Cohen testified Monday that he went to TD Bank and withdrew cash over a couple of days to pay Red Finch for its services, which he stored in a brown paper bag. The cash ultimately totaled about $20,000, which he gave to Red Finch's CEO, according to Cohen, but he said he never gave the company the total $50,000.

Cohen's testimony marks the fourth day he has taken the stand. Trump's legal team last week said they anticipated wrapping up cross-examination with Cohen on Monday. Closing arguments for the case are anticipated next Tuesday, following the Memorial Day holiday.

Cohen's testimony last week included him describing that he used his personal funds to pay Daniels in 2016 through a home equity line of credit. Cohen testified he did this because Trump told him to "handle it" because the story could be damaging to the campaign.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in the case, and has also repeatedly denied ever having an affair with Stormy Daniels.
