Michael Cohen's 'Incendiary' Cross-Examination Not Helping Trump: Professor

The 'incendiary' cross-examination of Michael Cohen is unlikely to overcome the huge weight of evidence in Donald Trump's hush-money trial, a law professor has said.Anthony Alfieri, a professor at University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, Florida, told Newsweek that, no matter what the defense lawyers throw at Cohen, it won't overcome what has already been established by other witnesses and through banking and other documents.

The trial doesn't sit on Wednesday, so cross-examination will continue on Thursday.'The Trump defense team's incendiary efforts to impeach Michael Cohen's credibility by introducing evidence of bias... are unlikely to overcome the weight of both documentary and testimonial evidence previously adduced by the prosecution,' Alfieri said.Prosecutors say that Cohen made the payment to Daniels on Trump's behalf and was later reimbursed.
