Cohen didn't look at Trump while walking past him to testify as a key witness against his former boss.
Trump, heading into court, noted that Cohen served prison time after pleading guilty to tax evasion, lying to Congress and campaign finance violations.Trump's attorneys sought to delay the trial on Tuesday, arguing that a rash of coronavirus cases in the office of their adversary — New York Attorney General Letitia James — had put the former president's health at risk.
The trial proceeded with testimony from William Kelly, the attorney for Trump’s longtime former accounting firm, Mazars USA. The firm cut ties with Trump last year after James’ office raised questions about the reliability of his financial statements. Trump has derided the case as a “sham,” a “scam” and “a continuation of the single greatest witch hunt of all time.” The Republican presidential 2024 front-runner argues that the case is part of an effort by James and other Democrats to drag down his campaign.
Trump denies any wrongdoing. He says his assets were actually undervalued and maintains that disclaimers on his financial statements essentially told banks and other recipients to check the numbers out for themselves.
