Michael Cohen admits to slew of lies during testimony at Trump’s hush money trial

Michael Cohen, during testimony at the hush money trial against his ex-longtime boss Donald Trump, admitted to a slew of lies he made to protect the former president.

Prosecutors questioned Cohen — their star witness — for about eight hours over Monday and Tuesday about helping Trump allegedly cover-up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election season to keep her from going public about claims she slept with the married real estate mogul once in 2006.

During the testimony in Manhattan Supreme Court, prosecutors spent time painstakingly going over Cohen’s fibs and misdeeds — likely in a bid to get ahead of Trump’s attorneys trying to eviscerate the ex-con’s credibility by playing up his criminal past and his numerous admitted lies.
