Michael Cohen is set to return to the witness stand on Thursday in Donald Trump's criminal trial over hush money payments made during the 2016 election. Defense attorneys will focus on cross-examining Cohen's credibility, pointing to inconsistencies with his 2020 memoir, where he previously described some events. Cohen secretly recorded a 2016 conversation where Trump discussed reimbursing David Pecker for the Karen McDougal payment, evidence used in the trial. Cohen expressed frustration over a bonus cut from Trump in 2016 after he personally paid Stormy Daniels, raising the idea of selling her story himself.
