Norah manny bojorquez, thank you so much for that update. Turning now to the fireworks in the criminal trial of donald trump, as Defense Attorneys questioned the prosecutions star witness, Michael Cohen. Trumps lawyers repeated cohens own expletives back to him as they tried to portray the former president s personal attorney as an opportunist motivated by revenge. But cohen laid out key details in the plan to cover up the payment to an Adult Film Star ahead of the 2016 election. And that included an Oval Office Meeting where he drilled down on trumps alleged role in falsifying Business Records by claiming the Repayment Scheme was all legal expenses. Cbss robert costa was inside the courthouse today. Today we had a very, i think a very good day in court. Reporter Donald Trumps defense attorney todd blanche took direct aim at Michael Cohens credibility today, noting hes publicly attacked his former boss, from calling him a cheetodusted Cartoon Villain to selling merchandise on tiktok, including a 32 tshirt depicting trump behind bars. Addressing cohen, blanche asked, do you want President Trump to be convicted in this case . Cohen sure. The Trump Defense team is coming hard Out Of The Box at cohens credibility, his integrity, the fact that he makes no bones about having an intense dislike of donald trump. Reporter trump is under a gag order and barred from criticizing witnesses. But trumps g. O. P. Allies, including an entourage at court today, are not, including House Speaker mike johnson and two former president ial candidates. He is someone who has a history of perjury and is well known for it. No one should believe a word he says today. Reporter inside court and under questioning by prosecutor susan hoffinger, cohen testified about a 2017 Oval Office Meeting, where he and trump allegedly discussed his reimbursement for the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. Cohen, who took a picture during his visit, said trump knew the financial records would be cast as ordinary legal expenses. Hoffinger if not for the campaign, mr. Cohen, would you have paid that money to Stormy Daniels . Cohen no, maam. Hoffinger at whose direction and on whose behalf did you commit that crime . Cohen on behalf of mr. Trump. Whether the jury views Michael Cohen as a truth teller or whether they view him as just spinning another one of his lies is probably going to drive this verdict. Reporter cohen was the target of an fbi raid in 2018, part of an Investigation Into the hush money payments. He said it left him despondent and angry, but trump, he testified, offered him reassurance. Dont worry. Im the president of the united states, cohen said trump told him. It was the last time they spoke. After making a statement, speaker johnson refused to take questions, but i did ask him, would he stand with trump even if trump is convicted . He rushed off and ducked into his motorcade, underscoring how many republicans are coming here to show solidarity with trump, but few want to talk too much about the details of this trial. Norah . Norah robert costa, thank you so much. Israel targeted hamas with an intense round of strikes in gaza today, including in the south, where Hundreds Of Thousands of people are fleeing rafah.

One thing that my grandfather used to always tell me are, good things arent cheap and cheap things arent good. Reporter Dorian Jimenez owns a chevy dealership in oklahoma city. Im glad that our government is going that direction, and the more things that we can keep in house, the greater it can be for us. Reporter bidens hikes apply to far more than evs. Chinese steel and aluminum will be hit with a 25 tariff. Solar panel cells will go to 50 . And so will chinese syringes and needles. Biden finally listened to me. He listens to me. Reporter former President Donald Trump hiked tariffs on a much broader swath of chinese goods in 2018. At the time, biden argued that would spark a trade war, raising costs for everyone. We are going after the wrong thing with china. Reporter even today, reaction from around the country was mixed. Colorados democratic governor jared polis said, this is horrible news for American Consumers and a major setback for clean energy. This tax increase will hit every family. But the white house argues chinas unfair Trade Practices have been hurting manufacturing states like michigan and pennsylvania. Those happen to be swing states as well, but officials here insist these new tariffs have nothing to do with the fact that were in an election year, norah. Norah nancy cordes, thank you.
