Regardless of the break, the Trump hush money trial is near its end – and roughly a week away from being in the hands of the jury. Cohen was the key witness, spending more than 17 hours on the witness stand over four days before wrapping up on Monday. The defense first called a paralegal to introduce call records between Cohen and Costello, before Costello took the stand. “My life was on the line, my liberty, and here I’m just a non-party subpoenaed witness,” Cohen said. Cohen testified that records “helped to refresh my memory,” about when he spoke to Trump about Daniels.
