Trump Trials: Cohen Drama, Gag Orders, and Denials
Former President Donald Trump had a dramatic week in court as his former lawyer Michael Cohen testified in his civil fraud trial, alleging that he and Allen Weisselberg inflated Trump's net worth. Cohen's credibility was questioned, but he later clarified his statements. Trump was fined for violating a gag order and accused the judge of partisanship. Jenna Ellis, another former attorney, pleaded guilty in the Georgia election interference case. Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, was granted immunity and reportedly told investigators that he believed Trump was being dishonest about the 2020 election. The Department of Justice requested a gag order on Trump, and the judge is considering reimposing it.
