If Donald Trump is charged in connection with a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, he will be the first U.S. president to face criminal charges.
After that session, Cohen said he would no longer be making public statements about the case. Cohen is scheduled to testify before the grand jury on Monday afternoon.
The meeting came a day after The New York Times reported that Trump had been offered the chance to testify to the grand jury, an offer typically extended to the expected targets of criminal prosecutions. If Trump is charged in the case, he would become the first American president, former or otherwise, to face criminal charges.
A lawyer for Trump, Joseph Tacopina, scoffed in an interview Friday with CNBC at the idea of the former president being charged. Tacopina noted that Trump has denied having sex with Daniels. And the attorney said that Trump was the target of extortion by Daniels, and decided to pay her to resolve the "nuisance" of her demand for her silence shortly before the election.
