Former President Donald Trump's former attorney secretly recorded the president ahead of the 2016 election, according to Cohen's witness testimony Monday. Cohen testified during Trump's 16th day in court that he secretly recorded Trump on his iPhone on Sept. 6, 2016 - just weeks before the general election - regarding payment to former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker.
The case revolves around the alleged falsification of business records. Prosecutors say Cohen paid adult film actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 to quiet her claims of the alleged extramarital sexual encounter with Trump. Prosecutors allege the Trump Organization reimbursed Cohen and fraudulently logged the payments as legal expenses, and are working to prove that Trump falsified records with the intent to commit or conceal a second crime. Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case.
