Donald Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen finished his first day of testimony at a New York court on Monday in the ex-president's historic hush-money trial.
Cohen claims Trump directed him to "just do it" and pay Stormy Daniels the hush money to buy her silence. Ms Daniels had, in exchange for the money, agreed to keep quiet about allegedly having sex with Mr Trump while he was married. Mr Trump has denied ever having sex with Ms Daniels.
