Trump's former attorney is a key witness for the prosecution.
Prosecutors view Cohen as a critical link in their case against the former and possibly future president: the co-conspirator who connects Trump directly to hush money for adult entertainer Stormy Daniels. Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 days before the 2016 election to stay quiet about her claim of a sexual liaison years earlier with the star of Celebrity Apprentice, at the time a married real estate mogul with a newborn son and a short political resumé. Prosecutors will have to convince jurors that a scheme relying on misdemeanor counts of business wrongdoing became a felony because Trump employed it to interfere with a presidential election by keeping voters in the dark about a tryst with a porn star.
