Did Trump's lawyers do enough to damage Michael Cohen's testimony? – The Washington Post
Trump defense lawyers hoped prosecution witness Michael Cohen’s testimony in the New York hush money trial would fall apart because of past lies.
NEW YORK — Michael Cohen arrived for his cross-examination by Donald Trump’s defense lawyers known as someone convicted of lying to Congress and cheating on his taxes.
The former Trump lawyer left the Manhattan criminal courthouse witness stand after several days of testimony having admitted that he stole tens of thousands of dollars, lied to a federal judge and invented meetings with a prosecutor. Cohen was presented with some evidence that appeared to contradict his previous statements under oath at the trial.
