During the New York trial involving former President Donald Trump, proceedings were temporarily halted for lunch as former lawyer Michael Cohen continued his testimony in the afternoon. Cohen, a key witness for the prosecution, delved into the details of an alleged attempt to conceal Trump's affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. Cohen claimed that Trump was displeased with his handling of the situation.
Cohen recounted that Trump expressed frustration, stating, 'I thought you had this under control, I thought you took care of this.' Cohen clarified that he had addressed the matter as early as 2011, but Trump insisted that Cohen 'just take care of it.' Trump characterized the situation as a 'total disaster,' expressing concerns about its impact on the campaign's appeal to women voters.
The testimony shed light on the strained relationship between Trump and Cohen, with Cohen describing Trump's reaction to the resurfacing scandal. Cohen's account provided insight into the dynamics within Trump's inner circle and the efforts made to manage potentially damaging revelations.
