Closing Arguments Underway At Trump Trial

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s defense team attacked the hush money case against him by calling the star witness a liar in closing arguments.  Trump’s attorneys sought to discredit weeks of testimony that prosecutors say prove the former president interfered in the 2016 election through a scheme to suppress stories seen as harmful to his campaign. The prosecution was to speak to the jury in the afternoon. The arguments gave both sides one last chance to address the Manhattan jury and to score final points with the panel before it starts deliberating the fate of the first former American president charged with felony crimes.
