Michael Cohen hasn't taken the stand in Trump's hush money trial. But jurors are hearing his words
The second week of testimony in Donald Trump's hush money case will wrap up after jurors heard a recording of the Republican ex-president that's central to the case. Prosecutors have used detailed testimony about meetings, email exchanges, business transactions and bank accounts to build on the foundation of their case. Trump’s defense has worked to poke holes in the credibility of prosecutors’ witnesses and show Trump was trying to protect his reputation and family — not his 2016 campaign — by paying women who had damaging claims about him. A former close Trump adviser, Hope Hicks, could testify as soon as Friday.
