Michael Cohen testified for a second day in former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York.

On the second day of Michael Cohen's testimony against former President Donald Trump in his civil fraud trial, a lawyer with the New York attorney general's office objected to a question from Trump attorney Alina Habba.The prosecutor, Colleen Faherty, said Habba's questions appeared to be 'bleeding into' issues related to a criminal case against the president, for which Cohen is also a key witness.

Habba showed a 2015 television interview in which Cohen said $10 billion could be an underestimate of Trump's wealth, and an article from that same year in which he was quoted saying Trump had 'all the qualifications of a great president.' In another article, Cohen was quoted speaking glowingly of 'Mr. Trump's character and capabilities.' In a tweet, Cohen wrote he believed 'whole heartedly that only #Trump will #MakeAmericaGreatAgain.
