Prosecutors claimed Trump used lawyer Michael Cohen to cover up payments intended to hide an alleged involvement with adult film actress Stormy Daniels. They said they would tie that to a “conspiracy” to influence the 2016 election. In rebuttal, Trump’s defense lawyer [minimized all the charges,]( calling Cohen a known liar and shrugging off the conspiracy idea. “There’s nothing wrong with trying to influence an election,” said his lawyer. “It’s called democracy.” The court adjourned for the Passover holiday around noon and will return for another shortened session today.
