Prosecutors rested their hush money case against Donald Trump on Monday, turning it over to the former president’s lawyers for a chance to call witnesses.
Cohen said he gave the firm only $20,000 in cash in a brown paper bag, but he sought reimbursement from Trump for the full amount, pocketing the difference."Yes, sir," Cohen replied. Cohen said he never paid the Trump Organization back. Cohen has never been charged with stealing from Trump's company.
Prosecutors got another shot to question their star witness after the defence wrapped up their cross-examination. Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger took a dig at the defence strategy to go after Cohen, asking him: “I know you might feel like you’re on trial here after cross-examination, but are you actually on trial here?”Whether the defence succeeds at undermining Cohen’s credibility could determine Trump’s fate in the case.
The charges stem from internal T rump Organization records where payments to Cohen were marked as legal expenses, when prosecutors say they were really reimbursements for Daniels' hush money payment. Known for his hot temper, Cohen has remained mostly calm on the witness stand despite sometimes heated interrogation by the defence about his misdeeds and the allegations in the case.
