The ex-president’s legal troubles are ramping up – as former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis agreed to give evidence against Mr Trump if called upon in relation to attempts to overturn the 2020 election
The testimony came during the fourth week of a trial in New York state court in Manhattan stemming from a lawsuit brought against Mr Trump and his family company, which alleges he defrauded banks by inflating the value of his properties. In an apparent effort to head off expected attacks by Mr Trump’s lawyers on Cohen’s credibility, Colleen Faherty, a lawyer for the attorney general’s office, began her questioning of Cohen by reviewing his criminal history.
The former president has occasionally appeared in court over the past month, complaining in inflammatory remarks to reporters that it is a distraction from his election campaign. Ellis, the fourth defendant in the case to enter into a plea deal with prosecutors, was a vocal part of Mr Trump’s re-election campaign in the last presidential cycle and was charged alongside the Republican former president and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law.
