Trump trial jurors see invoices, checks and ledger entries to disguise hush money reimbursement
A pair of Trump Organization financial managers Monday described in detail the paper trail at the heart of the hush money trial - 34 invoices, checks, and ledger entries – that form the basis of former President Donald Trump 's 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records.
He set up shop in his own Manhattan office, outside Trump Tower, and billed the company as an independent vendor. From April 2017 onward, Mr McConney switched the source of the reimbursements from the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust to the "DJT" account – the president’s personal checking account – and had the checks sent by Federal Express to the White House for him to sign.
“Allen never told me that,” Mr McConney said. But he also knew this: “An expense reimbursement is not taxable.” "That jury was picked so fast - 95% Democrats. The area's mostly all Democrat," Trump said in an interview with right-wing streaming network Real America's Voice.Mr Merchan previously found Trump in contempt of court for nine previous violations, fining him the maximum allowed by law, $1,000 per instance, or $9,000. On Monday, Merchan threatened to jail Trump if another violation occurs.
