During the trial, Michael Cohen revealed that he had a conversation with Alan Weisselberg, the CFO of the Trump Organization, regarding the setup of an LLC. Cohen informed Weisselberg that the LLC needed funding, indicating a financial transaction was in the works.
Weisselberg inquired about the possibility of American Media Inc. (AMI), the parent company of the National Enquirer, making a payment to Stormy Daniels. However, Cohen made it clear to Weisselberg that such a payment was not going to happen.
