During the recent trial, Michael Cohen testified that certain business records were falsified, indicating that he was not paid a retainer for legal services but rather reimbursed for hush money paid to a porn star to protect Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign. The core issue at hand is the alleged misuse of funds for non-legal purposes.
The trial, which will be decided by a jury, has raised concerns about the fairness of the proceedings. Some argue that the political affiliations of the judge, prosecutors, and jury selection could impact the outcome. However, others point out that similar situations involving judges appointed by Trump have not elicited complaints from his team.
