Donald Trump 's former attorney Michael Cohen said nothing to implicate the former president in an illegal act during testimony Monday in the Manhattan criminal trial, respected law professor Jonathan Turley said.
Trump has been accused of falsifying bank records to hide a hush-money payment to adult film actor Stormy Daniels. "The problem is that Cohen only confirmed that Trump knew he was going to pay for the nondisclosure agreement and that it would be buried before the election. None of that is unlawful." Turley said that "absent a sudden epiphany" in Cohen's final testimony on Tuesday, Judge Juan Merchan should rule in favor of a directed verdict and throw out the case before it goes to a jury.
