WATCH: Alan Dershowitz Reveals Sneaky Maneuver Trump Team Could Use Against Alvin Bragg

As former President Donald Trump’s business records trial unfolds in New York, noted attorney Alan Dershowitz has suggested a fascinating legal chess move. Speaking on his podcast Wednesday, Dershowitz revealed a potential legal maneuver that Trump’s team could employ against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg as the cross-examination of ex-lawyer Michael Cohen resumes Thursday.

Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records and has pleaded not guilty. Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s final witness, is pivotal to their case, and his credibility is currently under intense scrutiny. Dershowitz highlighted the crucial phase that will follow Cohen’s testimony: the defense’s opportunity to call its own witnesses.

Dershowitz discussed the potential use of a “missing witness instruction” which could be a game-changer in the trial. He explained the strategic significance of the prosecution’s decision not to call former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to the stand. “The reason the government does not want to call him seems obvious, that if he testified, he would testify against Cohen, he would not corroborate, he would undercut Cohen and that’s not a good reason,” Dershowitz said.

Weisselberg is a key figure in the Trump Organization, having served as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO). He has been closely associated with Donald Trump and the Trump family for decades, handling financial operations within the organization. Weisselberg’s involvement with the Trump Organization made him a significant figure in various investigations related to Trump’s business practices, particularly those concerning financial discrepancies and potential legal violations.

Dershowitz also highlighted a routine judicial process following the prosecution’s presentation: “Our case is in. At that point, a number of things happen. Number one, the defendant will make a motion to acquit, a motion to dismiss a motion that essentially says look we’ve heard the prosecution’s case and there’s not enough to go to the jury. The state has not established all the elements of the crime. And that motion is routinely denied by most judges.”

“When you think about all the days of testimony that have gone by and we still don’t know essentially what the crime is,” Dershowitz continued. “We know that it has something to do with him or somebody on his behalf noting the $130,000 payments as legal expenses rather than as money paid for a non-disclosure agreement of hush money. Nobody in history has ever disclosed the payment of hush money, so this would be the first time in the history of the world anybody was ever prosecuted for failure to disclose the payment of hush money.”

On Thursday Cohen clarified his past aspirations regarding a position within the White House. While testifying, he admitted that being considered for the role of chief of staff would have boosted his ego, but ultimately, he stated that he did not desire a White House role.

Despite previously testifying to Congress that he didn’t want to work in the White House, Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche highlighted inconsistencies by pointing out past conversations suggesting Cohen had discussed the possibility of becoming chief of staff with his daughter and others. Cohen maintained that he had hoped for a hybrid role that would allow him close access to Trump without formally being a White House employee.
