During the cross-examination of Michael Cohen outside the White House or courthouse, a key moment unfolded as Trump's lawyer challenged Cohen on past misstatements and lies. The climax occurred when Trump's attorney focused on a phone call Cohen claimed to have had with Donald Trump in October 2016, around the time of the Stormy Daniels payment decision.
The attorney presented text messages between Cohen and Trump's security officer, Keith Schiller, revealing discussions about harassing phone calls Cohen received. Notably, at 8:02 p.m., Schiller advised Cohen to call him, leading to the alleged call between Cohen and Trump regarding the Stormy Daniels matter.
