Cohen’s $130,000 payment in October 2016 is at the heart of Trump’s trial, the first for a former U.S. president
Former U.S. president Donald Trump, with lawyers Todd Blanche, left, and Emil Bove, left, attends his trial for allegedly covering up hush money payments linked to extramarital affairs, at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City, on May 14.
A day after several Republican lawmakers attended the trial in support of Trump, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson joined him before Tuesday’s session and was set to address reporters outside the courthouse later. Former presidential candidates Vivek Ramaswamy and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, both vice presidential hopefuls, also accompanied Trump.
Cohen testified that Trump was solely concerned about the impact Daniels’ story could have on his White House bid - and not, as Trump’s defense lawyers have suggested, about the effect on his wife and family. That distinction is crucial to the prosecution’s case. Cohen said that he, Trump and tabloid publisher David Pecker had secretly agreed in 2015 to use the National Enquirer to help Trump’s campaign.
