'Stuff we have never heard': Ex-prosecutor says next Trump witness may drop a bomb
Donald Trump's former attorney might drop a bombshell when he testifies in the former president's ongoing criminal hush money cover-up case in New York, a former prosecutor said on Sunday.
Former federal prosecutor Gene Rossi appeared on CNN over the weekend, where he was asked about Michael Cohen's upcoming testimony in Trump's criminal trial. Trump stands accused of paying off adult film star Stormy Daniels to influence the election, and then covering it up in his business records, but the ex-president has pleaded not guilty to all 32 charges.
"Can they be surprised by new documentation or invoices?" the host asked.

"I don't think there are any new documents that they're going to provide," he said, with a caveat. "But I will say this: when a witness is meeting with the prosecutor and provides inculpatory evidence against the defendant, the prosecutor doesn't have a duty to turn that over or disclose it."
That being said, he noted, "if there's evidence said that goes to their credibility, yes."
"So we don't know exactly what he has said, Mr. Cohen, in all of his debriefings. He may be coming out with stuff that we have never heard heard of, conversations that we didn't know about."
