Four big takeaways from Day 16 of Trump's hush money trial
The criminal hush money trial of former President Donald Trump reached a crescendo Monday when the state's star witness, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, testified about his ex-boss directing him to "just take care of" a payment to silence adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the waning days of his 2016 presidential campaign. Cohen claimed that Trump blessed those negotiations, approved the final deal, and signed off on the reimbursement plan in the final days before his presidential inauguration. Cohen testified that the sole purpose of the scheme was to protect Trump's political fortunes and obscure his role in orchestrating the arrangements. "Everything required Mr. Trump's sign off," Cohen said on the stand. Trump is on trial for allegedly falsifying business records to hide the reimbursement of a hush money payment that Cohen made to Stormy Daniels in order to boost Trump's electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election. The payment was to buy Daniels' silence about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump that the former president has steadfastly denied.
