Michael Cohen laid out a series of damning accusations against the president, presenting evidence of alleged lies and criminal conduct and expressing remorse over his decade of service to a man he described as unstable and racist
check signed by Trump from his personal bank account — while he was president in 2017 — as one part of a reimbursement to Cohen for the $130,000 payment to buy the silence of adult film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges that she and Trump had an affair.
In his opening statement, Cohen charged that the president’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and longtime Trump Organization chief financial officer Allen Weisselberg, had also signed checks reimbursing him for the hush-money payments. Cohen said he has maintained “constant contact” with federal prosecutors in New York about several ongoing investigations, including probes into Trump. He also said the U.S. attorney’s office instructed him not to answer questions about what he discussed the last time he communicated with the president or people acting on his behalf.
“Mr. Cohen’s statement is not true,” wrote Stone, who was charged last month in the Mueller probe for lying to Congress and obstructing lawmakers' Russia investigation.
