Did prosecutors make a strong case in Trump trial?

Michael Cohen - the prosecution's final witness in Donald Trump's criminal trial - faces further cross-examination on Monday before lawyers set out Mr Trump's defence.
For four weeks, Mr Trump has sat quietly in a New York courtroom while state prosecutors have laid out the first-ever criminal case against a former US president.
Lawyers from the Manhattan District Attorney's Office have called on a cast of blockbuster witnesses and produced dozens of surreptitiously recorded conversations and documents to help corroborate their case.
They allege Mr Trump directed a hush-money payment to an adult-film star in 2016 to avoid a sex scandal he feared would derail his presidential campaign - and then authorised an illegal reimbursement scheme to cover it up.
