Curious about the outcome of the Trump trial?
The climax of DONALD TRUMP’S legal battle is fast approaching. The star witness for the prosecution is about to take the stand, weaving a narrative of the former president’s deceit. Over 11 days of testimony, various witnesses have shed light on Mr. Trump’s character, from his quirks like signing checks with a Sharpie pen to his alleged wrongdoings. However, none have directly linked him to the crimes he’s accused of. The responsibility of doing so falls on Michael Cohen, his once loyal lawyer turned rogue author of books titled “Disloyal” and “Revenge”.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office alleges that Mr. Trump falsified business records to hide payments made to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, before the 2016 election. In gripping testimony, Ms. Daniels recounted a sexual encounter with Mr. Trump in 2006, revealing details of their brief and uncomfortable liaison. Despite the unpleasant nature of the encounter, Mr. Trump continued to engage with her, even hinting at a spot on ”The Apprentice”.
