Donald Trump’s hush money ‘was to help him win the presidency, not to protect Melania’, his former attorney testified.
Republican strategist Amy Tarkanian told Julia Hartley-Brewer: “A supporter said, 'if he murdered somebody standing on the steps of the White House, he’d still be my man'."
Donald Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen will resume testifying today at the Republican presidential candidate's criminal trial, a day after telling jurors that Trump personally authorized him to make a hush money payment to a porn star weeks before the 2016 election.
Cohen, once so loyal to Trump that he claimed he would take a bullet for his boss, is the prosecution's most important witness. In hours of testimony on Monday (May 13), he said Trump ordered him to pay the adult film actress Stormy Daniels - "Just do it," Cohen remembered Trump saying - to ensure her silence about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter.
Cohen's $130,000 payment in October 2016 is at the heart of Trump's trial, the first for a former U.S. president, which began in New York state criminal court in Manhattan a month ago.
