    Odd to confront Cohen with lies while his client does that relentlessly for whatever he wants.
  • Yes, he signs 11 cheques for 35,000 each and he did not know what the amounts were for!! If Americans, including the jury, believe that he did not know what he was paying for they are more asinine than anyone can imagine.
  • @Smokygirl56
    The paper and signature documents tell it all
  • @user9b2
    That is how mob bosses work, deny deny deny…..

    This is the reason why I would never vote for Trump. I used to believe that to hold the office of the president of the United States of America the individual elected would display the highest degree of honesty and integrity. I'm sorry but with Trump... you won't find any of these.
  • He doesn't or didn't know about the hush money - That's a cracking joke!
  • @user-od9iz9cv1w
    Let's have a unanimous guilty verdict by May 24th and let the jury go home for the weekend knowing that they did their part in holding this guy accountable for something. He should long ago have been locked up for the documents case and the insurrection cases. Then let the appeals courts deny his frivolous appeals and NY, and E Jean can get their money.

    How do you not know about something you literally signed your name on 34 times?
  • @kittywalker2944
    Who could be gullible enough to believe that? He’s made it clear that he knows Everything that happens in his ‘organization,’ for years. 🇺🇸💙
  • He's guilty, all the evidence are there: the checks, the bank account statements and the handwriting notes.
  • What little successes Trump has had during his political misadventures are related to the fact that his followers are inclined to accept being conned rather than recognizing that they have been. This is one reason that Trump stresses "victimhood" in his public utterances.
  • Won't the jury be left wondering where is Allen Weiselberg, and why hasn't he been brought into court?
  • Give me a break Trump had to approve a $600 jewelry item and suddenly he knew nothing about $130,000 payment which he personally wrote the check out for
  • @no1nderwhy
    A whole new moral compass being established around the liar mantra. We know better. Go USA💙
