Former President Trump, addressing reporters on his way out of the courtroom, read a series of comments from supportive lawmakers.

"They view this as a scam," Trump said when asked why lawmakers including Sen. J.D. Vance, Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis joined him in court today. "I think it's a terrible thing that's happening to democracy in this country."

Trump, reading from a stack of papers, highlighted comments that included statements from Vance and Sen. Tim Scott.

"This is four weeks you're keeping me away from the campaign," Trump said.

Michael Cohen recalled then-Trump Organization CFO Weisselberg saying the monthly payments to reimburse him for the Stormy Daniels nondisclosure payment would be recorded "as a legal service render since I was going to be given the title as personal attorney to the president."

Cohen told jurors that Trump and Weisselberg were like "Frick and Frack." Regarding his meeting with the two men about the monthly reimbursement plan, Cohen surmised "this conversation had already taken place between the two."

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Cohen, "Did Mr. Trump try to renegotiate?"

"No," Cohen replied.

"He approved it at that point?" Hoffinger asked.

"Yes," Cohen responded.

A few days later, Trump left for Washington to assume the presidency.

Hoffinger concluded by asking Cohen whether the $420,000 he would receive in monthly installments was meant to be compensation for any future legal work he did for Trump.

"No," Cohen said.

Testimony then ended for the day.

Michael Cohen told jurors that then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg told him to "gross up" his requested reimbursement for the $130,000 Stormy Daniels payment to ensure that Cohen got the full amount of money spent, after taxes.

Cohen confirmed that the practice of effectively paying double for expenses was not a normal practice at the Trump Organization.

In addition to the Daniels' reimbursement, Cohen testified that he requested a $50,000 reimbursement to a company called Red Finch for tech services; however, Cohen acknowledged that he asked for more money in the reimbursement that he actually spent on the services.

"I didn't feel that Mr. Trump [was] owed the benefit of the difference," Cohen said.

Cohen told jurors that he ended up keeping the difference for himself.

After Weisselberg worked out a calculation to pay Cohen a total amount of $420,000, Cohen said the two men "went to Mr. Trump's office to speak with him about it."

It was in Trump's office at Trump Tower than Cohen said he learned "it'll be paid out to you monthly."

Cohen said Trump approved it.

Michael Cohen testified that Trump told him regarding his reimbursement for the Stormy Daniels nondisclosure payment, "Don't worry about that other thing -- I will take care of you when we get back."

But when Cohen returned to the office in the new year, no such conversation happened with Trump.

"There was no conversation about it, so I of course brought it up to Mr. Weisselberg," Cohen said of then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.

"When I am getting my money back?" Cohen said he asked.

Weisselberg suggested Cohen meet with him and bring the bank statement related to the Daniels payment.

Jurors were then shows the statement for Cohen's LLC, Essential Consultants, that jurors saw during Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney's testimony last week.

Cohen told jurors that his handwriting was on the right of the document, while Weisselberg's notes were on the left.

"The $130,000 was obviously the money that went for the nondisclosure agreement," Cohen told the jury about the statement.
