Cohen implicated Trump by telling the Manhattan courtroom that Trump tasked him to keep stories about sex out of the media, referencing Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal hush-money arrangements.
Cohen highlighted that his actions were directed by and for the benefit of Trump, emphasizing that everything required Trump's approval.
Despite Cohen's controversial past and guilty pleas, his first-hand knowledge of Trump's activities is considered crucial for the prosecution's case, though it poses a risk due to his potential unpopularity with jurors.
