Michael Cohen, a disgraced former prosecutor, was accused by former president Donald Trump’s defence on Thursday of fabricating a phone call he claimed was related to a settlement to Stormy Daniels.
During mix- assessment of Cohen in Trump’s company records test, one of Trump’s defense attorneys, Todd Blanche, pressed Cohen about the call, which occurred only after 8: 00 p. m. that autumn evening and was to Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, reports say. Cohen claimed to have spoken with Trump on the phone regarding a payment to Daniels, according to The Hill. Bounch allegedly suggested that he get in touch with Schiller about harassing him because he had a teen joker calling.
According to The New York Times, Blanche made the implication that it was absurd that Michael Cohen may have talked to Trump about the hush-money repayment while simultaneously reporting a prank to Keith Schiller.
Trump’s prosecutor Blanche: Present this to the jury but not to the court
Justice Merchan: We can do that.
Prosecutor: It has statistics on it.
Blanche: Not to the courtroom… At 8: 14 am you texted Keith Schiller the amount that had been harassing you.
Cohen: Yes.— Inner City Press ( @innercitypress ) May 16, 2024
The Inner City Press’s Matthew Russell Lee reports , the visit lasted less than two hours, with more details of the trade:
Blanche turned the dial up a quarter of an hour. He convinced Cohen to recognize or recall that Cohen had been receiving harassing calls for three days and that the harasser had forgotten to stop their range, depending on one’s perspective or perhaps just.
 , Cohen texted the variety, that he would be turning it over to the Secret Service. He said he learned, or was told, that it was a 14 year- older. And therefore he texted Keith Schiller, asking him to work on it.
According to Lee’s comments, the visit occurred between Cohen’s and Cohen’s texts to Schiller regarding the harassing calls. The first word was at 7: 48 p. m., and the next was at 8: 14 p. m. The Daily Caller’s Katelynn Richardson reported from the court that Schiller “left a voice at 8: 01” and followed up “text me” at 8: 02 p. m. The disgraced former prosecutor finally called him at 8: 02.
Blanche: You did not talk to President Trump on that day. You talked to Keith Schiller.
Cohen: I’m never sure that’s appropriate.
Blanche: Now you’re saying you’re no certain it was correct?
Cohen: I believe that I also spoke to Mr. Trump.

” You lied about this. You claimed that you did n’t recall the harassing phone calls, but now you assert that you mentioned Stormy Daniels and the harasser in the one-minute and 36-second call, according to Lee.
Trump’s attorney Blanche: You are lying.
Cohen: Based on the data I think I spoke about both.
Blanche: We are never asking for your idea. This judge is not interested in learning what transpired.
Prosecutor: Objection!
Justice Merchan: Prolonged.— Inner City Press ( @innercitypress ) May 16, 2024
Trump’s attorney Blanche: The person’s table omitted your writings with Keith Schiller– you claim you were telling the truth on Tuesday?
Cohen: Based on the paperwork.
Blanche: So you testified off records the Folks gave me, and not your own memory?— Inner City Press ( @innercitypress ) May 16, 2024
Cohen, whose , TikTok streams regarding the prosecution and Trump were at the centre of mix- examination on Tuesday, claimed that the call could have been about both Daniels and the 14- year- ancient harasser.
