Donald Trump’s fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen also returned to the witness stand Tuesday.
Donald Trump's fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen returned to the witness stand Tuesday, testifying in detail about how the former president was linked to all aspects of a hush money scheme that prosecutors say was aimed at stifling stories that threatened his 2016 campaign. Trump, the first former U.S. president to go on trial, was joined at the courthouse by an entourage of lawmakers that included House Speaker Mike Johnson , who claimed the case was politically motivated.
Cohen reiterated again and again that he had no retainer agreement with Trump and that the payments were reimbursements, not for legal services rendered. It's an important distinction, because prosecutors allege that the reimbursement records falsely described the purpose of the payments as legal expenses done pursuant to a retainer. “Were the descriptions on this check stub false?” Hoffinger asked. “Yes,” Cohen said. “And again, there was no retainer agreement,” Hoffinger asked.
