will continue giving evidence at his fraud trial today after a combative day in which the disgraced lawyer alleged the former president instructed him and other executives to inflate his apparent fortune.how Trump would select an “arbitrary” number – $6bn, rather than $4.5bn, for example – and instruct his executives to increase the value of his assets to reach it. Trump sat in court throughout the hearing, often shaking his head seemingly in exasperation.
Until yesterday, Trump and Cohen had not been in the same room since the latter turned on his boss five years ago. Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney for more than a decade, pleaded guilty in 2018 to felony charges, including tax evasion and lying to Congress during an investigation of Trump’s ties with Russia.
Trump lawyer Alina Habba repeatedly pressed Cohen on whether he had lied in previous statements and under oath. When Cohen objected to Habba’s line of questioning, she shot back: “You can’t object, that’s not how this works! If you still had your law license you could do that.”
