Former Trump Organization controller Jeffrey McConney testified during Trump's hush money trial on Monday.
Donald Trump's legal team tried to argue they were not ready for the testimony of a potential key witness at the former president's hush money trial, according to reports.
The total money paid to Cohen amounted to $420,000 when separate fees and bonuses were added. McConney stated that Weisselberg said the additional payments were to cover the taxes on the original $130,000 figure to Cohen.Prosecutors allege increasing the amount paid to Cohen was a part of an overall plot to hide the hush money payments.
