Former president Donald Trump was in court to hear the evidence of his former fixer.

Donald Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen has told the former president’s civil fraud trial that he worked to boost asset values to “whatever number Trump told us to”.

“I’m not worried at all about his testimony,” Trump said. “You see what his record is. He’s not a credible witness.” “Heck of a reunion,” Cohen said during the court break. Earlier, he had insisted outside court that “this is not about Donald Trump vs Michael Cohen or Michael Cohen vs. Donald Trump”.“This is about accountability, plain and simple,” he added.

Trump says his assets were undervalued, and he maintains that disclaimers on his financial statements essentially told recipients to check the numbers for themselves. Cohen gave copies of three of Trump’s financial statements to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, saying the former president gave the statements to Deutsche Bank to inquire about a loan to buy American football club the Buffalo Bills, and to Forbes magazine to substantiate his claim to a spot in its list of the world’s wealthiest people.
