#Hoffinger asks #MichaelCohen about that now. He says now he did not dispute the underlying facts of the case, but BELIEVED — & still does — that he should not have been criminally prosecuted for that specific offense, #tax evasion. He says that he felt pressured & felt that he was charged w/that particular #crime, which was not related to the #HushMoney payment, unjustly.

Cross-examination of #Manochio was extremely brief.
Next witness, Tracey #Menzies, works at HarperCollins, a publishing company.
As happened on Tues, prosecution shows a book authored by #Trump, "Think Big: Make it Happen in Business and Life." The cover image shows Trump shouting. The witness, Tracey Menzies, says of the cover, "His name is quite large."
#NodFarter is snoozing through this testimony.

Justice Merchan wrote that he was “keenly aware of, and protective of, Defendant’s First Amendment rights.” But nonetheless, he wrote that he would not tolerate continued violations of his orders and that if necessary and appropriate, he would “impose an incarceratory sentence.” In plain language, he is warning Trump that he will send him to jail if necessary.

#Ivanka testified during cross examination that the #Doral is something she feels "very proud of," especially now that she's a #Florida resident.
#DeutscheBank’s Vrablic to Ivanka March 8, 2013, re Doral:
"I am SO glad we got to see you & have you show us the new rooms. They look amazing! I have had a wonderful time here & it is really impressive to see what you have accomplished so quickly."

#Ivanka testified that once the financing details had been worked out, all of her attention was devoted to its redevelopment. (not her new baby?) Just the hotel, though. She said the golf course design was all #Trump.
"My father has an affinity for golf.”
When #Doral was fully redeveloped, Ivanka said #DeutscheBank was pleased w/ the transformation, & changed some terms of the loan in Trump's favor.

Moved on to Trump's #Doral golf course in #Florida. Trump bought the property in 2012 out of bankruptcy for $150M, backed by a #loan from #DeutscheBank.
Asked about her role in the Doral sale, #Ivanka said: she received a phone call about the sale that was "very inconvenient timing" bc she was "in the hospital, or I was about to be in the hospital" w/her first child.

As we learned before #DeutscheBank was #Trump's largest creditor by far, & extended hundreds of million of dollars in credit to him 2011-2021.
#Ivanka said she only dealt w/ Trump's Deutsche Bank point person, Rosemary Vrablic, on projects like #Doral & the #OPO hotel in DC, & was only tangentially involved w/the #Chicago building.
Re the OPO. Real estate firm Colony Capital had planned on financing the deal in part, but backed out.

#NYAG Solomon says #Ivanka was deeply involved in the #Doral #loan process:
"She negotiated the deal from top to bottom, from interest rates to the net worth covenant.”Objection overruled.
NYAG asked Ivanka several questions about Trumps statements of financial condition (SFCs), which the AG said were #falsified to inflate #Trump's #NetWorth.
-
#NYAG showed various emails from around that time, #Ivanka said she didn’t recall much about the details of the financing process.
In response to several questions by NYAG atty Solomon, Ivanka said that she remembered Solomon asking her the question at her #deposition, but doesn't recall the events at issue.
The #TrumpOrganization purchased #Doral in November 2011 for $150M, financed by a #loan from #DeutscheBank.
-
#Ivanka said she hasn't worked at the #TrumpOrganization since Jan. 2017, but she has still received payments from financial interests in different aspects of the company.
#NYAG asked Ivanka about efforts by #Trump in 2011 to get financing for the redevelopment of the #Doral course. As we've heard before, the #TrumpOrg was shopping around before landing on #DeutscheBank as a #lender.
