Inside Michael Cohen's alleged role in hush money trial
Trump is currently facing a hush money trial in New York for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels to not disclose their alleged affair with the former president before the 2016 election.
Prosecutors have relentlessly sought to portray Cohen as a key player in a conspiracy involving the former president and National Enquirer editor, David Pecker, to influence the 2016 election.
According to prosecutors, soon after Trump announced his run for office, the businessman, Cohen, and Pecker met at Trump Tower in August 2015.
The trio devised a strategy that involved smearing the former president's opponents and damaging stories, particularly the hush money case that could impact the campaign.
Cohen is known for his alleged role in orchestrating the hush money payment to Daniels which underscores his position as the politician's true confidant and "fixer."
