Jeffrey McConney, a former Trump Organization executive, testified in the NY v. Trump trial that the former president did not direct him to set up repayments to Michael Cohen.
Former President Trump did not personally direct a Trump Organization executive to set up reimbursement payments to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, according to witness testimony Monday in the NY v. Trump case. 'Michael Cohen was a lawyer?' defense attorney Emil Bove asked former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney on Monday at the start of the fourth week of the trial. 'Sure, yes,' McConney responded.
President Trump did not ask you to do any of the things you just described ... correct?' Bove asked. 'He did not,' McConney replied. NY V TRUMP TO RESUME MONDAY AFTER EVENTFUL 3RD WEEK OF TESTIMONY, THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF GAG ORDER FINES Trump is in Manhattan for the fourth week of a trial in which he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records. The NY v.
Allen never told me that,' McConney said. McConney is the prosecution team’s 10th witness since the trial began in mid-April. Last week, the court heard from Keith Davidson, an attorney who once represented Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal; computer forensic analyst for the DA’s office Doug Daus; bank executive Gary Farro; and Hope Hicks, who worked for the Trump Organization and later served as Trump’s press secretary during the 2016 presidential campaign. The Trump trial is expected to last at least six weeks.
The DA's office argued that Trump violated the order more than a dozen times, with the judge ruling last week that Trump violated the order nine times, resulting in a combined $9,000 fine. Merchan fined the former president another $1,000 for an additional violation on Monday, while arguing it's 'clear' that $1,000 fines for each violation are not effective. 'The last thing I want to consider is jail,' Merchan said.
