The Trump trial is currently on a brief lunch break in New York City. The former president and his legal team are expected to reenter the courtroom shortly, with Michael Cohen set to return to the stand for further testimony. The cross-examination during the trial has been focused on establishing Michael Cohen as an angry liar motivated by money and seeking vengeance against Donald Trump for not being included in the former president's inner circle.
One significant point of contention raised during the cross-examination is the testimony of Robert Costello, a lawyer who previously advised Michael Cohen. Costello's account contradicts Cohen's current testimony regarding Trump's involvement in the Stormy Daniels non-disclosure agreement. Costello claims that Cohen had stated Trump was not involved, while Cohen now asserts that Trump was aware of and approved the agreement.
