Hello everybody I'm John Fawcett sitting in for Lou Dobbs on this midday update for Monday, May 20th.

Alvin Bragg Star Witness Michael Cohen back on the stand today in the New York Trump trial.

If last week wasn't bad enough for him, this morning it got worse.

Cohen admitted on the stand that he stole from President Donald Trump at least $30,000

and lied to CEO Alan Weisselburg while doing it.

Cohen also admitted to making over $4 million last year off of two books and two podcasts,

both of which attack President Trump.

Cohen said he also makes money off of his merchandise which is

called convict 45. Cohen clearly suffering from a terrible case of

Trump arrangement syndrome. An Iranian president and foreign minister declared dead in that helicopter crash over the weekend.

Iran has offered no cause for the crash, nor have they suggested sabotage brought down the helicopter.

President Rice was proclaimed as one of the most radical Islamists to ever serve as president of Iran.

The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kameeni has named the Vice President as acting President and

insists the government is very

under control. And the International Criminal Court has issued arrest

warrants for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leaders for

war crimes.

The charges against Hamas terror chiefs include extermination, murder, torture, rape, and

taking hostages, all as war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Israel is accused of willful killing, starvation of civilians as a method of warfare,

and willfully causing great suffering.

The International Criminal Court must have missed the October 7th surprise on Israel.
