Michael Cohen testified in court Regarding an alleged 2006 sexual encounter, Stormy Daniels received $130,000 in hush money, which Trump personally approved.
Although the payout is legitimate, Trump is charged with fabricating documents to conceal it, a charge he refutes.
Mr. Cohen, an attorney in the past who called himself a “fixer” for the former president, testified at his trial in New York on Monday.
Trump’s attorneys have portrayed the hush money as an effort to shield their client from gossip and emotional distress.
Mr. Cohen informed the court that he had learned Daniels was thinking of selling her tale, and he informed his boss that immediate action was necessary.
