Episode 65: Trump's Defense: Boring or Harmful? Week #6 of Trump's Jury Trial

Donald Trump presented two witnesses in his defense case this week and closed his case without testifying in Week #6 of the hush money criminal jury trial involving payouts to porn star Stormy Daniels. Get the best legal insights on Trump's defense rom a former prosecutor, 2 trial attorneys, and a political scientist.

Find out why we think Trump's defense team made a mistake in calling attorney Costello to the stand but made a good decision for Donald Trump NOT to testify. We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the defense team's decision to call any witness at all and why their witnesses may have hurt their cause instead of helped it.

Find out who was right in their predictions that Donald Trump would not testify in his own defense. Learn about jury instructions and which ones will be critical to Trump's defense. Then hear our guesses as to how long the closing arguments of each side will be.

Finally, stay with us to the end for a discussion about Supreme Court Justice Alito's upside down flag and ethical issues and considerations for the Supreme Court - especially for Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.
