Trump Attorney Questions Witness About Michael Cohen's Tiktok Activity

Attorney Todd Blanche leaves after representing former U.S. President Donald Trump

During the ongoing trial, Trump attorney Todd Blanche initiated his cross-examination by inquiring about the witness Georgia Longstreet's social media activity. Blanche specifically asked Longstreet if she had recently reviewed Michael Cohen's TikTok account, referencing a post from several days ago.

The prosecution promptly objected to this line of questioning, citing relevance concerns. However, Judge Juan Merchan overruled the objection, allowing Blanche to proceed with his inquiry.

In response to the question, Longstreet confirmed that she had not reviewed Michael Cohen's TikTok account recently. This exchange shed light on the tactics employed by the defense to gather information and potentially challenge the credibility of the witness.
