Michael Cohen testified about the April 9, 2018, FBI raid on his hotel room and office as part of a federal investigation related to the Stormy Daniels matter. At the time, Cohen's apartment was flooded, so he was residing in a hotel.

"At 7 o'clock in the morning, there is a knock on the door and I look through the peephole and I see a ton of people out in the hallway. I saw a badge ... they identified themselves at the FBI," Cohen said.

Cohen told jurors that the FBI seized two phones, a series of tax books, and other records.

"I found out that simultaneously they had also raided my apartment that was under construction, my law office, and my bank that had a safety deposit box I had just opened in order to hold valuables in because I didn't want to keep them in the hotel," he testified.

"How would you describe your life being turned upside down?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked.

"Concerned. Despondent. Angry,” Cohen said, describing his response to the raid.

"Were you frightened?" Hoffinger asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Cohen said.

Cohen said that he left a message for Trump after the raid, and received a phone call from Trump.

"I received a phone call from President Trump in response to me leaving a message for him to call," Cohen said. "I wanted obviously for him to know what was taking place. He said, don't worry, I am the president of the United States -- there is nothing here. Everything is going to be OK. Stay tough. You are going to be OK."

Cohen said Trump's statements at the time" reinforced my loyalty and my intention to stay in the fold." At the time, the Trump Organization was paying his legal fees.

Cohen said this was the last time he spoke to Trump.

Jurors then saw an April 21, 2018, tweet from then-President Trump that referenced the possibility Cohen might "flip" -- i.e., decide to turn on him.

Cohen said he understood those tweets as being directed "to me" -- meant to indicate, "stay in fold, stay loyal, I have you ... don't flip."

"Mr. Trump did not want me to cooperate with the government, certainly not to provide information or flip," Cohen said.

In a ruling related to the ongoing criminal trial, a panel of New York appellate judges has denied Donald Trump's challenge to the limited gag order in the case.

In April, Trump filed an Article 78 petition to challenge the constitutionality of the limited gag order, which prevents public statements about witnesses, jurors, lawyers in the case other than Alvin Bragg.

Trump argued that the limited gag order overstepped on his First Amendment rights.

In their ruling today, the appellate judges acknowledged that while Trump does not surrender his First Amendment rights once he enters the courtroom, those rights "may be subordinated" by the issues that arise during the trial.

"We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner's First Amendment Rights against the court's historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm," the decision said.

Jurors saw a statement that Michael Cohen released to the press in 2018 about the Stormy Daniels payment and the related FEC complaint.

"Just because something isn't true doesn't mean it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump," Cohen read to the jury from his 2018 statement.

The jury also saw a Signal message from then-Trump attorney Jay Sekulow to Michael Cohen that read, "client says thanks for what you do."

"The client here is President Trump, and for what you do, it dealt with the statement that I was putting out to the press," Cohen testified.

"To deny his involvement?" prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Cohen.

"Yes," Cohen responded.

Michael Cohen acknowledged that his lawyers sent the Federal Election Commission a "misleading statement" on Feb. 8, 2018.

"Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly," the letter to the FEC read.

Cohen described the statement as "misleading" because the reimbursement came from Trump directly.

"It was the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust or Donald Trump himself," Cohen told jurors, though he said he "omitted" that from the letter to the FEC.

Cohen said Trump approved the statement.

"That's a true statement, but it's deceptive, it's misleading," Cohen said. He did so "in order to protect Mr. Trump, stay on message, demonstrate my continued loyalty," he said.

As Cohen discussed his conduct related to the FEC, Judge Merchan offered a limited instruction to the jury, telling them that the testimony can be used to provide context for the surrounding events and help determine Cohen's credibility -- but not Trump's guilt.

Defense attorney Todd Blanche accused Michael Cohen of lying about a phone call Cohen testified he had with Donald Trump on Oct. 24, 2016.

Blanche read texts between Cohen and Trump aide Keith Schiller on that date, in which Cohen asked Schiller, "Who can I speak to about harassing calls to my phone and office?"

According to Blanche, Schiller asked Cohen to call him at 8:02 p.m.

"This is the call that you testified about on Tuesday that you had a conversation with President Trump?" Blanche said.

Cohen, who testified on Tuesday that he had called Schiller to speak with Trump, agreed.

Nearly shouting, Blanche alleged that Cohen lied during his testimony on Tuesday.

"That was a lie," said Blanche, adding that Cohen texted Schiller the phone number of the 14-year-old prank caller at 8:04 p.m.

"Part of it was the 14-year-old, but I knew that Keith was with Trump at the time," Cohen responded.

"That was a lie. You did not talk to President Trump that night," Blanche said, raising his voice. "You can admit it."

"No sir, I can't," Cohen said. "Because I'm not sure that's accurate."

"This jury doesn't want to hear what you think happened," Blanche said.

Trump, at the defense table, appeared engaged and furrowed his eyebrows.

The jury was then shown text messages from that evening between Cohen and Schiller, which Blanche suggested prosecutors omitted from their exhibit.

"Mr. Cohen, you just said that you don't recall a phone call ... on Tuesday you testified that you remembered the phone call," Blanche shouted, again growing animated and speaking quickly.

Cohen stood by his testimony, saying he spoke to both Trump and Schiller.

"Based upon what was going on and based upon the other messages regarding the Stormy Daniels matter, yes I believe I was telling the truth," Cohen said.

Judge Merchan subsequently recessed the court for lunch.
