Donald Trump's lawyer shouts Michael Cohen's testimony ‘was a lie!’

Hindustan Times  

On Thursday, Counsel for Donald Trump strenuously objected to the prosecution and accused the lynchpin witness, Michael Cohen, of being untruthful repeatedly. Trump’s former attorney and “fixer”, Cohen, found himself under intense scrutiny as he recounted a direct conversation with the former president about the payment to pornstar Stormy Daniels. Blanche was quick to counter, raising his voice and slamming Cohen’s account as “a lie.” He pointed to records indicating that Cohen had actually been in contact with Trump’s bodyguard regarding a prank call, not the payment. Despite his guilty plea to federal campaign finance violations related to the hush-money payment in 2018, Cohen insists that he acted under Trump’s direction. On Thursday morning, Blanche played excerpts from Cohen’s podcast, “Mea Culpa,” where Cohen expressed his eagerness to see Mr. Trump face justice, stating, “I want this man to go down.” Blanche also highlighted a social media post where Cohen derogatorily referred to Trump as “Dumbass Donald.” When Blanche asked him, “Does the outcome of this trial affect you personally?” Cohen simply responded, “Yes.”
