Lawyer says there is ‘substantial documentation’ to back up Cohen’s testimony

“And so the answer is substantial documentation,” Davis said on “State of the Union.”

The indictment of Trump has been announced but not unsealed, so it is not known if the case against him goes beyond the Daniels accusations to ones involving McDougal — or anyone else for that matter.

Cohen, Trump’s former fixer, has claimed he made the payments to Daniels at Trump’s behest ahead of the 2016 election. But for those hoping for Trump’s conviction, there’s concern over Cohen’s credibility as a witness. The former president’s former lawyer pled guilty to lying to Congress during hearings in 2017, as well as tax evasion charges and campaign-finance violations.

Cohen’s lawyer said Sunday that Cohen’s testimony in this case is backed by documentation from both Cohen and others involved in the case.

Though Davis acknowledged that Cohen had previously lied publicly, “the credibility between him and the jury in that courtroom is going to be based on corroborating evidence,” he said.
