Michael Cohen returned to the witness stand for further cross-examination in Donald Trump's hush money trial. Last week, Trump's lawyers focused on Cohen's conflicting accounts of a crucial phone call from 2016. Cohen had previously testified that he discussed the Stormy Daniels matter with Trump. However, text messages revealed by Trump's attorney just before the call showed Cohen was concerned about a prank caller. During the cross-examination, Cohen confirmed his earlier testimony, but Trump's lawyer accused him of lying.
Defense lawyers aimed to complete their tough cross-examination of Cohen on Monday morning. Prosecutors planned to question Cohen again to reinforce his version of events and counter any doubts raised by Trump's team. The prosecution needs to emphasize corroborated details in Cohen's testimony to strengthen their case.
