Michael Cohen said he lied on Trump’s behalf

Donald Trump‘s former fixer Michael Cohen awaits what promises to be a bruising cross-examination from the Republican presidential candidate’s lawyers on Tuesday after testifying for about nine hours over two days that Trump was intimately involved in a hush-money plot to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels.

Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness at Trump’s criminal trial, told jurors on Tuesday about a 2017 Oval Office meeting where the newly elected Trump confirmed a plan to reimburse Cohen secretly for paying Daniels to keep quiet about a 2006 sexual encounter she says she had with Trump. Cohen also acknowledged lying on multiple occasions but emphasized that he did so out of loyalty to his boss, as prosecutors sought to pre-empt any defense attack on Cohen’s credibility.

The change would save the state bar up to $4.2 million annually in bar administration costs, according to a staff memo outlining the proposal reviewed by Reuters. Read more.

In forced labor class action, how these pro bono lawyers netted a settlement for Filipino workers

What does it mean to force someone to work? A class action on behalf of people from the Philippines who say they were lured to Clinton, Oklahoma, (population 8,500) on temporary visas with false promises of well-paying jobs in the hospitality industry hinged on that question.
