But not before another high profile witness, former trump fixer, Michael Cohen. We saw dramatic Witness Testimony from Stormy Daniels who would not be intimidated by lawyers out of telling her account of the allegedly counter encounter with trump. Todays testimony did not include any star witnesses, but it was important in setting the stage for next week. The trump lawyer turned enemy, Michael Cohen, will take the witness stand monday. He was the fixer of the 130,000 cash money payment to Stormy Daniels before the president ial election of 2016. We began the trial today and continued testimony from trumps former director of oval office operations.
