Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz dismissed the testimony given by Michael Cohen in former President Donald Trump’s New York trial, saying that a key witness who could counter the testimony has not been called to testify.

President Trump is facing 34 counts in the New York trial for allegedly falsifying business records to divert funds to former lawyer Mr. Cohen.
