Michael Cohen told jurors that he submitted 11 invoices to the Trump Organization over the course of 2017 to get his reimbursement for the Stormy Daniels hush money payment and other expenses -- but that they were false records because they were not for their stated purpose of a retainer fee.

Asked the purpose of the $420,000 payment over the year, Cohen said "the reimbursement to me of the hush money fee along with Red Finch, and the bonus."

"Was this invoice a false record?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked.

"Yes ma'am," Cohen said.

"Were any of those invoices you submitted for services performed pursuant to a retainer agreement?" Hoffinger asked.

"No," Cohen replied.

Hoffinger then walked Cohen through each of the false invoices he sent, and the checks that he received in return.

As Hoffinger showed Cohen each document, he confirmed that there was no retainer agreement at the time and that the invoices were false.

"Is that a false record?" Hoffinger asked about each invoice.

"Yes ma'am," Cohen said.

After each invoice, Cohen identified the check he received.

"Did you receive this check for $35,000 in response to that false invoice?" Hoffinger asked.

"Yes ma'am," Cohen replied.

"Whose signature is it?" asked Hoffinger.

"Donald J. Trump" said Cohen.

"Was this the last check that you received from Mr. Trump or anyone at the Trump Organization?" Hoffinger asked about a December 2017 check for $35,000.

"Yes," Cohen said, explaining that the "full reimbursement of the $420,0000 had been paid."

Former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, picking up where he left off yesterday, recounted a meeting with Trump in Feb. 17, 2017, at the White House -- a key moment where prosecutors allege Trump personally discussed the repayment arrangement for the hush money Cohen had paid to Stormy Daniels.

"So I was sitting with President Trump and asked me if I was OK. He asked me if I needed money. And I said no, all good. He said, 'I can get a check.' I said, no I'm OK," Cohen recounted of the conversation.

"He said all right, just make sure you deal with Allen," Cohen said, referring to then-Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.

"Did he say anything about anything that would be forthcoming to you?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked.

"Yes, there would be a check for January and February," Cohen said.

The jury was shown a photo of Cohen in the White House briefing room, backing up that the meeting occurred.

Michael Cohen has taken the stand for his second day of testimony.

He appeared to glance in the direction of Trump as he made his way to the stand, but the two did not appear to make eye contact.

Judge Juan Merchan has gaveled in the day's proceedings.

"Good morning, Mr. Trump," he said in his usual fashion.

On cross-examination, Michael Cohen told jurors that, as part of his work for Donald Trump during his 2016 campiang, he surreptitiously recorded "a handful" of conversations with journalists.

"Did you tell people you were recording them?" Blanche asked.

"No sir," Cohen responded. "It is not illegal in New York."

"Who else did you record surreptitiously?" defense attorney Todd Blanche asked.

"I recorded, off the top of my head ... I can't tell you," Cohen said.

"Jeff Zucker on one event," Cohen said, referring to the then-CNN president. "Mr. Trump at another event," he said.

Trump, at the defense table, angled toward Cohen in his chair, intently watching this testimony.
