    Defense & prosecution aren’t agreeing on Pecker's #TrumpTowerMeeting testimony.

  5. #Steinglass says that soon it will be time to deliberate and that the jurors should return & find #Trump guilty on all 34 counts against him. He asks that, in the interest of #justice & the state of #NewYork, the jurors find Trump guilty. He thanks the jurors for their time & he’s done.

    #ClosingArguments have ended in the first #criminal trial of an American president.

  10. #Steinglass says that the evidence is overwhelming & that while #Trump is a former president, the #law applies to him the same as it does to everyone else.

    Specifically, Steinglass invokes Trump’s infamous line about being able to shoot someone on Fifth Avenue & get away with it, saying that he in fact can’t. Blanche objects, & Merchan sustains it.

    Trump shakes his head as Steinglass says this line.

  14. #Steinglass says that #Trump’s #intent to #defraud could not be any clearer, arguing that Trump could have simply paid #StormyDaniels himself, but instead devised an elaborate scheme to pay Daniels secretly that required the involvement of at least 10 other people. “Everything Mr. Trump & his cohorts did in this case was cloaked in lies,” Steinglass says, adding, “The name of the game was concealment, & all roads lead to the man who benefited the most, Donald Trump.”

  18. #Steinglass again shows the jury People’s Exhibit 350, a chart created by the prosecutors that summarizes the 34 counts. Earlier, Steinglass specifically called out this exhibit & told the jury that they could request to see this document during their deliberations. It will be interesting to see if they take him up on that when they start to deliberate tomorrow.

    Steinglass says the prosecution presented a “mountain of evidence” related to its theory of the #Trump Tower #conspiracy.

  22. #Steinglass tells the jurors that thejudge will explain reasonable doubt to them and & them to listen carefully. He reminds them of the concept of #AccessorialLiability: That a person who directs someone to commit a #crime is equally guilty of that crime. Steinglass brings up his preferred analogy for this, the husband who hires a hitman to kill his wife. The defense objects & the judge sustains it: It is his role to explain the #law, not Steinglass’s.

  30. #Steinglass offers 3 rebuttals of the defense’s argument that #MichaelCohen acted on
    his own, without Trump’s knowledge.

    1. #Trump was a micromanager who was directly involved w/the details both of his business and his political campaign.

    2. Cohen was & is a self-promoter & it “defies all common sense” that he’d undertake these extensive efforts on behalf of Trump & keep it to himself.

    3. Trump was the only one who would have benefitted from the scheme.

  34. #Steinglass makes a specific argument — that #MichaelCohen wasn’t just freelancing, as the #Trump lawyers have suggested repeatedly trying to distance Trump from the events in the case. It’s a microcosm of scenarios we’ve seen over & over w/Trump for decades.
    #SEC investigators are told that staffers made mistakes, or reporters are told Trump was never really involved in specific controversies & aides actually had.

  50. #Steinglass says there’s no reason to believe that #MichaelCohen didn’t alert #Trump to #StormyDaniels’s story in early Oct 2016.

    He reviews the evidence from that month that corroborates Cohen’s testimony, including his calls w/Trump.

    Steinglass rhetorically asks, “Is this timing just all a coincidence, every single one of these things?” Then says, “Mr. Trump is being kept abreast of every development.”
