'In fact, the handwritten notes say, 'This is to gross him up'—you do not gross up legal fees. The exact amount is $130,000 times two to cover taxes, plus $50,000 for online polling company. And it's not that Allen Weisselberg wrote this on a scratch piece of paper.'Newsweek reached out to Trump's attorney, Todd Blanche, and representatives of his 2024 presidential campaign via email at 8 a.m. ET.
