YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump’s lawyer at his hush money trial grilled Michael Cohen for hours on the witness stand Thursday about possible inconsistencies in his testimony and his well-documented history of lying under oath.
Defense attorney Todd Blanche took a far more aggressive tone with Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, than earlier in the week, questioning whether he really got approval from Trump for the hush money payment at the center of the case and drawing out embarrassing details on how he reacted to prank phone calls and at other times how he leaked stories to the media.
Trump is accused of falsifying business records to conceal the true nature of a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election, to keep her quiet about an alleged affair. Earlier testimony by Cohen, the Manhattan District Attorney’s star witness, bolstered the case with first-hand accounts of his conversations about the payments with Trump, who denies wrongdoing.
