Specifically those stills of a cspan video that proves donald trump and Keith Schiller were together, which has just been introduced into the redirection from cohen. So far, todd blanche has landed multiple punches against cohen. Including cohens admission that he stole Tens Of Thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization and the question about how many more witnesses were left and who might the defense call.
