The eagerly anticipated cross-examination of Michael D. Cohen resumes Thursday morning, a crucial opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony and perhaps trip up or provoke the state's key witness.
Mr. Cohen responded calmly and matter-of-factly, avoiding any outbursts or gaffes that could hurt his credibility. Mr. Cohen testified that Mr. Trump directed him to pay $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels, a porn star.
With no testimony scheduled for Friday, and Mr. Cohen expected to be the prosecution's final witness, closing arguments in the case could begin as soon as Monday.
Mr. Trump is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to the reimbursement of Mr. Cohen for the hush money, one for each of the documents involved: 11 checks, 11 invoices and 12 ledger entries.
