Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s hush money case against former President Donald Trump is falling apart.
A massive number of legal experts said that the case was weak from the start but now some experts have said the case is getting weaker with each witness.
Criminal defense attorney Bill Brennan, who used to represent the former president, national security attorney Carrie Cordero and another of the former president’s previous attorneys, Michael van der Veen said Bragg’s case is doomed.
“This witness is perfect for Todd Blanche, and all the people second-guessing each and every question, sit down, get your popcorn now, let Mr. Blanche do his job,”Brennean said to CNN host Jake Tapper. “And the judge will charge to this jury, Jake, that if a witness has a bias, or a skin in the game, you take that testimony with caution. The witness is supposed to say they robbed the bank, they drove the car, it was blue and it was raining out. Not I want him in jail, I got a little silly little tee shirt on. This Cohen is reprehensible.”
“I think there‘s a good argument in favor of doing that,” Cordero said to Tapper regarding the defense resting its case. “Unless they really think that there‘s something that comes out from Michael Cohen‘s testimony, I think at this point there would be a strong argument for the defense to just stand up and say, look, the prosecution hasn’t met its burden in this case. Here’s all the things that they have to prove. They haven‘t gotten there. And it’s time for everybody to go home. I don‘t know that they”ll do that, but I think there’s an argument in favor of that.”
The host said he believes that the former president wants his attorneys to keep fighting, but that may not be the wise decision in this case.
“I think he’d like to push, push, push and get as many witnesses on as he can, but I think the strategy is probably right,” van der Veen said. “This case hasn’t gone in the way I think it was billed to go in. So as the as the days go on and this case looks weaker and weaker, I think it‘s probably less that they have to put on for defense.”
