What each side said in Trump trial closing arguments

After weeks of testimony, lawyers made their final pitches to the jury during closing arguments in Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial.

For almost three hours on Tuesday, the defence team argued the jury could not convict Mr Trump of any crime based on his former fixer Michael Cohen’s word alone. After that, the prosecution spent nearly six hours laying out the evidence they said proved Mr Trump was guilty.

The BBC's Nada Tawfik highlights the key points each side made.
