Prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money trial have sought to highlight the impact of the "Access Hollywood" recording on the 2016 campaign, in which the former president could be heard boasting of sexual assault, arguing that it was in the wake of that revelation that crimes were committed to prevent others from speaking out.
But testifying Monday, Michael Cohen, the one-time fixer for the former president, said that the argument that the recording merely reflected "locker room talk" came not from within the campaign but was suggested by Trump's wife, Melania.
