Eric Anderson recently spoke to Business Insider, analyzing the mistakes the defense made in former President Donald Trump’s legal trial, which culminated in his conviction on all 34 counts of falsifying business records yesterday. He explained that although the outcome was uncertain, he believed the odds favored the prosecution going into deliberations, being that the defense had a weaker story.
For instance, he explained that the defense denying Trump ever had an affair with Stormy Daniels and failing to provide a counter for it – despite many Americans believing the alleged affair to be true – weakened their argument.
“Whoever has the best story wins,” he told Business Insider. “The prosecution’s story was very simply: that Donald Trump did something that on its face, could have been completely legal, but he did it in an attempt to circumvent a federal election law.”
