Michael Cohen Poised as Key Witness; Damning Testimony Expected
Former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York City is poised for a dramatic turn with the anticipated testimony of Michael Cohen, once Trump’s trusted attorney, now a pivotal witness for the prosecution. Despite Cohen’s disbarment following a litany of legal transgressions, including campaign finance violations and perjury, prosecutors are banking on his testimony to unveil damning truths.
Cohen alleges that Trump greenlit a $130,000 payment to silence adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election, orchestrating a reimbursement scheme to obfuscate the transaction’s origins. While his credibility may be marred by past misdeeds, prosecutors are steadfast in their belief that Cohen’s revelations will resonate with the jury.
