Closing arguments in Trump’s NY criminal trial have ended

Closing arguments in Donald Trump ‘s historic criminal trial are over. It was a long day in the Manhattan courtroom. Defense lawyer Todd Blanche spoke for about three hours in the morning, while prosecutor Joshua Steinglass went for over five hours. Trump’s lawyer poked at the credibility of star witness Michael Cohen, describing him as the “MVP of liars.” The prosecution told the jury that the case “at its core, is about a conspiracy and a cover-up.” After final instructions from the judge, jurors are expected to begin deliberating on Wednesday.
