Trump's Legal Battles Intensify as Michael Cohen Takes the Stand

Michael Cohen testified against former President Donald Trump in his civil fraud trial, with questions from Trump's attorney bleeding into issues related to a criminal case against Trump. Cohen is a key witness in both cases, a criminal one brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and a civil one brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Trump's attorneys attacked Cohen's credibility, highlighting his motivations for testifying against Trump. Cohen testified about his interactions with investigators and denied asking for a pardon from Trump. The judge denied a motion to dismiss the case and fined Trump $10,000 for violating a gag order.
