Trump trial live updates: Michael Cohen testifies in hush money case, recounts arranging deal to silence Stormy Daniels

Michael Cohen, a person who used to work for Donald Trump, said that Allen Weisselberg, who was in charge of money at Trump's company, agreed to pay $130,000 to Stormy Daniels. This happened after the new year. Cohen told Trump about this on October 28, 2016, after Stormy Daniels agreed not to talk about what happened. Cohen also said that if he knew the money was coming from a fake company, he wouldn't have done it. This means he wouldn't have used the money if he knew it was not legal. Cohen talked to Trump twice on the day he paid Stormy Daniels. He wanted to make sure Trump was okay with it because he always needed Trump's permission for these things. Cohen also asked another person, David Pecker, to pay Stormy Daniels, but he said no. Trump then told Cohen to handle it and pay her. Cohen tried to delay the payment until after the election, following advice from Trump's friends. Trump didn't care about his wife Melania in this situation; he only cared about the election. When Cohen asked Trump about Melania after hearing that Stormy Daniels might tell everyone about their relationship, Trump didn't seem worried about his wife. Cohen also talked about a recording of a conversation between him and Trump about another deal. Cohen said he was very loyal to Trump and would do anything for him. He even called himself Trump's "fixer."
