Blanche Uncovers Emails Revealing Trump's Involvement In Payment Agreements

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

In a recent meeting, Blanche focused on the retainer agreement between Mr. Weisselberg and Cohen, where it was revealed that there was no formal agreement in place. During the meeting, Blanche inquired about the hypothetical scenario of a retainer agreement between Cohen and a client, to which Cohen responded affirmatively.

Blanche then presented emails from Alan Weisselberg to Cohen dated January 31st, 2017, regarding a mortgage modification agreement for a Trump Park Avenue condominium. In the email, Weisselberg mentioned preparing the agreement for monthly payments, indicating a financial arrangement.

Further emails were shown, this time from Weisselberg to Jeff McConney, Trump's right-hand man, questioning why checks were signed by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump instead of Trump himself. The reason given was that the two were acting as trustees.

Cohen confirmed that his email signature post-Trump's presidency always identified him as the personal attorney to President Donald J. Trump. This highlighted the continuity in Cohen's role despite the change in the President's position.

The discussion shed light on the intricacies of the financial dealings and legal representation within the Trump organization. It revealed the importance of clear agreements and communication in such matters, especially when involving high-profile individuals.
