In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the cross-examination of former President Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, during Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial. Has Trump’s legal team effectively undermined Cohen’s credibility? And how did prosecutors attempt to reaffirm their case on redirect? 

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further discuss Cohen’s testimony. They also break down the dramatic testimony by Robert Costello, a lawyer who once advised Cohen, and preview next week’s closing arguments.
