TL;DR Summary

Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former lawyer and "fixer," testified at Trump's civil fraud trial in New York, alleging that Trump personally authorized the fraudulent inflation of his net worth and property valuations. Cohen, who turned on Trump in 2018, is a key witness in the case seeking to recoup $250 million and impose sanctions on Trump's ability to do business in New York. Trump and his co-defendants deny all wrongdoing and question Cohen's credibility due to his prior convictions. The trial is proceeding on accusations of fraud, falsification of records, conspiracy, and insurance fraud.
