Former President Donald Trump is poised to make a dramatic comeback to lower Manhattan next week, where he’ll face his high-stakes fraud trial. The trial is set to become a riveting courtroom spectacle, featuring his former lawyer turned nemesis, Michael Cohen, who is expected to take the stand as the star cooperating witness for New York State Attorney General Letitia James.
The Much-Anticipated Return
Sources with knowledge of Trump’s security arrangements have revealed that he is scheduled to appear at the 60 Centre St. courthouse on Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly Thursday, as per Law360 insiders. During these days, Cohen, the former president’s ex-fix-it man, is lined up to testify.
“It’s been five long years since we’ve seen one another,” Cohen remarked upon hearing the news. “Assuming I am even on to testify next week, I look forward to the reunion. I hope Donald does as well.”
Cohen’s testimony is expected to delve into meetings with Trump and former Trump Organization Chief Financial Officer, Allen Weisselberg, concerning the alleged inflated financial statements.
