Judge Juan Merchan could rule Tuesday morning on Trump defense attorneys’ motion to dismiss the case against the former president altogether after the prosecution rested its case following days of testimony from its star witness, Michael Cohen.
Merchan asked Blanche if he should "find Mr. Cohen not credible by a matter of law," to which Blanche said "yes."
"So, you want me to take it out of the jury’s hands?" Merchan asked, with Blanche responding that Cohen’s entire testimony should not be considered by the jury.
Merchan told Blanche that if Cohen’s "lies" were "irrefutable," then he would be able to convince the jury of that.
The prosecution then argued that under the New York state falsifying business records statute, anyone "causing" the falsified records can be punished.
"As a matter of law, it is sufficient, more than sufficient, that the defendant set in motion the sequence of events leading to the falsification of business records," prosecutor Matthew Colangelo argued.
Merchan said he would reserve a ruling on whether to dismiss the case before the jury can deliberate.

James Comey PANIC!
He says if Trump is elected, he’ll follow through on his promise to hold the traitorous criminals accountable.
That’s right, Jim. Treason doesn’t pay well in the end.

Russia starts exercise to simulate launch of tactical nuclear weapons

The U.S. Department of Defense now believes that a Russian “Satellite Launch” on May 16th, which caused a NOTAM to be issued off the Coast of California, was likely a Cover for the Deployment of a Counter-Space Weapon, which is now in Low-Orbit around the Earth and Tracking near several U.S. Military Satellites.
This follows additional launches by the Russian Armed Forces in 2019 and 2022, which were also believed to have Deployed similar Weapons that could be utilized against U.S. or NATO Intelligence Satellites if a War was to Breakout.

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas confirmed that some countries have already sent instructors to Ukraine to train military personnel. She says NATO allies should not fear that sending troops to Ukraine will automatically draw NATO into a war with Russia. If Russian forces attacked NATO member instructors it would not automatically trigger Article 5 on mutual defense. She noted that countries that send instructors to Ukraine are doing so at their own risk.
