#Blanche argues #StormyDaniels was called to testify in order to inflame the jurors’ emotions & to embarrass #Trump. Prosecutors object, but Justice #Merchan allows it.
Blanche seizes on testimony from #MichaelCohen, who told Daniels's lawyer in a recorded call in Oct 2017 —before Trump turned against him— that he cared about his boss & he wasn’t going to play “penny wise, pound foolish” & betray him. Cohen then says “I’m sitting there & I’m saying to myself, ‘What about me?’”
