During the ongoing trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass emphasized that the focus should be on former President Donald Trump and not his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen. Steinglass made it clear to the jury that the case revolves around Trump's alleged falsification of business records to conceal election interference.
Steinglass dismissed attempts by the defense to shift attention to Cohen, stating that the case is fundamentally about Trump's accountability for manipulating his business records. He highlighted that Cohen's role in the case is to provide context and interpretation of the documents and phone records presented as evidence.
