Michael Cohen told jurors key details about the awareness and involvement of Donald Trump in hush money payments to a porn star and Playboy model.

Michael Cohen, the former personal lawyer for Donald Trump, is resuming testimony at the ex-president's criminal hush money trial in New York.

Trump claims the criminal case, which accuses him of falsifying business records, is designed to keep him off the campaign trial to harm his chances in the election against President Joe Biden. Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson hold a press conference at Mr. Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on April 12, 2024, in Palm Beach, Florida.Cohen testified that Trump told him to, "Just do it," to keep Daniels quiet. As Cohen spoke, the former president sat just a few feet away from him at the defense table.

Trump is accused of nearly three dozen felony counts of falsifying Trump Organization business records, which claimed that his and the company's reimbursements to Cohen for the Daniels payment were for legal expenses.
