  1. Back in the courtroom, jurors are seeing the documents that prosecutors say are false. Yesterday #MichaelCohen described the Jan meeting w/ #AllenWeisselberg, when #Trump heard Weisselberg say that the monthly payments would be a retainer for *legal services* It is that single line from a witness— the word “yes” —that most directly attaches Trump to the alleged #crimes. And the signatures on the checks from his personal bank account.

  2. #MichaelCohen's testimony about #AllenWeisselberg's financial advice on the #KarenMcDougal deal explains why Cohen would go on to pay #StormyDaniels, borrowing against his home. He says Weisselberg told him not to go through the #TrumpOrganization -linking the payment to #Trump's company would defeat the purpose- but to come up w/other more creative ways to pay.

    This will help prosecutors explain why Cohen made the #HushMoney payment in such a roundabout way.

  3. Justice Merchan said before proceedings began that he would not allow in a piece of evidence related to #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, who is currently in #jail.

    Prosecutors had hoped to put in evidence his severance agreement that requires #Weisselberg still be loyal to #Trump, to help explain his absence at the trial. But the judge is saying he won’t allow it.

  4. The lawyers argued about whether or not evidence should be allowed in that relates to #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr #TrumpOrganization CFO, who is currently in #Rikers Island after pleading #guilty to #perjury.

    The evidence is Weisselberg’s severance agreement which stipulates he will get an extra $2M if he does not cooperate w/any prosecutions of Trump.

    The agreement would show that he is still waiting to be paid his full severance by the #Trump Org.

  5. Prosecutors say that #AllenWeisselberg, the fmr CFO of the #TrumpOrganization, designed the specific way that #MichaelCohen would be reimbursed for the #HushMoney payment he made to #StormyDaniels. #Weisselberg worked in coordination w/ #Trump, prosecutors say. #Necheles is trying to cast doubt on that.

    We are starting to see the “blame it on Allen Weisselberg” defense.

  6. A different email is presented from #Westerhout to #RhonaGraff, saying that #Trump - who often calls the media “the enemy of the people" - proudly sent a NYT photo of himself boarding Air Force One for the first time to his family & wanted Weisselberg to see it.

    In addition to corroborating a lot of other testimony, Westerhout links that testimony to what she saw Trump do while he was in the WH. Stapled packets of checks & invoices were sent to the WH to sign.
