re: #248 Nerdy Fish

No, but it is very unlikely that Trump’s legal team will put on witnesses of their own. After all, prosecutors are calling all of Trump’s people that have knowledge of the events involved, can speak to the papers involved, and the financial transactions that were ultimately approved by Trump himself.

Defense teams are under no obligation to call any witnesses. They can attack the veracity of the prosecution witnesses (who are all Trump/former Trump people). They can state that the prosecution didn’t meet its burden, and leave it at that.

Of course, it might not be the best strategy, but it is one to be sure.
