Impossible to predict any jury trial.

But Trump’s defence strategy not hopeless.

By not putting forward a positive account of what happened, he has made it as much a trial of Cohen as of himself. And Cohen is a self-confessed liar and grudge holder.

The prosecution have worked hard - very hard - to corroborate Cohen’s evidence. Will it be enough? If the jury don’t believe Cohen then Trump may get his acquittal, despite the other supporting evidence.
