Trump's Lawyer Utterly Tanks During Additional Questioning Of Michael Cohen At Trial

36. But why would tfg tell Blanche to focus on things that

Cohen said about Blanche?

I can only think of one reason, but it's far-fetched. Trump might claim that the "unfair" gag order prevented his attorneys from focusing on Trump. He might say, "The trial was rigged. My lawyer couldn't talk about what Cohen said about me or focus on how untrustworthy Cohen is because of the gag order." Then he might try to appeal by claiming that the judge handicapped his lawyers from giving a full defense, so the the conviction should be overturned (if he's convicted).

But Merchan is telling Blanche to focus on Trump, not himself, so that gag interference claim about in his defense wouldn't hold up.
