Michael Cohen Admits To Lying In Trump Trial Testimony

Michael Cohen Former U.S. President Trump's civil fraud trial continues, in New York Michael Cohen Appears at supreme court

Michael Cohen is set to face cross-examination in the New York versus Trump trial following his admission of lying to protect the former president during his testimony. The prosecution's last witness, Cohen, is expected to be questioned by former President Trump's defense attorneys when court resumes tomorrow.

Cohen confessed to several falsehoods while on the stand, including falsifying invoices to the Trump Organization to obtain reimbursement for payments to Stormy Daniels by disguising them as a monthly retainer. He also revealed using a bank account meant for management consulting to make hush money payments to Daniels, leading to federal charges in 2018. Additionally, Cohen admitted to delaying payment to Daniels during the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur in 2016 to ensure the issue would not impact the election.
