The prosecution rests. Now its Donald Trumps turn. Do you plan to testify . Tonight the bombshell moment in the socalled hush money trial. Michael cohen admits to stealing tens of thousands of dollars from the Trump Organization. They have no case. They have no crime. What does the revelation from the star witness mean for the states case . Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Tonight, a dramatic day in court. Good evening. Im Norah Odonnell and thank you for joining us. The first ever criminal trial of a former american president is nearing an end. Late today, the prosecution has rested, and now Donald Trumps legal team has the case. Closing arguments could begin in about a week, and then the former president s fate will be in the hands of a jury. Witnesses on the stand today made for what some experts are describing as a wild day. Michael cohen, trumps former fixer, admitted under oath to stealing money from the Trump Organization during an intense crossexamination. And then fireworks during testimony of a defense witness that led to the judge clearing the courtroom and reprimanding the witness for rolling his eyes and making comments under his breath. Well, theres still one big question tonight. Will donald trump take the stand in his own defense . Heres cbss robert costa, who was inside the courthouse. Reporter Michael Cohen has challenged, and then came todays admission that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from donald trump and his company. Cohen testified that in 2017, the Trump Organization owed a Technology Company 50,000 and that he paid them about 20,000 in cash in a brown paper bag but kept the rest. You stole from the Trump Organization, right . Asked trump attorney todd blanche. Yes, sir, cohen said. Michael cohen has admitted to stealing from the Trump Organization. Does it matter for this case . It may matter a lot to some juror, and it may matter not at all to others. Michael cohen is such a proven liar that why would it surprise us that hes also a thief . Reporter cohen defended his actions, saying he was angry his bonus had been cut and felt he was owed the money. I just felt like it was almost selfhelp, he said. Cohen is the sole witness to directly link trump to the hush money payments made to adult film star stormy daniels, which are at the heart of the case. Trump has been charged with falsifying Business Records to conceal the transactions. They paid a legal expense, and they marked it legal expense. Reporter blanche cast cohen as someone who used trumps name to enrich himself, earning about 4 million from books and podcasts and even discussing a tv show about himself called the fixer. I have fixed things, but i am no longer your fixer, mr. Trump. Reporter with the defense repeatedly calling cohens credibility into question, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger reminded the jury that Michael Cohen isnt the defendant. Are you actually on trial here in this case . She asked. Cohens answer, no. Late today, trump lawyer todd blanche moved to dismiss the entire case, and sources close to trumps legal team tell me they dont expect trump at this point to take the stand. They see too many potential vulnerabilities should he ever get up there as a witness. Norah. Robert costa, thank you very much. Now to some breaking news out of the white house. President biden not holding back, sharply criticizing the request for an arrest warrant for israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu from an International Criminal court prosecutor. But let me be clear. Contrary to allegations against israel made by the International Court of justice, whats happening is not genocide. We reject that. [ applause ] cbss imtiaz tyab has more now from east jerusalem. No foot soldier, no commander, no civilian leader, no one can act with impunity. Reporter the iccs chief prosecutor, karim khan, making it clear that hamas october 7th attack and israels response to it allegedly breached International Rules of war. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, named alongside defense minister yoav gallant for allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity, responded with fury. What a travesty of justice. What a disgrace. Reporter the potential arrest warrant comes as netanyahu is under growing political pressure at home. Still, reaction at this demonstration to the potential of an arrest warrant for a Prime Minister many here want out of power was mixed. You think that mr. Netanyahu should be tried at the hague . Yes. And gallant too. Whats your reaction to this . Theres no way you can compare hamas and hamas leaders to anything our leaders have done. Reporter three of hamas senior leaders, yahya sinwar, mohammed deif, and Ismael Haniyeh may also face icc arrest warrants for crimes including extermination, murder, hospital t hostagetaking, rape, and Sexual Violence and torture. Neither the u. S. Nor israel recognize the iccs authority, but just like Vladimir Putin for his actions in ukraine, netanyahu could have a warrant out for his arrest in more than 100 countries. But it could take up to two months for any potential arrest warrants to be issued as the court now has to decide not only whether to do so, but also if the case against the leaders of israel and hamas can proceed. Norah. Imtiaz tyab, thank you very much. The israelhamas war is a big issue on the campaign trail as President Biden saw firsthand in the crucial battleground state of georgia, where he gave a commencement address at morehouse college. Bo
