Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen took the witness stand on May 13 as prosecutors hope to use him to make their case in the “hush-money” trial of former President Donald Trump.

When he was called to the stand, Mr. Cohen gave his personal and professional background information. Court papers say that he is testifying pursuant to a subpoena in the case.
