Trump hush money trial: Key takeaways from fifth day of testimony
The second week of testimony in Donald Trump’s so-called hush money criminal trial is now in full swing in Manhattan.
On Tuesday morning, the former president arrived promptly for the fifth day of testimony, delivering his usual grievance-focused diatribe to the assembled media from behind barricades erected in the hallway of the criminal court.
Inside the courtroom, Mr Trump was hit with a $9,000 gag order fine and was granted his request to attend Barron’s graduation all before a witness even took the stand.
Jurors then heard from multiple witnesses with a brief stint from Michael Cohen’s banker Gary Farro and attorney Keith Davidson, who previously represented Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougall – two women who allegedly had affairs with Mr Trump.
The former president is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records to allegedly cover up a hush money payment
