New York | Donald Trump’s lawyers accused the prosecution’s star witness in his hush money trial of lying to jurors, portraying Mr Trump’s fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen on Thursday (Friday AEST) as a serial fabulist, bent on seeing the Republican nominee behind bars.

As Mr Trump looked on, defence lawyer Todd Blanche pressed Mr Cohen for hours with questions that focused as much on his misdeeds as on the case’s specific allegations and tried to sow doubt in jurors’ minds about Mr Cohen’s crucial testimony implicating the former president.
