Alvin Bragg Made 'Beyond Foolish' Move in Donald Trump Trial—Legal Analyst

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's decision to put Michael Cohen on the witness stand in Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial is 'beyond foolish,' says Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett.The prosecution's key witness, Michael Cohen, a former Trump attorney and fixer who is now a vocal critic of the former president, is testifying today for the third day—his second of cross-examination.

Jarrett added, 'When prosecutors call a witness like Cohen they are vouching for his credibility.'Jarrett said today's testimony 'will be absolutely pivotal if Michael Cohen is utterly destroyed on cross-examination. We will wait and see.'In the days leading up to Cohen's anticipated testimony, many legal analysts across the political spectrum had cast doubts on the prosecution's case given Cohen's lack of credibility.
