Former President Donald Trump’s ex-lawyer, Michael Cohen, is expected to testify on Monday in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case regarding a $130,000 payment made to adult actress Stormy Daniels in 2016.

This payment was allegedly to keep Daniels from disclosing a sexual encounter she claimed to have had with Trump in the early 2000s.

Cohen, who served as Trump’s personal attorney at the time, later received multiple payments of $35,000 from Trump.

Bragg’s indictment accuses Trump of falsifying business records based on these payments, arguing they were reimbursements for the payment to Daniels, Fox News has reported.

However, Trump’s defense claims the $35,000 payments were legal and not reimbursements. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Cohen, who previously pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and other charges, is expected to testify despite Trump’s dismissal of him as a “proven liar.”

The ongoing trial, which has seen testimony from figures like Hope Hicks, former press secretary for the 2016 Trump campaign, resumed for its 15th day of witness testimony on Friday.
