Jurors in the ongoing trial have been presented with a series of text messages exchanged between Michael Cohen and Trump's longtime bodyguard Keith Schiller on June 16, 2016. The conversation reportedly revolved around what Cohen referred to as 'the Karen McDougal matter.'
In the text exchange, Cohen initiates the conversation by reaching out to Schiller, expressing the need to speak with him. Schiller responds, indicating his location in Dallas. Cohen then inquires about the whereabouts of 'the boss,' which Cohen later clarified in his testimony as a reference to Mr. Trump.
Further texts reveal that Trump was indeed present, as Schiller confirms that he is 'next to me.' Cohen then seeks confirmation on whether Trump is available to speak, asking, 'Is he free to speak?'
These text messages are being presented as evidence in the trial, shedding light on the communication between Cohen and Schiller regarding the Karen McDougal matter. Cohen has emphasized the importance of this conversation, indicating its significance in the context of the case.
The content of these texts provides insight into the interactions between key individuals involved in the situation under scrutiny. As the trial progresses, these messages are expected to play a crucial role in the proceedings, offering a glimpse into the events surrounding the Karen McDougal matter on that particular day in 2016.
