Former President Donald Trump will be back in a New York City courtroom Tuesday as his business records trial resumes.
Prosecutors are tipped to pick up questioning of ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s banker Gary Farro as proceedings get underway again in Manhattan at 9:30 a.m. Farro, a former senior managing director of the now defunct First Republic Bank, was briefly on the witness stand Friday when court was adjourned until Tuesday.His required attendance in court is limiting the 77-year-old’s time on the campaign trail ahead of his likely election rematch with President Joe Biden in the 2024 race for the White House.
The Republican is accused of falsifying business records to reimburse Cohen for the $130,000 sent to porn star Stormy Daniels just days ahead of the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton. Daniels, 45, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was threatening at the time to go public with her story about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump that could have potentially derailed his White House campaign.He claims it is a “witch hunt” brought by Democrats to torpedo the ex-president’s bid to recapture the White House in November.
