Former President Trump complained about a recording played during his hush money trial. On Truth Social, he said the tape was cut off too soon, missing something positive he was about to say.
During the trial, a recording from 2016 showed Trump talking to Michael Cohen about paying off a woman to keep quiet about an alleged affair. Trump asks about the cost and payment method, preferring cash over a check.
A forensic analyst noted the recording ended abruptly, possibly due to an incoming call. However, there’s no record of that call.
Cohen, once Trump’s lawyer, is now testifying against him. Trump’s defense argues Cohen isn’t trustworthy.
Trump faces charges related to falsifying business records, including a payment to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair. He denies the charges.
