Today’s negotiations in the trial on accounting violations against Donald Trump have begun, US media reports.
Michael Cohen, who for over a decade served as Trump’s personal fixer and sidekick, is in court in New York to testify against Trump.
The presidential aspirant is accused of ordering payments to people who threatened to leak sensitive information about him during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump denies any crime, has called the prosecution “political persecution”.
