Michael Cohen, the key witness in the case against Trump, faced questions from Trump's defense attorneys about his history of lying under oath.
Blanche asked Cohen how many phone calls he was getting per day in 2016 and 2017. After some back-of-the-envelope math, they landed on a figure of about 14,000 a year. Blanche asked Trump about a specific call with Trump from June 2016, which Cohen said he didn't remember. Trump's attorney then asked whether he remembered other calls he testified about earlier in the trial, including some that are crucial to prosecutors' case. Cohen said those calls were different.
'These phone calls are things I've been talking about for the last six years. They were, and are, extremely important and they were all-consuming,' he said. 'So while I did not know they took place at 8:02 p.m., what I did recall was the conversation that I had — not timing but rather the substance — because it was such a significant event, and because I had been telling the same story for six years.
