0:59Now PlayingDonald Trump’s lawyer in his hush money criminal trial argued to a New York jury that the former president is a victim of extortion, saying the case is rooted in an effort to squeeze him for money before the 2016 election.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels got the $130,000 payment to keep quiet about an alleged sexual encounter after her publicist and lawyer threatened to go public on the eve of the election, even though she’d previously denied the affair, Trump attorney Todd Blanche said during closing arguments Tuesday.
“This started out as an extortion, there’s no doubt about that, and it ended very well for Ms. Daniels,” Blanche told the Manhattan jury as the former president and several family members watched.
The first criminal trial of a former US president is coming to an end after nearly five weeks of testimony and evidence in a case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump’s accused of falsifying dozens of business records to conceal the payment to Daniels, part of a broader alleged scheme to influence the election with help from the publisher of the National Enquirer tabloid.
