“‘NDAs are legal and common, yet Bragg alleges Trump’s was illegal.’ I have the only illegal NDA,” Trump quipped Thursday afternoon in his post-trial day remarks to reporters in New York. During cross-examination of prosecution witnesses, he and Trump’s other lawyers have worked to refute testimony that Trump knew about the scheme as it was happening. “Can easily be argued by Trump’s lawyers as fair comment on the evidence presented,” Cobb said. His testimony should wrap up Monday, meaning that the case could go to the jury next week unless Trump’s lawyers change their minds and decide to call multiple witnesses. Trump could also receive time behind bars if convicted of the separate federal charges or Georgia state charges he faces.
