Michael Cohen, a key witness against former President Donald Trump, said, 'I need to attend to a pre-existing medical condition.'
Former President Donald Trump's ex-lawyer and 'fixer,' Michael Cohen, will not testify next week as planned in the New York civil fraud trial against Trump and his company, due to a medical issue.'Unfortunately I need to attend to a pre-existing medical condition that impedes my ability to testify this upcoming week. Rest assured, I will testify at the earliest opportunity,' Cohen said in a statement to CBS News.The Daily Beast first reported this development.
Just before proceedings broke for the weekend Friday afternoon, a lawyer working for James' office asked to approach the bench to discuss a 'scheduling issue' that arose 'in the last 45 minutes.'Lawyers for both sides huddled with the judge and then left without publicly addressing the issue. Cohen had been expected to take the stand as soon as Tuesday and undergo at least two days of questioning.
