The civil fraud case could break up the Republican frontrunner’s business empire.
Donald Trump allegedly inflated the value of his properties by billions of dollars in statements to banks.
Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to felony charges including tax evasion and lying to Congress during a probe of Trump’s ties with Russia. The trial stems from a lawsuit by Democratic New York attorney-general Letitia James alleging Trump inflated the value of his properties by billions of dollars in statements to banks to secure better loan terms.
Cohen, who served as Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer for years before cutting ties amid his own legal troubles, was set to take the stand after Kelly. He has occasionally appeared in court over the past month, complaining in inflammatory remarks to reporters that it is a distraction from his campaign.
