Former U.S. President, Donald Trump spoke with the media in the hallway outside the courtroom on May 28, ahead of closing arguments in his criminal hush money trial.”I did nothing wrong,” said Trump, “This is a very dangerous day for America. It’s a very sad day.” And he proceeded to the courtroom.Trump’s lawyer urged jurors to look past the salacious details in his criminal hush money trial and focus on the paperwork at the heart of the case as he urged them to find the former president not guilty of criminal behavior.Todd Blanche said prosecutors had failed to prove that Trump, the 2024 Republican candidate for president, illegally falsified documents to cover up a hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to advance his 2016 presidential campaign.Blanche was making his final bid to influence the 12 jurors who decide whether Trump will become the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime. Jurors could begin deliberations as soon as Wednesday.Once Blanche finishes, prosecutors will sum up the witnesses and evidence they have presented as they argue Trump, 77, illegally falsified records to cover up the payment that ensured Daniels would not go public with her story of a 2006 sexual encounter.
