Little more than two weeks into Donald J. Trump's presidency, he and his personal lawyer sat in the Oval Office and sealed a deal that prosecutors say was a crime...Mr. Trump was reimbursing Mr. Cohen for paying off a porn star, Stormy Daniels, but the check stubs described the payments as part of a legal retainer agreement.
The men did not discuss specifics at that White House meeting, but Mr. Cohen testified that the plan to fake the records had been cooked up weeks earlier in New York...The testimony was a pivotal moment for prosecutors, offering the jury its first and only personal account tying the former president to the documents at the crux of his case.
