Cohen, a former Trump lawyer and onetime loyal ally, is set to testify against the former president in a civil trial that threatens Trump's business empire.
Michael Cohen arrives for former President Donald Trump's civil business fraud trial at New York Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Cohen is at the New York County Supreme Court to testify in a civil trial alleging the former president inflated the value of his assets to land better business deals and tax benefits. "Mr. Trump is a cheat," Cohen said before lawmakers."It was my experience that Mr. Trump inflated his total assets when it served his purposes, such as trying to be listed amongst the wealthiest people in Forbes, and deflated his assets to reduce his real estate taxes."
Cohen also spoke to reporters ahead of Tuesday's proceedings."This is not about Donald Trump vs. Michael Cohen or Michael Cohen vs. Donald Trump. This is about accountability, plain and simple, and we leave it up to Judge Engoron to make all the determinations on that."
