Michael Cohen is expected to testify Monday before a grand jury in New York that is hearing evidence of former President Donald Trump's alleged role in a hush payment to Stormy Daniels, sources familiar with the matter told ABC.
Cohen, Trump's former personal lawyer, paid $130,000 to the adult film star in the closing days of the 2016 campaign to keep her quiet about an affair she claimed to have had with Trump. Trump has denied the affair.
The district attorney's office recently informed Trump of his right to testify before the grand jury, sources have previously told ABC News. New York law requires so-called "cross notice" so potential defendants are afforded a chance to tell the grand jury their side of the story but the invitation is typically only extended if prosecutors are planning to move forward with an indictment.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has previously won the tax fraud convictions of Trump's company and its former finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, but Trump himself has never been charged with a crime. The Trump Organization said it would appeal the conviction.
