the court will hear evidence from trump's former fixer, now sworn enemy, michael cohen. he'll describe making that payment on mr trump's instructions. the defence will brand him an admitted liar and convicted criminal, who's now obsessed with his former boss. mr cohen was earlier involved in paying off a playboy model, karen mcdougal, who also said she'd had an affair with donald trump. he even recorded a conversation with mr trump about that deal, which the prosecution will use to show a pattern of behaviour. it will be a dramatic moment when michael cohen gives evidence as the prosecution's star witness, and there may be some rather more salacious testimony as well. donald trump's lawyers believe stormy daniels herself will be called to the stand. the first witness was david pecker, from the national enquirer magazine, who the prosecution claim conspired with donald trump to stop harmful stories being published that could damage his presidential campaign. donald trump will be back in court tomorrow in a case that's expected to last around six weeks. sarah smith, bbc ne
