Michael Cohen's Testimony in Trump's Criminal Trial

Far-left New York State has an ongoing trial with Donald Trump as the defendant. Michael Cohen is the star witness in the Democrats' criminal trial against Trump. Cohen, a former Trump lawyer, claims that the former president paid him hush money to commit a crime and falsify documents.

Cohen's Credibility and Incriminating Evidence

Mr. Cohen is no upstanding citizen. He has already served time in jail for lying about his work for Trump. This past week, he took the stand during the trial and provided audio proving his claims. He is considered key in the prosecution’s case. However, when the tape was played, there was far less incriminating evidence than expected.

Analysis of the Secretly Recorded Conversation

According to Just The News, when their star witness Michael Cohen played a tape he secretly made of his ex-boss and ex-client, the recording appeared to show that Trump was unaware of the details, seeming aloof to a plan Cohen himself admitted he had concocted to make the so-called “hush money” payments. So much for attorney-client privilege.

Implications of Cohen's Tape for the Trial

This secretly recorded conversation between Trump and Cohen was admitted as evidence in the ongoing criminal trial. However, the tape does not appear to prove Trump is involved in a conspiracy to break the law. In fact, this tape may help the defense more than the prosecution. The audio seems to be doing the opposite of what Cohen claimed.

CNN's Report and the Weakening Case Against Trump

Even CNN reported that three attorneys told the news media site that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's case against former President Donald Trump is not going well. As the days go on, this case looks weaker and weaker. It’s probably best they put on a defense.

Cohen's Bias and Its Impact on His Testimony

Also important to the case is the fact that the star witness, Michael Cohen, hurt his own testimony by admitting his bias against Trump. All these claims are questionable when he admitted he wanted Trump in jail. It will be difficult to convince the jury that he is being honest when he is so open about his hatred for Trump.

Expert Opinions on Alvin Bragg's Case

Experts across the board have taken New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg to task for this case. Initially assessed by the feds as lacking enough evidence, it was brought forth by Bragg in the state of New York. The accused crime is typically considered a misdemeanor, yet DA Bragg elevated it to a felony, seemingly due to his dislike for Trump and a desire to prevent him from winning the presidency.

Potential Outcomes and Next Steps

We shall see if the prosecution makes a better case against Trump. His lawyers will certainly tear many other accusations apart. This being New York, however, the jury probably holds a bias against Trump, and they will decide the result. Should Trump be convicted, one would assume this would be appealed to a higher court.
