Michael Cohen, the former Trump fixer who is now testifying against his ex-boss, might have expected an incisive cross-examination from Todd Blanche, Trump's experienced lawyer. Instead, the Tuesday afternoon grilling turned out to be sleepy and dull, according to CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen.
"[Blanche] committed the cardinal sin of cross-examination," said Eisen, who was in the courtroom at the time. "It was so tangled up at times that it was boring. It actually was some of the first boring moments in all of the 19 or so days of this trial that we've had."
