During a recent statement, Trump attorney Todd Blanche addressed the issue of payments made by former President Donald Trump to his personal attorney, Michael Cohen. Blanche highlighted that Cohen often wrote 'for services rendered' on his invoices, indicating that he was providing legal services to Trump.
Blanche acknowledged the testimony of former Trump accountant Deborah Tarasoff, who stated that she would attach invoices to checks for Trump's signature. However, Blanche emphasized that this practice alone does not constitute definitive evidence of any wrongdoing.
Blanche further clarified that Tarasoff never directly discussed the checks or invoices with President Trump, suggesting that there was no direct communication between Trump and the accounting process.
