The Spin
Pro-Trump narrative
Blanche has exposed Cohen’s disdain for Trump and showed the jury that he's not a trustworthy witness. Cohen is a serial liar and his testimony was a disaster for Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s politically-motivated sham prosecution.
Anti-Trump narrative
Cohen was the perfect witness to expose Trump’s criminal tendencies. Blanche tried to tie a hodgepodge of unrelated attacks together to frame Cohen as a questionable witness, but instead he exposed the efforts Trump will go to in order to save himself.
Metaculus Prediction
There's a 70% chance that Trump will be found guilty of at least one felony in his New York "hush money" criminal trial, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
