Donald Trump's defense lawyer Todd Blanche has been making some 'rookie mistakes' in the former president's criminal hush money trial, MSNBC legal analyst Barbara McQuade said on Saturday.Trump, the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, became the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case last month.
Commenting on his cross-examination strategy, McQuade told Newsweek that 'Blanche frequently asked one question too many by trying to get Cohen to admit to lying. Such a question simply invites the witness to deny the allegation.' Instead, she believes that 'a better strategy is to simply point out the inconsistency and then argue to the jury that Cohen is lying.'Newsweek has reached out to Blanche for comment via email.
