so what mr. blanch is doing here, mr. trump's lawyer, is essentially what you would expect from any good defense lawyer. telling the jury don't believe what you just heard from the government by telling them that no crime was committed, trying to humanize mr. trump in some ways, and then perhaps leaving dangling a bit the prospect that they will have evidence down the road in the trial to demonstrate the things that mr. blanche is saying. again, they don't have to prove anything. so they do have a slight advantage in their opening statement of saying things that they don't later have to back up. the government must back up everything it has said. >> here's what else todd blanche is saying to the jury. president trump did not pay mr. cohen back $130,000. president trump paid michael cohen $420,000. would a frugal businessman, would a man who pinches pennies repay a $130,000 debt to the tune of 420,000, this was no at payback. he paid more than he needed to so it can't be for a hush money deal of some sort. >> i think that'
