The courtroom drama continued yesterday as Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former fixer, took the stand to describe a hush-money deal that implicated the former president. Cohen revealed that he received monthly checks, many signed by Trump himself, that were supposedly part of a legal retainer agreement but were actually reimbursements for hush money paid to Stormy Daniels. This testimony provided the first personal account linking Trump to the scandal.
Trump’s legal team aggressively questioned Cohen, attempting to paint him as an opportunist seeking revenge against the former president. Despite the defense’s efforts, Cohen’s testimony stood firm, leaving Trump’s lawyers to consider calling an expert witness and potentially even Trump himself to the stand.
In a blow to Trump, an appeals court upheld a gag order imposed by the judge in the case. The ongoing legal battle between Cohen and Trump continues to captivate audiences as more details emerge.
Stay tuned for further updates on this high-profile case as it unfolds.
