TL;DR Summary

Michael Cohen, former fixer for Donald Trump, will continue testifying at his fraud trial after a contentious first day. Cohen alleged that Trump instructed him and others to inflate his apparent fortune by selecting an arbitrary number and having executives increase the value of his assets to reach it. Trump, who sat in court, vehemently denies the allegations. The trial, focused on claims of conspiracy, insurance fraud, and falsifying business records, will determine the punishment. Cohen's testimony is central to the prosecutors' case against Trump, who has been accused of fraud by the judge. The trial is a bench trial, and if found guilty, Trump will not be sent to prison.
