More ina more in a moment. I want take you like to new york with Michael Cohen. So far, hes outlined that he was thanked for his work helping his ex boss, which the prosecution said it was a reference to the payment made to Stormy Daniels. He is also smoke at about back channels for communicating with then president and how we ultimately decided he could not lie for him any longer. That is some of the detail. Lets go live to the courthouse to nada tawfik. Take us through more. Yeah, matthew, michael tawfik. Take us through more. Yeah, matthew, Michael Cohen tawfik. Take us through more. Yeah, matthew, Michael Cohen on tawfik. Take us through more. Yeah, matthew, Michael Cohen on the tawfik. Take us through more. Ir u matthew, Michael Cohen on the second day on the stand is really zipping through the timeline of events in question. He talked about visiting donald trump in the white house after he became president and their conversations there, saying donald trump again expressed that he knew about the plan to reimburse Michael Cohen by disguising it as legal retainer. He said donald trump asked him if he needed any more money at that meeting. But Michael Cohen says he continued to lie for the president in order to protect him, that everything he did was for the benefit of his campaign earlier, but that there was a point when he started to reconsider his loyalty. He outlined when that was. Michael cohen pleaded guilty to federal Campaignfinance Cohen pleaded guilty to federal Campaign Finance violations in 2018 after federal investigators started looking into the Stormy Daniels payment. Michael cohen said that after a raid on his home, he was angry, despondent and got a call from donald trump telling him to stay strong, that he would be fine because donald trump is the president of the United States. Although Michael Cohen said he did feel reassured by that call, as pressured continued to build, he discussed with his family what to do and ultimately, his wife and kids asked him why he was still being loyal to donald trump. Michael cohen said it was his point that he decided to no longer live for his former boss. Composed on the stand, continuing to give evidence that is incredibly helpful to the prosecutions case. Of course, we are all waiting for when you will undergo cross examination. find are all waiting for when you will undergo crossexamination. And we know, undergo crossexamination. And we know. Nada.

And we know, nada, it will be brutal undergo crossexamination. And we know, nada, it will be brutalwhen l know, nada, it will be brutal when it comes. We know its going to concentrate and focus on the fact that he has lied many times before. Given all that, what is the prosecution, what is Michael Cohen doing in terms of addressing that . Well, matthew, they asked him about lying to congress about Trump Tower Projects in russia. Michael cohen said he lied to protect donald trump, that he was trying to stay on message, that there was no russia comes to he was then asked about lying to members of the press no russia conspiracy. When they asked him about the Stormy Daniels payment. He said he put out a misleading statement to try to protect donald trump. What were seeing prosecutors do is try to lay out that this was somebody who was extremely loyal to the president and thats why he lied, so that when he is on the stand, itll perhaps take away some of the power of the defences questioning when they try to paint him as somebody who cannot be trusted and just has a vengeance against donald trump.
