Donald Trump‘s former attorney Michael Cohen began testifying Monday at the former president’s criminal trial, and Cohen described how he arranged a hush money payment to a porn star who claimed to have had a sexual encounter with his client years before the 2016 election.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleges Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, falsified business records to cover his reimbursement to Cohen of the payment to silence a porn star in the final days of his 2016 campaign. Trump, who has denied the affair, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and kept his eyes closed in court on Monday morning during portions of Cohen’s testimony.
