Michael Cohen's Testimony Raises Credibility Concerns

Michael Cohen arrives at New York Supreme Court, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023, in New York. Former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen says he unwittingly passed along to his attorney bogus artificial in

During the recent testimony, there has been a focus on a crucial piece of evidence linking Donald Trump to a hush money payoff. Michael Cohen's testimony has raised questions about the credibility of this connection. If Cohen fails to provide a more convincing explanation or address these concerns, doubts may arise about his overall honesty.

One key aspect under scrutiny is a phone call involving Cohen, Keith Schiller, and Donald Trump. The duration of conversations and the flow of information between these individuals are being examined closely. The possibility that Cohen may have spoken to Trump while Schiller was also on the line has been suggested.

The District Attorney's approach to this matter has been meticulous, with a strong emphasis on presenting corroborating evidence. However, the recent revelation regarding People's Exhibit 341 has introduced a new layer of complexity. This particular exhibit has been likened to an 'exploding cigar,' implying that it may have unexpected consequences.

It is evident that Cohen was taken aback by the developments during the testimony, indicating that he may not have been fully prepared for certain lines of questioning. The lack of prior discussion on certain aspects of the case between Cohen and the District Attorney has raised eyebrows.

Despite the challenges posed by the unfolding events, there is still an opportunity for further clarification and potential rehabilitation of Cohen's credibility. The focus now shifts to how the DA will navigate these intricate details within the constraints of time during the ongoing proceedings.
