The Manhattan district attorney's office recently raised objections to two statements regarding Michael Cohen's alleged lies during a court proceeding. Judge Juan Merchan upheld the objections, prompting a request for the attorneys to approach the bench for further discussion.
During the hearing, a party named Blanche accused Cohen of committing perjury at a civil fraud trial involving former President Donald Trump that took place last autumn. The objection raised by the district attorney's office was sustained by Judge Merchan, leading to a pause in the proceedings as Blanche's accusations were addressed.
