Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former lawyer, delivered highly anticipated testimony in the former president's civil fraud trial.

Eric Trump, who is seated in the front row of the gallery and has attended much of the trial, repeatedly shook his head in disgust during Cohen’s testimony about him and his siblings.After retaking the witness stand following the lunch break, Cohen said Trump directed him and Weisselberg to greatly inflate his assets.

Trump, asked during the break how it felt to see Cohen, said,"Well I hadn’t seen him in years. You know his record, his record is a horrible one."Before the break, Cohen said Trump would come up with his own net worth estimations, and it was up to him and former Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg to make the numbers work.

"You just kicked them to the curb?" Suarez asked."No, we didn't kick them to the curb," Kelly said, adding the company had done its own investigation into the allegations.There was a pause in the testimony so that the court personnel could change the microphone at the podium used to examine witnesses due to the ongoing Covid concerns. Technicians and attorneys scrambled to clean the mic used by prosecutors as there wasn't another mic available for the defense lawyers.

Louis Solomon from the AG's office, who's wearing a mask, said the microphone was provided by the AG's office and that Trump's team — who are not wearing masks — are free to bring their own.Trump attorney Chris Kise told Judge Arthur Engoron that he objects to the trial proceeding on Tuesday despite multiple members from the AG's legal team apparently testing positive for Covid.

"He’s a proven liar, as you know, a felon, served a lot of time for lying and we’re going to just go in and see that and I think you’ll see that for yourself," he said."So he’s a liar and trying to get a better deal for himself but it’s not going to work this case by any other judge, this case would have been over a long time ago. We did nothing wrong and that’s the truth.
