Part 3/11:
The Crumbling Case: A Single Phone Call Under Scrutiny
At the core of the case was a supposed phone call Cohen claimed to have made to Trump's security chief, indicating that the Stormy Daniels hush money payment was resolved. This call was purportedly meant to establish Trump’s direct involvement or approval. But as the defense team drilled down, the details didn't hold up.
What surfaced was startling: the phone records contradicted Cohen's testimony, revealing that the call Cohen claimed to have made never happened. Instead, Cohen had been prank-called by a 14-year-old on the same night he claimed to have spoken to Trump’s security chief. When questioned, Cohen panicked and claimed he in fact called the Secret Service to report the prank call—turning the narrative on its head.
