Attorneys agree to let Cohen introduce C-SPAN screenshot
Prosecutors’ questioning of a C-SPAN employee did not provide a strong enough foundation to allow the introduction of a critical screenshot from an Oct. 24, 2016 video showing Trump and his bodyguard, Keith Schiller, together at the time Cohen testified they were, the judge said.
The determination led to a mad dash to get the witness, who is based in Indiana, back to New York City to close out the Manhattan district attorney’s case – to which defense attorneys objected.
But, after some discussion, the parties agreed to stipulate that the screenshot did originate from a C-SPAN video, preventing the witness from having to fly in by tomorrow morning to testify.

Cohen is now under additional questioning from Trump attorney Todd Blanche.

Jurors hear Cohen’s call with Stormy Daniels lawyer
Jurors heard part of Michael Cohen’s audio recording of an October 2016 phone call with Keith Davidson, who represented Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal as they negotiated their hush money payments.
“I can’t even tell you how many times he said to me, you know, ‘I hate the fact that we did it,’” Cohen said in the recording.
On the stand, Cohen told prosecutors that he was referring to Trump.
“And my comment to him was, ‘But every person that you’ve spoken to told you it was the right move,’” Cohen continued in the recording.
