AdvertisementIn 2015, Trump told Cohen he would run for president.
When Cohen told Trump about it, his response was, "She's really beautiful," Cohen said.
According to Cohen, Trump's goal was to postpone the payment until after the November 2016 election, at which point he didn't think it would matter.
"I used quite a few expletives," complaining to Weisselberg, Cohen told jurors.
