Michael Cohen a former attorney for Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump, departs to testify at Trump?s criminal trial, over charges that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, at Manhattan state court in New York City, U.S., May 14, 2024.
Trump, 77, who is running against Democratic President Joe Biden in November, has pleaded not guilty and denies any sexual encounter with Daniels. He has characterized the case as a partisan attempt to interfere with his campaign to take back the White House. “He said to me, ‘This is a disaster, a total disaster. Women are going to hate me,’ Cohen told jurors Trump had said. “‘Guys, they think it’s cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign.'”
Defense lawyers have already signaled their intention to attack his credibility, calling him a liar in their opening statement and warning jurors not to trust his word.Cohen said that he, Trump and tabloid publisher David Pecker had secretly agreed in 2015 to use the National Enquirer to help Trump’s campaign.
