Outside of court, Trump shirked Cohen’s testimony, claiming that Cohen was a “proven liar.”
“I’m not worried at all about his testimony,” Trump said. “He’s not a credible witness.”
Judge Arthur Engoron issued a summary judgment in September that found New York Attorney General Letitia James had already proved Trump misvalued his properties and committed business fraud, soon after canceling the business certificates of Trump’s companies. What remains to be seen in the trial is whether Trump violated other laws and, ultimately, what kind of financial penalty he might have to pay.
