Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche is a former federal prosecutor, which is where he got most of his trial experience, but he hasn’t had many reps on the defence’s side of the courtroom. | |
After his time working for the government, Blanche became a partner at a prominent Wall Street law firm. | |
He worked as a white-collar defence lawyer, and he largely sorted those legal issues outside the courtroom. He's only gone to trial as a defence attorney once before. | |
That lack of trial experience is perhaps showing slightly. He’s stumbling a bit in his early remarks and often walks out of range of the microphone. | |
