Michael Cohen testimony continues in Donald Trump trial

Donald Trump's one-time lawyer Michael Cohen has retaken the stand at his ex-boss's criminal trial in New York, the first of four that the former US President faces as he vies for the Oval Office again. 

Cohen says he was responsible for paying $130,000 in return for a porn star's silence. 

Prosecutors allege that was done on behalf of Mr Trump and that he falsified business records to cover-up the affair with Stormy Daniels – an attempt, they claim, to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, accusations Trump denies.
