NEW YORK, May 14

Donald Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen told jurors on Tuesday about an Oval Office meeting in which the then-US President confirmed a plan to reimburse Cohen secretly for a hush money payment to a porn star.

Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness at Trump’s criminal trial in New York, also acknowledged lying on multiple occasions — including under oath — but emphasised that he did so out of loyalty to Trump, as prosecutors sought to pre-empt an expected defence attack on Cohen’s credibility.

In his first day as a witness on Monday, Cohen laid out in painstaking detail how Trump ordered him to pay the adult film actress Stormy Daniels – “Just do it,” Cohen remembered Trump saying – to keep her story about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter under wraps. — Reuters

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
