Axios reports:
Trump lawyer Todd Blanche told CNN Thursday evening after Trump became the first sitting or former U.S. president convicted of a felony that the defense team was “prepared for a conviction” and they would “vigorously fight” by filing motions before Judge Juan Merchan in a couple of weeks.
Blanche told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins the legal team would outline to Merchan what they believed made the trial unfair, including adult film actor Stormy Daniels’ testimony and their belief that the jury “looked past what we thought were fatal flaws” in former Trump fixer Michael Cohen’s testimony.
“If that is not successful, then as soon as we can appeal we will,” he said on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins.” And the process in New York is there’s a sentencing, and then we appeal from there.”
