"Key revelations from Michael Cohen's explosive testimony against Trump in fraud trial"
Michael Cohen testified against his former boss, Donald Trump, in a civil fraud trial, describing how he manipulated Trump's financial statements to inflate his net worth. Cohen stated that he and the former Trump Organization CFO would "reverse-engineer" the statements to achieve the desired numbers set by Trump. The tension between Cohen and Trump's lawyers escalated during the cross-examination, with Cohen objecting loudly and sneering at the questions. The trial will continue, with Trump's lawyers attempting to undermine Cohen's credibility. Additionally, evidence related to Trump's bid to buy the Buffalo Bills in 2014 was allowed in court, supporting claims of fraudulent reporting by Trump. Trump, meanwhile, was involved in scuttling the House speakership candidacy of Minnesota GOP Rep. Tom Emmer.
