Cohen telling jurors Trump asked me if I needed money and I said all good because I can get a check. Under Cohen's reimbursement arrangement he was paid a series of checks totaling $420,000. Trump denies charges he falsified business records to cover hush money payments. At Criminal Court in Manhattan I'm Julie Walker. Meantime Lisa Dwyer has the latest on another former Trump attorney. The judge over saying Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy case says he is disturbed that so little progress has been made in sorting out his finances. Giuliani declared bankruptcy in December after he was ordered to pay two former election workers for spreading a false conspiracy theory about their role in the 2020 election. Since then Giuliani has missed deadlines to file financial disclosure reports and he has not succeeded in selling residences in New York and Florida. Attorneys for Giuliani say the issues have been ironed out and that they will file the necessary financial filings. Last week Giuliani was suspended from WABC radio where he had a daily show over what the station called his repeated violation of a ban on discussing discredited 2020 election claims. I'm Lisa Dwyer.

Appeals Court judges are expressing doubts about whether they can rule on a transgender woman's admission into a University of Wyoming sorority. Donna Water explains the case. In their lawsuit six members of Kappa Kappa Gamma's chapter challenged the membership of Artemis Langford by casting doubt on whether sorority rules allow a transgender woman. The lawsuit and appeal describe in detail how Langford's presence made the women feel uncomfortable in the sorority house. Yet sorority leaders overro their concerns after a vote by local chapter members to admit Langford. A Wyoming judge throughout the original lawsuit last year ruling that he could not override how a private voluntary organization defines a woman. Langford is not named as a defendant in the appeal rather the national sorority of Kappa Kappa Gamma and its president. I'm Donna Water and I'm Ben Thomas AP News thanks for listening.
