Michael Cohen testifies about Stormy Daniels payment at Donald Trump's criminal trial

Donald Trump came face-to-face with his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, who testified Monday in the former president's New York criminal trial. The one-time fixer and inside man detailed how Trump personally approved the so-called "hush money" payouts to hide stories he believed would hurt his 2016 run for the White House. Robert Costa was inside the courthouse for the riveting testimony.

Oh, they’re not gonna talk about P. Diddy because politicians were there

Season 8, episode 32 of “WE GOT HIM NOW”. Stay tuned!

[brtthys]

I like how CNN allows the known perjurer to talk uninterrupted and with Trump they talk over him and doesn’t allow their audience to hear what he says. Stay informed and stay free.

[joshb]

As if "under oath" matters. Lol

[jeffwood]

He lied before, but he's telling the truth now. SURE BUDDY...

[josvaz]

What ever happened to attorney client privalige?

[larrybradford]

Even CNN admitted this trial wouldn’t be going on if it wasn’t against Trump

[deanmarano]

Amazing how folks who already lied under oath and faced no consequences, are now believable and credible. The justice system is a commodity, if they say so.

[redfan]

Wait until Cohen has to talk about all of the other invoices that were unpaid

[kerpal]

nobody cares, the rest of us got bills to pay

[CharlesConnolley]

Hush money is done all the time with government officials.

[pumpofwallstreet]

Breaking news, everyone is voting for Trump

[xmaryHXCx]

Funny how we didn’t hear about this for over a year and now cause it’s election year it’s the hot topic again…

[rhrh]

Congress has a slush fund for such cases.... but, that's okay! LOL

[flashUSA]

Seinfeld "The show about absolutely nothing" = NY Trump trial ""The show trial about absolutely nothing"

[lisalinnae]

Life boils down to honesty...or lies... we choose our path.

Anyone else just click on this to hit the thumbs down? What a pathetic excuse for a news channel. So incredibly biased.

[Nuyorknetwork]

He cannot look at his face. He’s a coward

[AleandFire]

Remember the phony guy in Family Guy. Where is he at when you need him?

[christophergreasley]

Two pieces of work against each other. God help America.
