Trump Team Pivots: Trump is a Victim!

Former President Trump’s trial is getting messy, as the defense has decided that they can make ground by exposing the details of how these kinds of things happen, and exposing those who try to make money off of people who claim to know things.

In the most contentious testimony yet in the criminal trial, Los Angeles lawyer Keith Davidson denied accusations that he flirted with extortion when he negotiated settlements with celebrities to keep potentially damaging stories out of the public eye.

By accusing him, Trump’s lawyers displayed a key element of their defense strategy: getting jurors to focus on the lawyers and middlemen….

Trump’s lawyers… tried to use Davidson to show that he was well versed in squeezing money out of celebrities, and that Daniels thought her chances of getting paid for her story would vanish after the 2016 presidential election, which she expected Trump to lose.

Source: Althouse: “Trump defense suggests he was shakedown target, not hush money schemer/During contentious questioning of Stormy Daniels lawyer Keith Davidson, Donald Trump’s lawyers portray their client as the victim in the case.”

I would say that this should be an effective line of attack. It would also fit what happened in the civil trial with the writer, and the large dollar figure that came out of the civil trial over the financial statements.
