Trump attorney Blanche's future questioned with acquittal odds at 'zero to none': insiders

Whether attorney Todd Blanche remains a key member of Donald Trump's legal team after the Manhattan hush money trial wraps up in the next few days is open to speculation, according to three Trump insiders. According to ex-Trump attorney Ty Cobb, Blanche is a seasoned attorney who seemed "uncomfortable" as he went through his closing argument on Tuesday, with Cobb adding, “The chance of an acquittal is zero to none,” before adding he is not sure the former president will get the hung jury his lawyers may be hoping for, calling that "not likely.” However, he added, Trump kept lawyer Alina Habba in his circle despite her failures that cost Trump $83 million in the E. Jean Carroll trials. I saw a lot of reporting that he seemed a little nervous and not necessarily as confident, at least in their assessment… But he’s got the skill set and the experience to do this well.” Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis is not as assured about Blanche's future. The problem with the current MAGA base is that they will take whatever position Trump tells them to," she stated before adding, "If Trump decides to publicly trash or blame Todd Blanche and the other attorneys, I’d bet that MAGA immediately brands them ‘the worst lawyers ever’ …instead of recognizing that lawyers can only do as much as they can with the situation—and client—they have."
