Trump Returns To Civil Fraud Trial

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has returned to the Manhattan civil fraud trial that threatens to upend his real estate empire. But he won’t be seeing his lawyer-turned-foe Michael Cohen on the witness stand — at least not yet. Cohen, citing a health problem, has postponed his testimony as a key witness in New York Attorney General Letitia James’ case at least until next week. Cohen said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he isn’t dodging Trump. Instead of Cohen, Trump’s courtroom visit on Tuesday is likely to overlap with the resumption of testimony from his company’s assistant controller, Donna Kidder. Trump denies any wrongdoing.
