#Steinglass is now focused on the“gross-up” of the amount that #MichaelCohen was paid for tax purposes. Legitimate legal fees are not “grossed up.”
Steinglass reminds the jury that #JeffreyMcConney, the fmr controller of the #TrumpOrganization, testified that in 50 yrs he was never aware of a payment being doubled for taxes. He then argues that this gross-up was made because the reimbursement was disguised as income.

#Steinglass refers to exhibits that #JeffreyMcConney, a longtime loyal #Trump employee, testified about: #AllenWeisselberg’s notes setting up the repayments.
Steinglass refers to these exhibits as “the smoking guns” of the prosecution’s argument, saying they “completely blow out of the water the claim the money paid to Cohen” was for legal services.

#JeffreyMcConney, former corporate controller @ #TrumpOrganization, testified in court about a reimbursement payment of $360,000 in 2016 to former Trump attorney & fixer, #MichaelCohen. That payment was “grossed up” from a $180,000 expense, to offset income taxes. The details were handwritten on Trump stationary by McConney, who was taking notes while speaking 2 #AllenWeisselberg, company’s chief financial officer, who told him that Cohen was owed money

#TrumpOrganization exec #JeffreyMcConney is testifying as prosecutors have introduced evidence that #DonaldTrump cooked the books to hide reimbursing #HushMoney to #MichaelCohen.
#Trump lied on his disclosure form to the #OfficeOfGovernmentEthics when he took office, which is so on brand and in character for Trump that it would be shocking if not a single eye blinked in the courtroom.
