During the ongoing trial, Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger questioned Michael Cohen about his discussions regarding financial matters with Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg.
When asked if it was typical for him to discuss financial matters with Weisselberg, Cohen responded that it was common practice for everyone to engage in such discussions with Weisselberg.
Cohen emphasized that Weisselberg, a long-serving employee of Trump, was involved in handling financial matters for various individuals.
Furthermore, Cohen clarified that deals, regardless of their size, would typically be overseen by Weisselberg. He specifically mentioned that a deal of $150,000, like the one in question, would also go through Weisselberg's scrutiny.
Cohen highlighted Weisselberg's pivotal role in managing all financial transactions, both incoming and outgoing, within the Trump Organization.
The testimony shed light on the significant influence and responsibility Weisselberg held in financial matters within the organization.
