    Popcorn is out, I’m ready.

    So far,

    • Trump calls Cohen a proven liar
    • Trump and attorneys want trial delayed because of Covid but no one is wearing masks on his team. Judge notices irony and says there are free ones for them to use.
    • They’re badgering the witnesses

    Edit: Michael Cohen just took the stand.

    Edit 2: Cohen said he reversed engineered the amount Trump wanted to make along with Weisenberg (sp?). He also only took orders from Trump, there was no one else to tell him to do stuff.

    Edit 3: I wish this was live:

    “I think this is arguably false, particularly the eight billion dollars … and this shows a pattern of practice of fraud,” Judge Engoron said when overruling the objection.


    When Habba asked if Cohen lied to his wife about evading taxes, Cohen responded by saying “objection” and attempting to cite legal precedent.

    “You can’t object. It’s a yes or no question,” Habba said.

    “He is a serial liar, and he lied to his wife,” defense lawyer Chris Kise told the judge about why the question is relevant. He later added, “This witness is completely out of control.”
