Importantly the falsified documents at issue in the #TrumpTrial weren’t to hide Trump’s affair #KarenMcDougal, but the #StormyDaniels #situationship.
Blanche asks about the story about McDougal: “President Trump at least initially, did not think it would hurt him, correct?”
#MichaelCohen: “Initially, yes.”
Though, Cohen concedes that ONE of the things Trump was worried about w/that story was his wife & *children* — that was a nearly year long affair while Melania was preggers so yeah.

#Steinglass presented texts between #MichaelCohen & #KeithDavidson about a statement prepared before #StormyDaniels' #JimmyKimmel appearance in Jan 2018.
The statement said that she was denying an affair w/ #Trump. Asked how truthful that was, Davidson testified that it's technically true because no one had alleged a #relationship between the 2 of them. He said a relationship is an ongoing interaction.

#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.

Colony Capital was founded by #TomBarrack, a real estate mogul who chaired #Trump's #inauguration cmte & was the 2016 Trump campaign’s go to on foreign policy stuff.
Barrack was charged & went to #trial in Brooklyn #federal court re #FARA - it was alleged he was secretly acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the UAE in the campaign & then the WH.
In the end he was acquitted - but there was a cooperation deal.

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.

Louis Solomon of the #NYAG: "The people call #Ivanka Trump”
Ivanka said she joined the family business shortly after she graduated college, starting out under the then head of development & construction, but her duties changed as she grew more experienced.
Ivanka said she was. very involved in #Trump's redevelopment of the Old Post Office (#OPO) hotel in #DC as well as the #Doral golf course in #Florida.

#NYAG showed #EricTrump’s email exchange w/ #CushmanWakefield appraiser David McArdle, who testified earlier (attached).
(This is also indirectly addressed in Eric’s video deposition where he claimed he didn’t know McArdle 🙄)
NYAG asked Eric if he now agreed that the Cushman 2014 #valuation of #SevenSprings was disregarded for the purpose of (to bolster) #Trump's #SFC.
Eric: "No, the exercises are apples & oranges, one has nothing to do w/the other.”

Back to the questioning of #TrumpOrg Asst VP Patrick #Birney by #NYAG:
NYAG atty Haren examined comms between the #TrumpOrganization & #CalebMelby, a reporter worked at #Forbes & but now works at #Bloomberg. He worked on Trump’s #NetWorth estimates for @business.
Birney contacted real estate firm #CushmanWakefield for info on #CapRates.
