Trump smirks, shakes head when Cohen explains why he taped hush money conversation
By Ben Kochman and Kyle Schnitzer
Trump cracked a smirk and shook his head after Cohen claimed he recorded their Sept. 6, 2016 phone conversation -- in which they discussed a $150,000 hush money payment to Karen McDougal -- in order to reassure David Pecker that he'd be paid back for fronting McDougal the payout.
"It was so I could show it to David Pecker and that way he would hear the conversation, that he would know that we’re going to be paid, Mr. Trump is going to be paying him back," Cohen testified.
Trump in general seems more animated so far after returning after the mid-morning break.
