Trump has been charged with 34 state counts related to falsifying business records, which prosecutors say were used to obscure the payments to Daniels. On Monday, Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen, a star witness in the case, will take the stand. Madeleine Westerhout, Trump’s former executive assistant in the White House, returned to the stand Friday morning, after beginning her testimony on Thursday. And a paralegal from the prosecutor's office authenticated payment records made to Cohen from the former president’s personal checking account and revocable trust. Westerhout also testified to not having first-hand knowledge of Trump’s real-time response to the Access Hollywood tape.
