What to know about Trump fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen's pivotal testimony in the hush money trial
Donald Trump's hush money trial reached a pivotal moment Monday when Trump's onetime loyal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, took the witness stand to testify against his former boss. As the prosecution's case enters its final stretch, Cohen is providing jurors with an insider's account of hush money payments at the center of the trial — payments he says were directed by Trump to fend off damage to his 2016 White House bid. Cohen is the most important witness for prosecutors, who are trying to prove that Trump engaged in a scheme to buy up and bury unflattering stories about himself to illegally influence the 2016 election.

Workers in Atlantic City casino smoking lawsuit decry 'poisonous' workplace; state stresses taxes
A group of Atlantic City casino workers asked a judge Monday to ban smoking in the gambling halls, citing the toxic effects of working in a “poisonous” atmosphere, while the state said ending smoking could jeopardize a half-billion-dollar pot of money for senior citizens and the disabled. A ruling banning smoking in the nine casinos would be a seismic event for the city's gambling industry, whose core business — money won from in-person gamblers — still has not returned to where it was before the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020. Whether to ban smoking is one of the most controversial issues not only in Atlantic City casinos, but in other states where workers have expressed concern about secondhand smoke.
