Cohen's demeanor changes as he fights Trump's attorney during cross-examination

From Lauren del Valle, Skyler Harris, Brynn Gingras and Jeremy Herb

Michael Cohen’s demeanor in the courtroom completely changed from deliberate answers to questions from the attorney general's office, and he took taken issue with questions at several points throughout cross-examination.

Cohen and Trump lawyer Alina Habba got into a heated exchange over Habba’s questioning about Cohen’s tax evasion charges, after she asked Cohen whether he told his wife about his tax crimes.

“Did you ever tell your wife that you were committing tax evasion?" Habba asked.

Cohen loudly objected, raising his voice at Habba over the direction of her questions.

Lawyers from both sides also got involved as Trump lawyer Chris Kise objected to Cohen’s outburst and the New York attorney general’s office objected to the question, saying it covered spousal privilege.

"This witness is completely out of control," Kise said, prompting a laugh from the gallery.

Kise argued the question was relevant to impeach Cohen’s character as a serial liar, part of the Trump team’s strategy to discredit Cohen.

“Asked and answered,” Cohen sneered in response to a question about losing his law license.

Habba at one point told him to stop making speeches and answer her questions.
