NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen has testified before a Manhattan grand jury investigating hush money payments he arranged and made on the former president’s behalf. Cohen arrived at the courthouse accompanied by his lawyer shortly in advance of his closed-door testimony. He spent about three hours inside answering questions.

The former president denies having affairs with the women. Trump’s lawyer has characterized the payments as extortion.
