Cohen admits to stealing and other takeaways from day 19 of Trump’s trial

The prosecution rested its case in Trump’s New York hush-money trial, as the defence finished cross-examining Cohen.
Disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen has completed his testimony before a New York criminal courtroom, as the case against his boss, former United States President Donald Trump, approaches its likely end.
Monday marked Cohen’s fourth and final day on the witness stand. His words were the last witness testimony the prosecution called before resting its case.
Now, the trial shifts towards the defence, as it seeks to rebut allegations that Trump falsified business records in order to conceal a hush-money payment to a former adult film star — and thereby bolster his chances in the 2016 presidential election.
In October 2016, Cohen transferred $130,000 to the adult film star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about an affair she alleged she had with then-candidate Trump.
Cohen has maintained that he made the payment at Trump’s command — and that Trump then reimbursed the payment through surreptitious means, filing it under “legal expenses”.
