Cohen's testimony highlighted a significant incident in 2016 where he spoke to Trump's body man about contacting Trump regarding Stormy Daniels' payment, linking Trump to the hush money. The media and pundits portrayed this as a crucial moment which showcased Cohen's credibility issues. Despite Trump's optimistic view, media consensus leaned towards the testimony not favoring the prosecution. Observers pointed out skepticism towards Cohen's reliability, with doubts cast on his White House job aspirations. The overall sentiment was that the prosecution faced challenges in proving its case, indicating a setback for Trump's critics. The anticipated redirection with Cohen next week is hoped to clarify the messy situation from the previous hearings.
