For this episode of
Trump's Trials, host
Scott Detrow speaks with NPR political reporter
Ximena Bustillo and Boston University law professor
Jed Shugerman.
The prosecution's star witness, Michael Cohen was on the stand for three days this week. He testified about the alleged scheme to pay off adult film star Stormy Daniels and the alleged business fraud that followed. Cohen placed former President Trump at the scene saying he was aware and involved in the alleged cover up.
But Cohen is an admitted liar and the defense called into question his credibility.
Cohen is expected back on the stand on Monday and is likely the prosecution's final witness. Closing statements may begin as soon as Tuesday.
Topics include:
- Michael Cohen testimony
- What prosecution needs to prove
- What's next
