Donald Trump, the first former US president to go on trial, was joined at the courthouse by an entourage of legislators including the House Speaker.
Michael Cohen has told Donald Trump’s hush money trial that it was not until after a decade in the fold, after his family pleaded with him, after the FBI raided his office, apartment and hotel room, that he finally decided to turn on the former US president.
There has been no witness box bombast or fireworks so far from Mr Cohen, a man who was defined for years by his braggadocio as Trump’s problem-zapper. “I do have a lot of surrogates, and they’re speaking very beautifully,” Trump said before court as the group gathered in the background. Amid rapid-fire objections from prosecutors, Mr Blanche probed Mr Cohen’s hyperfocus on Trump, quizzing him about various social media posts and comments he has made.
Jurors have already heard how Trump and others in his orbit were reeling after the leak just a few weeks before the 2016 election of an Access Hollywood tape in which he bragged about grabbing women by the genitals without their permission.Mr Cohen said that Trump was constantly apprised of the behind-the-scenes efforts to bury stories feared to be harmful to the campaign.
It was an attempt to show what prosecutors say was a lengthy deception to mask the true purpose of the payments. Former US president Donald Trump sits in the courtroom with lawyers Todd Blanche, left, and Emil Bove at Manhattan Criminal Court before his trial in New York
