Michael Cohen's Credibility Damaged

During the Trump-Hush Money case, Michael Cohen's credibility was further tarnished as he confessed to stealing $60,000 from the Trump organization alongside his evident animosity towards Trump. This revelation of theft, interwoven with payments to Stormy Daniels and questionable reimbursements, raises doubts about Trump's alleged awareness of Cohen's actions. The prosecution, resting their case, heavily relies on Cohen's testimony, creating a pivotal moment where the jury's trust in his words will influence the trial's outcome.
