Donald Trump's trial in New York will be a 'paper case' relying on business records between the former president and his ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, according to a legal expert.Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor and legal analyst who is a frequent critic of the former president, made the remarks while previewing Trump's historic falsifying business records trial, which will begin on Monday with jury selection.

With regards to Cohen, who pleaded guilty in 2018 to federal tax crimes, lying to Congress, and campaign finance violations in relation to hush money payments paid to Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, Vance added that 'presenting a witness like this isn't easy, but the best strategy is to remind jurors that they didn't pick the witness—the defendant did.''Here, Cohen has told a more or less consistent version of his story since first agreeing to cooperate.
