Trump attorneys were denied Wednesday when they asked for an immediate and direct verdict in the Trump Organization civil trial following testimony from ex-attorney Michael Cohen. Cohen admitted during testimony that the former president did not ask him to inflate his finances on a personal financial statement.
During a second day on the stand, Cohen, Trump’s one-time friend, lawyer, and someone who once famously said he’d 'take a bullet' for his client, was asked directly whether Trump asked him to inflate his finances on personal financial statements. 'Trump didn’t ask you to inflate the numbers on his personal statement, correct?' Trump attorney Clifford Roberts asked. 'Correct,' Cohen replied.
Meanwhile, as the court proceedings went on Wednesday, the former president was able to react to the House speaker race in the hallway, praising House Republicans for electing Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., to replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., after weeks of GOP gridlock. 'I just want to congratulate Mike Johnson. He will be a great speaker of the House and we were very happy to help,' Trump said in the hallway of the court.
