Former President Donald Trump faces trial on April 15, becoming the first ex-president in U.S. history to stand trial in a criminal case.
The trial, initiated by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, centers on charges of falsifying business records related to a hush-money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump, also the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, vehemently denies all charges, labeling the case as politically motivated.
Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer, hinted at bombshell revelations anticipated during the trial. Cohen, expected to be a key witness for the prosecution, suggested that the evidence presented would surprise the public.
In an interview, Cohen emphasized the strength of the prosecution’s case, implying that corroborating evidence exists beyond what is publicly known.
As anticipation builds, Cohen’s remarks fuel speculation about the nature of the evidence that could emerge in court. He underscored that the case’s complexity extends beyond mere headlines, hinting at a deeper narrative awaiting revelation.
Trump’s spokesperson and Cohen were both approached for comment, but responses are pending.
Cohen, once a staunch ally of Trump, faced legal troubles himself, serving time in prison after pleading guilty to various charges, including campaign finance violations related to the Stormy Daniels payment.
Since then, Cohen has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, offering insights into his former boss’s inner workings.
This trial follows Trump’s recent legal battles, including a civil fraud case in which a New York judge found him liable for financial fraud. Trump contests these judgments, maintaining his innocence and appealing the court’s decisions.
