Jury Hears Audio of Trump Talking about ‘Hush Money’

New York Times: “To recap, the jury just heard a very important recording, made by Michael Cohen during the 2016 campaign and extracted from his phone. On the recording, Trump discussed a hush-money payment with Cohen, asking him specifically about the financing of the deal. The payment in question went to Karen McDougal, not Stormy Daniels. Still, the jurors now heard clearly how Cohen reported his dealings to Trump, and that Trump was involved in one of the deals they’ve heard so much about.”

“The defense has done its best to distance Trump from the hush-money deals, particularly during Keith Davidson’s cross-examination. But primary source evidence is hard to wave away. That recording, from Cohen’s phone, was a doozy.”
