Michael Cohen is torn to shreds by Trump's attorneys in blistering cross-examination over Stormy Daniels' 'hush money' payments

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump's defense lawyer accused star witness Michael Cohen of lying about a crucial phone that tied the former president to a cover-up around hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels in a dramatic exchange Thursday. Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen returned to the stand on Thursday. On Monday, Cohen said an Oct. 24 call to Trump, via Keith Schiller, was made in order to discuss the 'Stormy Daniels matter' and its resolution But in a bombshell moment, defense attorney Todd Blanche introduced details of text messages suggesting the call was about a 14-year-old prank caller It was a big moment for Trump's defense, after he reportedly grumbled that his legal team had not been aggressive enough in court with witnesses 'No sir I can't, because I am not certain that is accurate,' he said. Seen here, posing for a picture in another courtroom at Manhattan criminal court are: Reps. Anna Paulina Luna, Matt Gaetz, Bob Good, Eli Crane, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert Trump's allies left the courtroom during the morning recess to talk to the press in a small park across the street from the court The defense offered a motive for Cohen: He was bitter after passed over for any of the top jobs at the White House when Trump took power.
