Michael Cohen Directly Implicates Trump In Testimony At Hush Money Trial

(NEW YORK) — Donald Trump’s fixer-turned-foe, Michael Cohen, directly implicated the former president in a hush money scheme Monday, telling jurors that his celebrity client tasked him on several occasions to stifle stories about sex that he feared could torpedo his 2016 presidential campaign. “Stop this from getting out,” Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness, quoted Trump as telling him in reference to porn actor Stormy Daniels’ account of a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] A similar episode occurred when Cohen alerted Trump that a Playboy model was alleging that she and Trump had an extramarital affair.
