Cohen Implicates Trump in Hush Money Scheme

Trump's Ex-Lawyer Testifies About Stormy Daniels Payment

Cohen Alleges Trump Authorized $420,000 Payment Over 12 Months

Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to Donald Trump, has testified that he discussed the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels with Trump personally. Cohen claims that Trump authorized the payment of $420,000 to Daniels over 12 months.

This revelation is significant because it implicates Trump directly in the hush money scheme. Previously, Trump had denied any knowledge of the payments, and claimed that Cohen had acted on his own.

Cohen's testimony is part of his ongoing legal battle with Trump. Cohen has already been sentenced to three years in prison for campaign finance violations related to the hush money payments.

Trump has not commented on Cohen's testimony, but is expected to do so in the coming days.
