TL;DR Summary

Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump turned antagonist, testified against the former president during a civil fraud trial brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Cohen claimed that Trump ordered him and others to inflate the value of his assets to achieve a desired net worth. Cohen's testimony marked a turbulent beginning to the fourth week of the trial, injecting a personal element into the proceedings. Trump and his attorneys have denied any wrongdoing, and he does not face prison time in the civil case. Cohen's credibility was heavily examined during questioning, and he is expected to play a prominent role in a separate criminal case against Trump in New York.
