Cohen to Return for Cross-Examination as Prosecution Prepares to Rest Case

27 mins ago

Michael Cohen will return to the witness stand for cross-examination as prosecutors say they plan to call no more witnesses.

Mr. Cohen is the prosecution’s most critical witness, as he is the only one that has testified about personal knowledge of former President Donald Trump’s knowledge and involvement of an alleged payment scheme to influence the 2016 elections.

President Trump was charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records for 11 checks cut to Mr. Cohen, which prosecutors allege were falsely categorized as legal expenses in order to hide payment to an adult film actress to prevent stories about an alleged affair from being published on the eve of the 2016 presidential elections.
