Michael Cohen to Testify in Trump Trial; Jury Selection Starts in Bob Menendez Corruption Trial
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Former President Donald Trump will be back in court today for the fourth
week of witness testimony in his criminal hush money and election
interference trial. Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen is set to testify
today. Meanwhile, The New York Times and Pro Publica have revealed Trump
could be forced to pay more than $100 million to the IRS for improperly
claiming tax write-offs on a Chicago skyscraper by writing off the same
losses twice.

And jury selection begins today in the corruption trial of New Jersey
Democratic Senator Bob Menendez. He is accused of taking bribes to
benefit Egypt and Qatar.
