During the trial, Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, revealed details about payments made to him from the Trump Organization. Cohen testified that a check from the revocable trust was signed by Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg. Another check for $35,000 in April was signed by Donald J. Trump himself.
When questioned about the purpose of these payments, Cohen stated that none of the checks were for work done during the months indicated on the check stubs. This raises questions about the nature of these transactions and their legality.
