"It’s a case as to bookkeeping which is a very minor thing in terms of the law, in terms of all the violent crime," he said. "This is a case in which you pay a lawyer and they call it a legal expense in the books."
"I got indicted for that," Trump said.
Trump said that the things Cohen got in trouble for "had nothing to do with me."
"He represented a lot of people over the years but they take this payment and they call it a legal expense... and this is what I got indicted over," he said.
Trump said that instead of being at the trial, he should be campaigning in states like Georgia and Florida.
"It's very unfair," he said. "I should be allowed to campaign."
