The fate of former US president Donald Trump now rests in the hands of twelve jurors, who will deliberate after hearing the final arguments from both the defense and prosecution. This high-profile hush money trial against Trump has been filled with drama, including testimony from a former porn actress and intense legal battles.
In his closing argument on Tuesday, Todd Blanche, Trump’s lawyer, urged the jurors to make a quick and easy decision to acquit the former president. Blanche emphasized Trump’s innocence and pointed out the lack of evidence presented over the past five weeks, calling for an acquittal. The prosecution’s closing argument was scheduled to follow, marking the end of the first criminal trial against a former US president.
The decision to acquit or convict Trump will have significant consequences, ranging from prison time to fines or probation. The trial’s outcome could significantly impact Trump’s political standing and future ambitions. Regardless of the verdict, the trial has raised questions about the American justice system and the intersection of law and politics.
