During a recent court hearing, Deborah Tarasoff, an employee in the accounting department of the Trump Organization, provided valuable insights into the check-writing process within the company. Tarasoff's testimony shed light on the reimbursement checks totaling $420,000 that were sent to former attorney Michael Cohen in 2017.
According to Tarasoff, any invoice exceeding $10,000 post-2015 required approval from Donald Trump or one of his sons. She detailed the meticulous process of creating the 12 checks for $35,000 each, which were signed by Trump himself. Tarasoff explained that if Trump did not approve a payment, he would mark the check as 'void.'
