In a recent courtroom session, Michael Cohen was seen reviewing text messages on a monitor, although these messages were not officially presented as evidence. Meanwhile, President Trump was observed engaging in a whispered conversation with his attorney, Emil Bove, as Cohen examined the messages.
During this review process, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger raised concerns about the extensive redactions within the texts, suggesting that they may be taken out of context. Cohen acknowledged this possibility by stating, 'I believe so.' In response to Hoffinger's objection, a discussion ensued among the legal representatives present, leading Judge Juan Merchan to sustain the objection.
