- In closings Tuesday, Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche tried the classic "but if he did do it" defense.
- If Trump did falsify documents, he didn't do it with the required criminal intent, Blanche argued.
- He then showed jurors three prosecution exhibits where Trump admitted to the hush-money reimbursement.
It's the classic defense closing argument: My client didn't do it, ladies and gentlemen — but if he did do it, it wasn't intentional.
