Michael Cohen leaves for a break during the civil business fraud trial of former President Donald Trump at New York Supreme Court, Tuesday, Oct. 24, 2023, in New York. During his first day of testimony Tuesday, Cohen said he and key executives at Trump's company worked to inflate the estimated values of his holdings so that documents given to banks and others would match a net worth that Trump had set “arbitrarily.
Since his legal problems started in 2018, Cohen has been a Trump foe. The two men hadn't been in a room together in five years until Tuesday's court session.Outside the courtroom after Tuesday's court session, Trump dismissed Cohen as a “disgraced felon."
