He admitted to the New York Times in 2018 that he paid Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, $130,000 out of his own pocket to silence her after she allegedly had an affair with Trump.
He also admitted to purchasing the rights to a negative story about Trump from the tabloid The National Inquirer about former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claimed she and Trump had an affair from 2006 to 2007 Had an affair.
Cohen pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about securing Russian government support for a proposed Trump Tower in Moscow during the 2016 presidential election. He was then disqualified from practicing law in New York.
He admitted making false statements to obstruct US investigations into the matter.
In court today, a New York judge rejected Donald Trump's attempt to dismiss the hush money case against Stormy Daniels and set a trial date for March 25 in a blockbuster hearing.
He scowled at the crowded courtroom as he walked to the front and leaned back in his chair as Judge Juan Merchan denied his request to dismiss the case.
As he entered the building surrounded by police officers, Trump insisted “there is no case” and said New York should focus on violent crime and the influx of migrants rather than “made-up crimes.”
He pounced on the “dirty” and “crime-rich” Big Apple, claiming President Joe Biden was targeting him because he was ahead in the polls and insisting there was “no crime” even if “I “I’m guilty.”
Trump has also been outspoken about how he wants to delay the trial before the general election, saying it is the latest “intervention plan” by his opponents.
“We obviously want delays.” “I'm running for election again,” he defiantly told reporters before entering court.

Trump's former personal lawyer announced in November that he feared that if he were re-elected, the ex-president would exact terrible revenge “on everyone who wronged him.”
Cohen, 57, told Good Morning Britain that he fears for both his safety and his life and is currently considering leaving the US if Trump is re-elected president.
“You don’t know Donald Trump.” I do. Don't listen to my words. Listen to his words. He will take revenge on everyone who has wronged him.
“There are a lot of people on this list.” It’s not just me. They are judges, they are lawyers, they are citizens. They are prosecutors. They are members of Congress.
“He will take revenge on anyone and everyone he is capable of.”

“I want him to be held accountable, but I have grave concerns that if Donald Trump is actually incarcerated in an institution, he would sell or give away national security secrets for a bag of tuna or a book of stamps.”
“My greater concern is the safety and security of America.”
“So let him be exposed to a very serious domestic violence situation.” But to put him in an institution, remember: for four years he was briefed on national security issues every day.
“I care more about America than seeing Donald Trump behind bars.”
The verdicts came after Cohen and Trump feuded for years in the press and feuded publicly.
Trump has repeatedly called Cohen a “thug,” a “rat” and a “liar.” Meanwhile, Cohen once claimed that if people want to get under the former president's skin, “it's not by saying that he's a narcissistic sociopath or that he's definitely not 6 feet tall and that he's not 220 pounds.” weighs”, but that they are after the wallet.
