[Michael Cohen @MichaelCohen212]

The first apology in a long line of lies about me by media outlets. @OANN

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

Hoffinger wants the jury to hear about Cohen's punishment and rehabilitation:

Cohen says he spent 13 months in prison, cut short as a result of COVID and Cohen's co-morbidities, then at some point was sent back to prison.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

HOFFINGER: Did you tell the Mueller Investigation the truth about your 2017 Congressional testimony?

COHEN: I did not, because I was still holding onto the loyalty to President Trump.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

HOFFINGER: What was it like the day you pleaded guilty?

"Worst day of my life," Cohen says hoarsely.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

Q: Did you also plead guilty to evasion of personal income tax 2012-16?
A: I did.
Q: And 1 count of making false statements to a financial institution?
A: I did.
Q: Were those in any way related to Mr. Trump?
A: No ma'am.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

At whose direction?

"At the direction of Donald J. Trump."

And for whose benefit?

"For the benefit of Donald J. Trump."

Merchan now gives instructions re: testimony that Cohen pleaded guilty to a FECA violation.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

HOFFINGER: On whose direction and whose behalf did you commit that crime?

COHEN: On Mr. Trump's behalf.

[Tyler McBrien @TylerMcBrien]

Did you pay the money to Stormy Daniels in order to influence the election for Trump?
Objection—sustained.

Why did you pay it?

"To ensure the story would not come out, would not affect Mr. Trump's chances of becoming president of United States," Cohen replies.

[Gregory Minchak @gminchak]

Trump's doing the same thing with the court he did with certifying the vote in 2020. He's creating a media circus to undermine the impact of a guilty decision. He's destroying the rule of law and Mike Johnson and the MAGA sycophants who are attending court are helping him do it.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

The grift. So much of this is about the grift.

[Gary Grumbach @GaryGrumbach]

BREAKING: In a sidebar meeting, which we just received the transcript of, prosecutors say Michael Cohen will be their final witness in the Trump hush money trial.

@NBCNews

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Mike Johnson never even went in the courtroom. He was just there for the theater. What a clown.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

The Speaker of the House of Representatives using the powers of his federal office to influence a local criminal case. Tell me again the Republican Party is the party of limited government. Tell me again the Republican Party is the party of law and order. Tell me again.

[Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1]

From @jonathanvswan on NYT live blog: "Trump’s lawyers seem on edge through this part of Cohen’s testimony. Todd Blanche and Emil Bove appear to pass a note. Trump, however, is very much not on edge. His eyes are closed and he appears to be dozing peacefully."

[Gabe Hoffman @GabeHoff]

Tesla weekly China sales were significantly lower than expected by the most accurate Tesla analyst for sales @TroyTeslike, and his Q2 estimate is well below the Street, rendering the result especially poor https://t.co/Ba9FqFjlnU

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

There's a reason she's lost every case and was sanctioned nearly $1 million.

[erica orden @eorden]

With Blanche several minutes into his cross-examination of Cohen, Trump is slouched in his seat, his eyes seemingly closed and his mouth slack.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

COHEN recalling all his positive statements about Trump: "At that time, I was knee-deep in the cult of Donald Trump."

[erica orden @eorden]

During Blanche's cross of Cohen, one of the most important parts of the trial, Trump appeared to be sleeping in his seat.

His lawyer Susan Necheles had to move over to the seat next to him in order to rouse him. https://t.co/U00ACILeAD

[Oversight Dems @OversightDems]

NEW: RM @RepRaskin is demanding answers from Big Oil CEOs following reports of quid pro quo propositions made by former President Trump to dismantle fossil fuel regulations in exchange for $1 billion in contributions to his campaign. https://t.co/u71YiUySMQ
