May 16, 2024, 02:02 PM

Rep. Dan Goldman, a Democrat NY Congressman, has admitted to meeting with Michael Cohen multiple times to prepare him for his testimony in the Trump hush money trial. Cohen, a key witness in the trial, has returned to the stand for cross-examination by Trump's legal team. There are allegations of a conflict of interest as Goldman is a client of Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the case. Goldman's payments to Loren Merchan's firm Authentic Campaigns exceed $150,000. The defense is questioning Cohen's credibility, focusing on his interactions with the DA's office and his public statements.
