Donald Trump says civil fraud trial is going ‘very well’
Donald Trump is expected to come face to face with Michael Cohen for the first time in years at his $250m civil fraud trial in New York.
Cohen, the former president’s onetime attorney and “fixer”, is expected to take the witness stand to testify in the case on Tuesday.
Mr Trump is also expected to be in court for a long-anticipated showdown between the two men.
“I will continue to speak truth to power…no matter Donald’s continued smear and harassment campaign against me,” Cohen posted on X on Monday.
The showdown comes hours after Mr Trump held a rally in New Hampshire on Monday, where he compared himself to Nelson Mandela.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone reported that Mr Trump plans to fully withdraw the US from Nato should he win the 2024 election.
The ex-president’s apparent comments about Melania Trump and classified government information have also come to light in newly-leaked audio. A trove of secret recordings of Australian Billionaire Anthony Pratt speaking about his interactions with Mr Trump was obtained by 60 Minutes Australia and shared with The New York Times.
