Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall attended the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump in a Manhattan courtroom. Marshall, a seasoned prosecutor with 30 years of experience, expressed his belief that the trial is a 'sham of a prosecution' as perceived by the former president.
During the trial, Trump's ex-lawyer and self-proclaimed 'fixer,' Michael Cohen, testified extensively on Monday and faced cross-examination on Tuesday. Marshall confidently predicted a challenging day for Cohen, the prosecution's key witness, during the defense team's questioning.
Marshall emphasized that Cohen, who built his career on his association with Trump, appeared to be leveraging his testimony to secure a conviction against the former president. Marshall suggested that this strategy might not resonate well with the jury.
Expressing his perspective on the case, Marshall advocated for a judgment of acquittal as the optimal resolution. He asserted that as the defense team scrutinizes Cohen's testimony, they would likely discredit him entirely, potentially leading to a motion for acquittal.
Marshall's presence in the courtroom underscored the significant interest and support Trump continues to receive from his allies, even in the face of a high-profile trial. The unfolding events in this unprecedented trial have captured national attention, with each development closely monitored by observers on both sides of the political spectrum.
