During the trial, Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass presented evidence of false paperwork provided by Michael Cohen to First Republic Bank on October 13, 2016. The paperwork pertained to Resolution Consultants LLC, which Cohen claimed to have opened to facilitate payments. Steinglass informed the jury that Cohen had falsified the business record in order to open the bank account.
However, the defense argued that there was no concrete evidence, beyond Cohen's testimony, to suggest that former President Trump had any knowledge of the falsified records or Cohen's activities. This statement raises questions about the extent of Trump's involvement in the matter.
