Michael Cohen, who was dubbed Trump's"fixer," testified for a third day in the former president's hush money trial Thursday.
Trump's legal team began their questioning of Trump's former lawyer Tuesday afternoon after prosecutors had their turn on Monday and early Tuesday. The trial took its usual Wednesday hiatus. When questioning resumed on Thursday, the defense attacked Cohen for telling lies, and that was the bulk of the proceedings throughout the day. Trump attorney Todd Blanche noted numerous instances that Cohen admitted to lying, both under oath and in public statements. In November 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress.
Earlier in 2018, Cohen pleaded guilty to charges of campaign finance fraud, tax fraud and misrepresentation liabilities for a loan.What's next for the Trump trial?

Trump's lawyers had originally planned to finish questioning Cohen on Thursday, but it didn’t go completely to schedule. Now, there will be a three-day break for Trump to attend his son's graduation, with the intention for the defense to finish Cohen's cross-examination on Monday morning.
