Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York entered a new phase on Monday, as prosecutors moved on to the alleged falsification of business records to cover up hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, after previously calling witnesses who described a conspiracy to kill the story.
The prosecutors in the Manhattan district attorney’s office started this week with the former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney, the No 2 in the accounts department, who processed the former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s invoices seeking reimbursement for the hush money.
