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.

Lisa Rubin (@lawofruby):
Trump agreed to pay Weisselberg $2 million. But what does Weisselberg owe in return?

'Weisselberg’s severance agreement with the Trump Org highlights serious constraints on Weisselberg’s ability to talk voluntarily about what he did and saw as CFO.'

Prosecution presents a page from #AllenWeisselberg’s phone records.

#JennieTomalin mentioned the names of 2 people who factor into the case: #Weisselberg, the #TrumpOrganization's fmr CFO, & #KeithDavidson, #StormyDaniels's fmr lawyer.

Tomalin testimony concluded.

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.
