Trump’s Attorney Discredits Cohen in Hush-Money Trial

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen testified in a Manhattan court, claiming that Donald Trump was aware of hush-money payments made to adult-film star Stormy Daniels. In response, Trump’s current attorney, Todd Blanche, sought to attack Cohen’s credibility by portraying him as someone with a personal vendetta against the former president. Despite Cohen’s admission of lying to protect Trump in the past, Blanche focused on Cohen’s social media posts and media appearances where he criticized Trump. Prosecutors are charging Trump with business fraud for allegedly reimbursing Cohen for the payment through disguised legal expenses. Cohen’s pivotal testimony recounted how he made the payment to prevent damaging information from affecting Trump’s presidential chances. Cohen admits feeling reassured when Trump expressed support during the federal investigation but decided to stop lying for Trump after talking to his family. During the trial, Mr. Trump showed no reaction while his associates and Republican allies were present, expressing solidarity with him. With Mr. Cohen likely being the last witness for the prosecution, the focus is now on whether Trump will testify. The trial showcases a historic moment as the first criminal trial of a former US president, attracting attention across media platforms. Future developments in the case remain uncertain, prompting widespread interest and political implications.
