Former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen has admitted to jurors in the Republican’s hush money trial that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump’s company as defence lawyers attack his credibility.

The landmark trial returned with defence cross-examination of Mr Cohen, whose pivotal testimony last week directly tied Trump to the alleged hush money scheme.
