Former President Donald Trump appeared to respond to claims made by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, during an appearance outside Manhattan criminal court in New York on Tuesday morning.

Mr. Cohen testified as a witness in the so-called “hush-money” case in which prosecutors have accused the former president of falsifying business records at the end of the 2016 election. The former president has pleaded not guilty.
