During the trial, prosecutors presented the jury with a National Enquirer cover featuring the headline, 'The Donald Trump Nobody Knows!' This headline hinted at a potentially revealing story about the former president.
Michael Cohen, a key witness in the trial, testified that he became aware of a rumor involving Trump allegedly fathering a 'love child.' Concerned about the negative impact this story could have on Trump, Cohen promptly informed him about the situation.
According to Cohen's testimony, Trump instructed him to ensure that the story did not become public knowledge and to take charge of handling the situation. This directive from Trump placed Cohen in a position of responsibility regarding the potentially damaging story.
