Cohen, who has become one of the former president’s most vocal critics, had planned to testify at the trial last week but had to delay his appearance for health reasons.
The former president does not risk going to jail in the fraud trial, but New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, is seeking $250 million in penalties and the removal of him and his sons from management of the family empire. “I will continue to speak truth to power… no matter Donald’s continued smear and harassment campaign against me,” he added.
Cohen says he arranged the $130,000 payment in exchange for Daniels’ silence about a tryst she says she had with Trump in 2006. Earlier this month, Trump withdrew a lawsuit he filed against Cohen in April seeking $500 million for alleged breach of attorney-client privilege and a confidentiality agreement.
