In a dramatic courtroom showdown, Michael Cohen testified that he was instructed by Donald Trump to arbitrarily inflate the value of his assets. Cohen, Trump's former fixer-turned-adversary, testified in New York as a key witness in a lawsuit brought by the state's attorney general, Letitia James, alleging that Trump and his company deceived banks and insurers by providing inflated financial statements. Cohen claimed that he and former Trump Organization finance chief Allen Weisselberg worked to increase the value of various asset classes based on Trump's instructions. When asked what number they were aiming for, Cohen replied, "Whatever number Trump told us to." Trump, who denies the allegations, dismissed Cohen's testimony as that of a "proven liar." The highly anticipated testimony marked the first time in five years that Cohen and Trump came face-to-face. The trial continues to unfold as Cohen faces cross-examination in court.
