Michael Cohen takes the stand this week to support prosecutors' case of Trump falsifying records to pay Stormy Daniels. Cohen discussed 'reimbursements' for hush money with Trump early in his presidency, including receiving checks FedEx'd from New York.
Cohen's evolution from vowing to 'take a bullet' for Trump to becoming a key witness against him highlights their falling out in 2018. The hush-money payment to Stormy Daniels lies at the core of the case against Trump in New York.
The case presents a battle over Cohen's credibility - portrayed as an unrepentant liar by Trump's defense, while the prosecution argues he's now telling the truth. The Daniels case led to Cohen's guilty plea to federal charges in 2018.
Before turning against Trump, Cohen faithfully executed questionable tasks for him, but their relationship deteriorated post the Stormy Daniels scandal. Trump ceased covering Cohen's legal expenses once he began cooperating with authorities.
