During Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial, the court is currently on a lunch break, with the prosecution preparing to continue rehabilitating its star witness, Michael Cohen, after facing intense scrutiny of his credibility during cross-examination. Retired New York criminal court judge George Grasso, who was present in court, shared insights on the proceedings.
Trump's attorney, Todd Blanch, elicited an admission from Cohen under oath that he had taken money from the Trump Organization. However, Judge Grasso opined that this revelation did not significantly damage Cohen's credibility. Cohen explained the circumstances, portraying Trump in a negative light for his manipulative business practices.
