Rachel Maddow details Michael Cohen's 'smoking gun' at Trump trial

Rachel Maddow devoted the entirety of her MSNBC show Monday night to former Trump Organization “fixer” Michael Cohen’s “smoking gun” testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial.

Comparing Cohen’s appearance in the Manhattan courtroom to the “Aha!” moment of an Agatha Christie mystery, where a character connects all of the dots for the reader, Maddow explained why Monday was so damning for Trump’s defense in the criminal case.

"It's okay you haven't been paying close attention all along,” Maddow said. “They, in this conversation, are going to recap the whole story. And not only will they get to the big answer, the big ‘whodunit,’ they will also give you the solutions to all the other little mysteries and red herrings that popped up over the course of the story. That was Michael ‘Agatha Christie’ Cohen today."

Besides casting light on the murky logistics of the fraudulent activity surrounding hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, "Michael Cohen gave testimony today that Donald Trump was in the room where it happened in the worst possible way," Maddow said.
