Cohen says he recorded people without them knowing
Cohen testified during the cross examination that he recorded people without them knowing, many of them journalists.
He noted that it was not illegal for him to record others in a conversation, adding that New York is a one-party consent state.
He said he recorded 40 separate conversations with journalists. Some of the people he recorded included Jeff Zucker and Trump, he testified.
He confirmed there were 95 “secret recordings” stored on his phone when asked by Blanche.

Trump attorney questions how Cohen can recall years-old calls
Trump attorney Todd Blanche has repeatedly questioned Cohen about how he can vividly remember certain phone conversations during the hush money negotiations in 2016.
“You have a specific recollection of that phone call on June 16, 2016?” Blanche asked at one point, sounding skeptical.
Earlier, Blanche had noted that Cohen answered “I don’t recall” about certain more recent events.
Cohen rebutted the accusation by noting he has been publicly discussing certain matters related to the case for years.
