Attorney Stacy Schneider reevaluates the prosecution's case against Donald Trump
- The prosecution in Trump's hush money trial made a significant error by resting their case after calling Michael Cohen as their final witness.
- There was a lack of a key witness to corroborate Cohen's claims, impacting the strength of the case against Donald Trump.
- Attorney Stacy Schneider shares insights on reevaluating the case against Trump.
CNN has opinions to read. Michael Cohen, a convicted felon and disbarred lawyer, testified. The prosecution missed having another key witness to show that Trump wanted to fake his business records to hide a crime. Trump faces 34 charges of falsifying business records. Cohen said Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and he met at Trump Tower to discuss reimbursing Daniels. Weisselberg could confirm Cohen's claims about Trump agreeing to pay him back through the Trump Organization. The DA thinks Weisselberg may not tell the truth, so they might not call him to testify. Without Weisselberg's testimony, the case relies only on Cohen's words. If a juror doubts Trump's involvement in how Cohen's payment was recorded, there might be a hung jury, and Trump could go free.
