Former President Trump’s criminal trial is set to resume on Monday with Michael Cohen on the stand for the third day of cross-examination. Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and self-described “fixer,” will reappear in Lower Manhattan at 9:30 a.m. Cohen is considered the star witness for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who aims to prove that Trump falsified business records to conceal a payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
During the trial, Cohen admitted to making a $130,000 payment to Daniels and being reimbursed by Trump. He also testified about non-disclosure agreements and his history of lying under oath. The defense, led by Todd Blanche, challenged Cohen’s credibility by highlighting inconsistencies in his statements.
The proceedings have attracted significant attention, with Trump’s allies showing support in court. Cohen’s testimony has been a focal point, including his desire for a top role in the Trump administration. The trial is ongoing, with further witnesses expected, but it remains uncertain if Trump will testify. Stay updated as the trial unfolds!
