If there’s been one thing consistently outstanding about Donald Trump’s myriad legal problems, it’s his legal team. And by outstanding, I mean, it’s been amazingly hilarious to watch them screw up literally everything.

Today was primed for more such action: mini-celebrity (infamous, not famous) Michael Cohen was giving testimony in Trump’s civil fraud trial. Trump himself was looking forward to Cohen’s appearance. We can only assume he was excited to publicly disagree with Cohen on every point and call him a liar.

But despite his best efforts to be the biggest chump in the room, it was Trump’s legal team that took the honors today.

During an exchange as Cohen was on the stand, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba was champing at the bit to catch Cohen in a lie. After prosecutors finished with Cohen, she came in to cross-examine the witness. The prosecution had focused on Cohen’s personal experience with Trump’s financial statements, which was extensive. He testified that he not only knew about Trump’s fraud but aided him in artificially inflating his assets.

Habba’s line of questioning was purely intended to show Cohen was a liar. That can be their only defense against direct knowledge.

She asked him whether he lied when he pleaded guilty to tax fraud more than 5 years ago. Cohen has long maintained that he didn’t actually commit tax fraud, but was instead coerced into a guilty plea.

Today in court, Cohen admitted that he had lied to the judge in 2018.

Habba was shocked. “You lied to Judge Pauley?!” Cohen simply replied “asked and answered,” a response used when a witness understands the lawyer is simply trying to get a reaction out of them.

Then came the money shot. The head of Trump’s legal team, Chris Kise, shot out of his seat and shouted, “Your honor, this witness is out of control!”

The courtroom became a laugh riot. Then, as if to see if he could make Kise faint or something, Cohen gave the same answer when Habba asked him if he still had his law license.

No second outburst came, and the trial ended for the day. Cohen is scheduled to appear again on Wednesday.
