Listed here are 4 highlights from their closing arguments:

1. The 1 minute and 36 second telephone name 

Prosecutor Josh Steinglass took out his personal telephone, set the timer and reenacted a name that was on the middle of Cohen’s cross and direct examination two weeks in the past. Cohen testified that in a telephone name, he had each spoken with Trump’s bodyguard a couple of harassing teen and individually with Trump concerning the fee to Daniels. Trump’s legal professionals aimed to discredit Cohen’s reminiscence of that dialog — arguing that it will be laborious to broach each topics in that quick time.

Beginning with, “Hey, Keith, how’s it going?” Steinglass went by way of a simulated telephone name the place he mentioned the problem of a teenage prankster who had been harassing Cohen, after which stated, “Can I discuss to the boss?” Then Steinglass simulated a short dialog about caring for “that factor,” and somewhat small discuss.

2. Trump’s enterprise practices

Steinglass as soon as once more went by way of the precise checks and invoices in query and the way Deborah Tarasoff, the accounts payable supervisor on the Trump Group, packaged them collectively to ship to Trump even after he went to the White Home.

Prosecutors pushed that even the chief monetary officer, Weisselberg, may solely approve invoices as much as $10,000.

“Regardless of his frugality, and a spotlight to element, the defendant did not ask any questions, trigger he already knew the solutions,” Steinglass argued, asking the jury to not consider the “bogus narrative that the defendant was too busy” whereas on the White Home to note the big sums of cash was being spent.

There have been two paperwork that confirmed handwritten notes from Trump’s chief monetary officer and his comptroller that clearly lay out the reimbursement scheme: 130 instances two, to cowl taxes, plus one other expense, plus a bonus, for a complete of $420,000. Steinglass stated, “They’re the smoking weapons.”

“They fully blow out of the water the protection declare that these had been for authorized work,” he stated, including, “I’m nearly speechless that they’re nonetheless making an attempt to make this argument that this was for authorized retainer.”

He doubled down that Trump’s concern was not his household, however the election, and the take care of the tabloid exhibits that was the motivation for a settlement 10 years after the alleged encounter.

“That is shopping for a narrative that you don’t intend to print, in order that nobody else can print it,” Steinglass stated, referencing Blanche’s argument that tabloids typically buy tales after which select to not run them.

Tying this to the Daniels’ fee, Steinglass reminded jurors of the timing — how the deal to have Daniels signal a nondisclosure settlement got here after the Entry Hollywood tape turned public.

“Stormy Daniels was a strolling and speaking reminder that the defendant was not solely phrases,” Steinglass stated.
