Michael Cohen Testifies in Trump’s Hush-Money Trial

By Boniface Ihiasota, USA

Former lawyer to Donald Trump, Michael Cohen, has made a dramatic appearance at a New York court today to testify in the hush-money trial involving the former president.

Cohen’s testimony sheds light on the $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels in an effort to keep her quiet about her alleged affair with Trump in 2006.

In a stunning turn of events, Cohen, once a close ally of Trump, now finds himself on the opposite side, providing damning evidence against the former president.

Excel Magazine International reports that the trial revolves around accusations that Trump attempted to conceal the reimbursements made to Cohen for the hush-money payments through fraudulent means.

The rift between Cohen and Trump has deepened over time, with both parties engaging in public spats and trading barbs on social media.

Despite Trump’s plea of not guilty to 34 counts of fraud and his denial of any sexual encounter with Daniels, the prosecution presses forward with the case, aiming to wrap up their arguments by the end of the week.

With two more witnesses yet to testify, the trial continues to captivate the nation as it delves into the intricate web of financial dealings and alleged misconduct surrounding one of the most controversial figures in recent political history.
