JAY GRAY EXISTS THE CASE AS A FORMER PRESIDENT’S FIRST CRIMINAL TRIAL ENTERS ITS FINAL PHASE. JOURNALIST. Well, the final words in this high-profile, high-stakes case begin here today. AND TO THE GREAT FRUSTRATION OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT. IT IS HIS DEFENSE TEAM WHO WILL SPEAK TO THE JURY. FIRST, THE DEFENSE’S FINAL ARGUMENTS WILL FOCUS ON MANY THINGS. They say you shouldn't add up in this case. And most importantly, they say that the testimony of former Trump attorney and confidant Michael Cohen, who they say is a convicted liar with an agenda against the former president, they will seek to discredit his testimony, which is at the key to the heart. IN THIS CASE, AS THE PROSECUTORS, BECAUSE THEY SHOULD REVIEW THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE meticulously and they say that all of this evidence clearly shows that the president not only committed fraud, but he did it to hide it from voters. . AN AFFAIR WITH STORMY DANIELS THAT TO DATE, HE SAYS, HAS NOT OCCURRED. WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN THE COURTROOM TODAY. Expect the defense to last approximately two and a half hours. They told the judge to make their closing arguments, and prosecutors say they will spend four to four and a half hours with the jury. That might push things back until tomorrow morning. IF THE JURY DECIDES TO GO HOME ON THEIR REGULAR SCHEDULE, THE JUDGE HAS GAVE THEM THE OPTION TO STAY LATE TO FINISH THE FINAL DISCUSSIONS TODAY. And that's certainly what the defense team wants. THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THEIR THEMSE QUICKLY QUICKLY, SO THAT THEY DO NOT ALLOW THE PROSECUTION TO NOT ONLY GET THE LAST WORD TODAY, BUT TO COME BACK TOMORROW WHEN THE JURORS ARE FRESH IN COURT AND BEGIN THEIR DELIBERATIONS TO TAKE ONE LAST WORD. Again, the former president, very frustrated that the defense is not last when it comes to these closing arguments. But that's New York law. That's how it's always been. And that is how this trial will unfold. AND WE KNOW THAT TIME IS NOT LIMITED FOR ANY TEAM. SO THEY CAN PARTICIPATE LONGER IF THEY CHOOSE. THIS WILL BE NEXT TOMORROW, P AND THEN THIS CASE WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE JURY. IT WILL BE IN THEIR HANDS. This is the latest, in front of the courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
