The trial in Manhattan resumed with the defence challenging Cohen’s testimony, which could impact Trump’s fate in the case, as prosecutors aim to prove that Trump orchestrated payments to silence damaging stories during his presidential campaign and then covered it up.
Cohen, the final witness for now, testified that Trump was directly involved in efforts to silence women who alleged sexual encounters with him. Trump denies the claims. The trial, now in its 18th day, marks the first criminal trial of a former US president.
On Thursday, another embarrassing incident from Cohen’s past was brought up, where he used AI-generated legal cases in a court document. Cohen acknowledged the error, emphasizing a careful examination of his responses during cross-examination.
