In closing arguments Tues, Trump’s lawyers are expected to cast #AllenWeisselberg as the prosecution’s missing piece, an elusive central player…. They will likely try to argue to the #jury that the case depends on #MichaelCohen, whose testimony provided the only evidence that #Trump had direct knowledge of the plot to disguise the #HushMoney reimbursement as #legal fees
@zemsgram@Nonilex don't forget the grandkids who Trump was paying the school fees for. And who I'm sure have been not so subtly invoked as in danger should Weisselberg open his mouth
"Yesterday, witnesses established that the paper trail of payments to Trump fixer Michael Cohen, who forwarded the money to Daniels, had been falsified. … A number of observers have suggested that the evidence presented through documents yesterday was not riveting, but historians would disagree."
Fmr #Trump exec #Weisselberg sentenced to 5 months in #jail after pleading guilty to lying under oath in the NYAG’s #civil#fraud investigation into business practices at the #TrumpOrganization. #AllenWeisselberg, who worked for the Trump family for a half-century before retiring recently, was taken into custody after a brief proceeding in NY Sup Court & is expected to serve his sentence at #RikersIsland.
