Cohen's impending grand jury appearance was confirmed by two people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to speak publicly about grand jury proceedings and did so on condition of anonymity.
Cohen has given prosecutors evidence, including voice recordings of conversations he had with a lawyer for one of the women, as well as emails and text messages. He also has recordings of a conversation in which he and Trump spoke about an arrangement to pay the other woman through the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer.
Trump has denied the affairs and has said he did nothing wrong. Prosecutors have invited him to testify before the grand jury, and he has the right to testify under New York law. However, legal experts say he is unlikely to do so because it wouldn't benefit his defense and he'd have to give up a cloak of immunity that's automatically granted to grand jury witnesses under state law.
Cohen has been meeting regularly with Manhattan prosecutors in recent weeks, including a daylong session Friday to prepare for his grand jury appearance. Cohen declined to comment to reporters as he left the meeting, saying he'd be "taking a little bit of time now to stay silent and allow the D.A. build their case."Trump continued to lash out at the probe on social media Friday, calling the case a "Scam, Injustice, Mockery, and Complete and Total Weaponization of Law Enforcement in order to affect a Presidential Election!"
Apparently the corporate media doesn't know the economy is in free fall.
They are doing everything they can to stop this man from running for president.
You mean Michael Cohen the proven liar? Ok 😂
Why testify, didn't Michael Orchestrate the whole affair to payment scam?
He’s already a proven liar, what makes you think he’s going to tell the truth now
1 comment “Pro Trump” and it’s hidden. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
