The report states that Trump's legal team completed its summary in a little over two hours. A jury will soon decide Trump's fate over 34 charges of falsifying business records. Moreover, hours of closing arguments won't change the fact that the prosecution never did show an underlying crime, retired New Jersey judge Andrew Napolitano informed Newsmax.
Napolitano said, "The government not only must prove that the 34 deceptive payments were recorded inaccurately, but that they were done to mask an underlying crime. The government hasn't, in my view, presented that beyond a reasonable doubt. It's just suggested what it might be."
