"Trump's Legal Maneuvers in Hush Money Trial: From Immunity Claims to Lawyer Blame Game"

Donald Trump's defense team has stated that they will not use a formal "advice of counsel" defense in the upcoming hush money trial, but will argue that Trump did not intend to break the law because he was aware that various lawyers were involved in the underlying conduct. The defense plans to elicit testimony from witnesses, including former AMI executives and Michael Cohen, to support Trump's awareness of counsel's involvement in the charged conduct. This strategy may change depending on trial witnesses and evidence permitted by the judge.
