Questions raised about Trump attorney Blanche taking a 'backseat' as trial progessed

Following the second week of Donald Trump's hush money trial in a Manhattan courtroom, MSNBC host Katie Phang noted that Donald Trump's primary lawyer, Todd Blanche, in the hush money trial seems to have withdrawn from scrutiny as the trial has progressed from jury selection to cross-examining the prosecution's witnesses.

Phang, a former prosecutor herself, pressed the Guardian's Hugo Lowell, who has been present in the courtroom to explain what is going on with the former president's defense strategy.
