Cohen, getting their chance to suggest holes in his account of a $130,000 hush-money payment and to chip at the credibility and composure of a historically combative New Yorker,” the New York Times reports.
“In even-keeled testimony on Monday about his payout to a porn star, Mr. Cohen explained that Mr. Trump had directed him to make the payment and had then signed off on a plan to reimburse him.”
