Reported 4 months ago
Former President Trump is claiming that he is being prevented from using an advice-of-counsel defense in his hush money trial in New York, despite his own lawyers stating months ago that they would not invoke this defense. The trial involves a payment made by Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen to Stormy Daniels, with prosecutors alleging it was meant to influence the election. Trump denies involvement and the affair, but the jury is set to deliberate soon. The judge had previously ruled against allowing the defense to avoid confusion and misleading the jury.
