After they heard closing arguments on Tuesday, May 25, in the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump, jurors have to decide whether Trump falsified business records to cover up an alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
Adam Shlahet, director of the Brendan Moore Trial Advocacy Center, spoke with NPR podcast “Consider This” host Juana Summers about the closing arguments in the hush money trial against Trump. Topics of discussion include the prosecution and defense’s tactics in their closing arguments, the impact closing arguments could have on the jury’s final decision, and how long it might take the jury to reach a verdict.
