Trump's focus on the Stormy Daniels story was solely for the campaign, not for the sake of his wife, Melania, who was in hiding.

On Monday, the courtroom was abuzz as former President Donald Trump's ex-attorney, Michael Cohen, took the stand to testify against his former client. Cohen, who has been described as Trump's "fixer," was the star witness in the hush money trial involving porn star Stormy Daniels.

According to Cohen, Trump was solely focused on the 2016 presidential campaign and not his wife, Melania Trump, when he tried to conceal the news of his alleged affair with Daniels. Cohen revealed that he had made a deal with Daniels to keep her quiet about the affair, stating, "Don't worry, he goes how long do you think I'll be on the market for? Not long." It was clear that Trump was not concerned about the impact this could have on his marriage, but rather on his political image.

As Cohen continued to testify, Trump could be seen shaking his head and smirking when his wife was mentioned. This was a stark contrast to the public persona Trump had projected during his campaign, where he often spoke about the importance of family values and being a devoted husband.

The hush payment to Daniels has become the main focus of Trump's trial at Manhattan Criminal Court. Prosecutors argue that Trump falsified business records to cover up the reimbursement he made to Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Daniels. This payment was made just before the 2016 election, and prosecutors believe it was a violation of campaign finance laws.

Trump has maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He has also denied having an affair with Daniels. However, as Cohen's testimony continues to unfold, it is becoming increasingly clear that this scandal has had a lasting impact on Trump's presidency and his personal life.
