Michael Cohen wrapped up a second day of witness testimony as the prosecution's key witness against former President Donald Trump. Once a loyal "protector" of Trump as his former "fixer," the now-staunch critic testified about receiving payments prosecutors argue are false business records.
After several weeks of testimony, jurors yesterday heard Cohen confirm two key details on the stand: Trump knew about the settlement negotiation with former adult actor Stormy Daniels to keep her allegations of an affair out of the press ahead of the 2016 election and that Trump directed Cohen to make a settlement payment of $130,000 to her.
