Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : "Yes, sir," Cohen, 57, matter-of-factly replied from his seat at the defense table some 15 feet away from Trump, 77, in Manhattan Supreme Court.
42% : But Cohen admitted that he paid the company only $20,000 -- handing the CEO of Red Finch cash stuffed in a brown paper bag -- after Trump "refused" to pay the firm the full amount since he'd only risen to ninth in the poll.
38% : The exchange came as defense lawyers continued to hammer at Cohen's credibility, citing his past convictions for lying under oath, which he claims he did out of loyalty to Trump.
37% : Cohen later testified that he stole as a form of "self-help" in response to Trump slashing his bonus to $50,000 from the $150,000 he had been receiving.
34% : Trump, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, perked up, popped a mint into his mouth, and stared directly at Cohen during this part of his former longtime personal attorney's testimony.
25% : "I can't even say how many times he said to me, 'I hate the fact that we did it,'" Cohen says on the call, referring to Trump, he testified.
19% : But Cohen maintained that he had "no doubt" that he spoke with Trump about the Daniels payment at least 20 times in 2016 -- and that he would not have paid it had Trump not promised to reimburse him.
13% : Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche asked Cohen, the star witness testifying against Trump, who is charged with fudging company records to conceal a $130,000 payment Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels to bury a sex scandal before the 2016 election.
