this guy, michael collins about michael cohen. he said earlier, i think in today's testimony from what we saw on the screen, he was hoping to monetize his role as the president's attorney i mean, i think blanche will have him on the stand for days and collins got an allergy to veracity. so it's going to be an interesting cross. >> one of the things that they're trying to establish here is that the money was actually he was paid in excess of $130,000 because it gets getting into the weeds a little bit but if they they did it as an untaxed expense reimbursement, then he would it would be less money than if he took it as income because reimbursements were not grossed up any in any case, they've already lost me, but that's why that's why i have an accountant. this all comes after cohen failed to pay stormy daniels by in the first agreed upon deadline? yeah. >> and what it looked like stormy daniel's might take her story somewhere else. cohen says, trump told him, quote he stated to me that he had spoken to some friends, some individua

cohen lies a lot and lied a lot michael cohen has prior convictions and michael cohen has a bias against the former president, like those things were all pretty well-establishe d and laid out. i think the most effective moment today, by far was playing the sound of michael cohen this podcast for the jury. they hadn't heard him sounding incredibly shrill and incredibly pointed about the former president in a way that this measured witness on stage who's done quite a good job, sort of keeping his cool. i think they haven't heard or seen that and far more than the particulars of any one lie he's told i think that was the moment that people thought, wait, wait a second. who is this guy that we've been hearing all this stuff about? >> how are we in the middle of talking about this 14-year-old business? elie, and how problematic is that for the prosecution? in this matters a lot, don't don't be distracted by the funny fact that michael cohen is getting into a war of texts with a 14-year-old, which is funny. >> but here's why it's really relevant part of this cross-examination was completely ex
