"Trump and Cohen's Explosive Courtroom Reunion: A Faceoff of Fraud and Testimony"

In the fraud trial of Donald Trump, his former employee Michael Cohen took the stand and testified that Trump directed him and others to manipulate the values of assets to inflate his net worth. Cohen described a scheme in which handwritten notes were used to mark up Trump's net worth, with Trump dictating the numbers. Trump, who sued Cohen for $500 million and called him a "rat," appeared in person for the testimony but could only scowl and shake his head. Cohen, who hasn't seen his former boss in five years, described the courtroom reunion as a "heck of a reunion." The trial, which has entered its fourth week, centers around allegations of financial fraud and misrepresentation.
