"I think what the jury has to reconcile is that if you'll lie to Congress, if you'll lie to the American people previously, if you'll lie to the IRS, 'why should I believe right now that you're not now lying to me?'"

But that's the prosecution's case. The idea is to show all of Cohen's faults, and for him to admit to them. A prosecutor said they call it "removing the sting". Get the jury familiar with him, so they won't be surprised when the defense goes after him hammer and tongs next week.
