The hush money trial reached a crucial moment when Michael Cohen took the witness stand on Monday. Cohen tied Donald Trump directly to the hush money scheme, recalling conversations with his then-boss about stopping negative stories during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Donald Trump's hush money trial reached a pivotal moment Monday when Trump's onetime loyal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, took the witness stand to testify against his former boss.Cohen is providing jurors with an insider's account of hush money payments at the center of the trial — payments he says were directed by Trump to fend off damage to his 2016 White House bid, the Associated Press reported.
After Michael Cohen agreed to front the money to keep the story from coming out, he still had one more bit of deception: making sure his wife, whom he called the "CEO of the household," didn’t find out.To do so, he took out a home equity line of credit, in part because the bank would send him updates electronically, rather than to his home, keeping his wife out of the loop."I clearly could not tell her and that would’ve been a problem for me" if she found out, he said.
Nevertheless, Cohen said Trump took him up on his offer to get the story taken down."Absolutely. Do it. Take care of it," Cohen recalled Trump saying.Cohen later worked with lawyer Keith Davidson, who later represented Daniels in the 2016 hush money deal, to get the story taken down.Michael Cohen testified that he thought the "Access Hollywood" tape would be damaging to the Trump campaign, especially among women.
