The former US president denies falsifying business records.
Donald Trump’s hush money trial is heading into the final stretch, with prosecutors’ star witness set to return to court for another grilling.
The charges stem from internal Trump Organisation records where payments to Cohen were marked as legal expenses, when prosecutors say they were really reimbursements for a 130,000-dollar hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels. Defence lawyers said they have not decided whether Trump will testify. Generally, they are reluctant to open their clients up to intense questioning by prosecutors, as it often does more harm than good.Mr Cohen is prosecutors’ most important witness, but he is also vulnerable to attack.
He also told jurors about meetings and conversations with Trump, including one in 2017 in which Mr Cohen says he, Trump and then-Trump Organisation finance chief Allen Weisselberg discussed how Mr Cohen would recoup his outlay for the Daniels payment and how the reimbursement would be billed as “legal services”.
