Trump trial live updates: Trial resumes with Michael Cohen likely to testify this week

The most anticipated witness in Donald Trump’s secret trial in New York is expected to appear Monday: Michael Cohen, who was the former president’s lawyer and intermediary.

Prosecutors will ask Cohen to demonstrate that Trump was directly involved in falsifying business records to keep a secret $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. In exchange, she agreed to remain silent about her claim that she and Trump had a sexual relationship years earlier.
