And lets just say that a lot happened today in lower manhattan. Lucky for us, we have the perfect person to talk about it with. Diane perry has been serving as counsel for Michael Cohen during the trial and has given an interview about the testimony. We will talk to her in a moment. Her client, Michael Cohen, of course is the star witness in the case and he returned to the stand today for a third day of crossexamination.

There was even a moment where the politeness went both ways between Donald Trumps Criminal Defense Lawyer, todd lynch, and Michael Cohen after Michael Cohen give Todd Blackledge a detailed explanation of the new York City Tax business, including regulations of the Taxi Limousine Commission when Michael Cohen owne

The makeup was minimal, the way she and the other moms in her neighborhood might look while shopping at the local Grocery Store and long blonde hair, pulled up with a clip at the back of her head. The way it might be in a utilitarian way while shes doing dishes or checking one of the horseshoes are her horse. She later spoke up so proudly paid when she walked by him . Her face had the same expressionless, somber look that all the jurors always have when they walk by him, looking at the floor. She didnt look at him with the first time they were in a room together, his bodyguard was raining outside the door. This time, his bodyguards were much closer. She was alone in the room with him that first time. This time . There were over 100 people in the room, all watching her, except him. He didnt look at her. When she sa
