David Pecker’s testimony delivered a win for the prosecution. The Supreme Court hearing in D.C. was another story.
All were direct torpedo hits to the defense’s opening statement Monday, in which Trump lawyer Todd Blanche argued that any and all hush money payments were to keep negative stories from reaching Trump’s family’s eyes, rather than the voting public. Prosecutors want to prove the payments corrupted the 2016 election, Trump’s lawyers want the jury to believe that they had little to do with politics and everything to do with protecting Trump’s family.
The prosecution’s successful week in Manhattan court was made all the more important by another legal proceeding about 250 miles away in Washington.
