Retired New York Supreme Court Judge Diane Kiesel recently provided insights on the ongoing testimony involving a call on October 24th at 8:02 p.m. during the trial. The defense's line of questioning aimed to challenge Michael Cohen's credibility by scrutinizing his recollection of details, particularly regarding Trump's communications.
Judge Kiesel noted that the defense's strategy appeared to focus on undermining Cohen's credibility to cast doubt on his testimony. She highlighted the defense's efforts to paint Cohen in a negative light before delving into critical details, suggesting a tactic to raise skepticism about his reliability as a witness.
