The ex-lawyer said he paid a company only $20,000 from the $50,000 he received from the Trump Organization for financial services.
Donald Trump’s ex-attorney Michael Cohen admitted Monday to stealing from the Trump Organization during testimony in the former president’s hush money payment trial.
Cohen, who served as Trump’s longtime lawyer and „fixer,“ is continuing his testimony this week in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The DA has charged Trump with falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during his 2016 presidential campaign. Bragg’s case says the payment was intended to prevent her from going public about her allegation that she and Trump had had a sexual encounter.
Trump has denied the encounter and pleaded not guilty to all criminal charges. He also has accused Bragg of targeting him for political purposes. Cohen is a key prosecution witness in the trial after previously admitting to making the $130,000 payment to Daniels.
During Cohen’s testimony Monday, Trump attorney Todd Blanche questioned him about a payment to tech company Red Finch.
