Closing arguments have begun in the trial of Donald J. Trump, who faces 34 felony counts in connection with a hush-money payment to a porn star before the 2016 election. The jury could have the case by Wednesday.

The lawyer, Todd Blanche, assailed Mr. Cohen’s credibility in his closing argument, telling the jury that they “cannot convict President Trump on any crime beyond a reasonable doubt on the words of Michael Cohen.”
