CNN’s Elie Honig Warns Outcome of Trump Trial Could Depend on ‘Crucial’ Closing Arguments

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig is warning that the outcome of former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York City could hinge on next week’s “crucial” closing arguments.

In an appearance on CNN Wednesday, Honig said that closing could take on a heightened importance because of the week-long break in between the parties resting their cases and closing next Tuesday.

“Typically what happens is the the evidence closes as it did yesterday. And then you go right essentially into closing argument,” Honig told Wolf Blitzer. “Here we have a week between the end of evidence and the closing arguments.”
