Jurors cannot convict Donald Trump based on the testimony of “MVP of liars” Michael Cohen, defense attorneys argued Tuesday — as tensions flared between protesters outside the Manhattan courthouse where the historic criminal trial against the former president neared its end.
Anti-Trump protesters and supporters of the presumptive GOP presidential nominee got into a scuffle outside Manhattan Supreme Court during dueling press conferences by the 2024 campaigns for Trump and President Biden — the latter of which featured a fired-up Robert De Niro speaking to a crowd of dozens.
Inside the courthouse, defense lawyer Todd Blanche told the jury of seven men and five women that Trump’s longtime lawyer-turned-star-prosecution-witness Michael Cohen was “the GLOAT. He’s the greatest liar of all time.”
