Trump, who is balancing the demands of a felony trial with his third run for the White House, has been prohibited by a judge’s gag order from criticizing witnesses and already fined for violating the restrictions.
Cohen on the witness stand
Donald Trump was intimately involved with all aspects of a scheme to stifle stories about sex that threatened to torpedo his 2016 campaign, Michael Cohen said.
In hours of highly anticipated testimony, Cohen placed Trump at the center of the hush money plot, saying the then-candidate had promised to reimburse the lawyer for the money he fronted and was constantly updated about behind-the-scenes efforts to bury stories feared to be harmful to the campaign.

AP Race Call: Republican Mike Kehoe wins election for governor in Missouri
Republican Mike Kehoe defeated Democrat Crystal Quade to win the Missouri governor’s race on Friday. Kehoe is Missouri’s lieutenant governor. Quade is the state House minority leader. Kehoe will succeed GOP Gov. Mike Parson, who was barred by term limits from seeking reelection. Kehoe was favored to win the heavily Republican state, but Quade and other Democrats had hoped to get an edge this year with an abortion rights amendment on the ballot. Kehoe opposes the amendment. Parson handpicked Kehoe to be second in command in 2018, when Parson left his seat as lieutenant governor to become governor. The Associated Press declared Kehoe the winner at 8:26 a.m. EDT.

That’s in keeping with Smith’s wins over the last several cycles; he ran unopposed in the 2016 election and won the next three elections with nearly 80% of the vote. Smith is considered one of the most conservative members of Congress and represents one of the country’s most consertative congressional districts. The Associated Press declared Smith the winner at 6:16 p.m. EDT.

Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska won election Thursday to the seat he was appointed to nearly two years ago. Ricketts, a former two-term governor for Nebraska, defeated Democratic challenger Preston Love Jr., an 81-year-old longtime community activist in Omaha. Love had painted Ricketts -- one of the wealthiest members of the U.S. Senate -- as privileged and out-of-touch with most voters. But Ricketts easily prevailed in the heavily conservative state. Ricketts will serve out the remaining two years of the six-year term left vacant by former Republican Sen. Ben Sasse, who resigned in 2022. The Associated Press declared Ricketts the winner at 6:16 p.m. EDT.
