Prosecutor Disputes Defense Claims In Trump Impeachment Trial

Former U.S. President Donald Trump attends the Trump Organization civil fraud trial, in New York

During the ongoing trial involving former President Donald Trump, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass has responded to the defense team's motion for a mistrial. Steinglass refuted several claims made by Trump's lawyers, stating that most of the allegations are 'flat out untrue.'

One of the key points addressed by Steinglass was the assertion that the account being presented was new. He clarified that the account in question was not new, contrary to what the defense team had suggested.

Steinglass dismissed the claim of an ambush as 'nonsense,' emphasizing that there was no element of surprise or unfairness in the proceedings. He also pushed back against the accusation that the witness had changed her story, describing it as 'extraordinarily untrue.'

As both sides present their arguments and counterarguments, the court will ultimately have to weigh the evidence and make a decision based on the facts presented.
