Those witnesses, longtime Trump Organization employees Jeffrey McConney and Deborah Tarassoff, handled the checks, invoices, and other records that comprise the 34 business records the Manhattan district attorney's office alleges Trump illegally falsified. He was sentenced to five months in jail in 2022 for a Trump Organization felony payroll tax-fraud prosecution, and is now serving another five-month sentence for felony perjury in last year's Trump Organization civil fraud trial. The Trump Organization needed to reimburse Cohen for some money, McConney testified that Weissberg told him. Yet another Trump Organization employee would FedEx the checks to Trump in DC, he testified. In the afternoon, prosecutor Christopher Conroy slogged through more records with Tarasoff, who said she has worked at the Trump Organization for 24 years.

"It always gets out," Pecker testified Trump told him. "It always gets out," Trump explained of his hesitancy, according to the trial's first witness, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker. Advertisement"I think the story should be purchased and you should buy it," Pecker told jurors, describing what he told Trump about McDougal's accusations during a June, 2016 phone call. But Trump wanted nothing to do with the McDougal payoff, Pecker said Tuesday, his second day on the witness stand. But Trump is now on trial for a second hush-money payment that prosecutors say has Trump's fingerprints all over it — the payment to Daniels.

Merchan didn't hit Blanche as hard as a federal judge in Manhattan has hit Trump lawyer Alina Habba for her lawyering. During the E. Jean Carroll defamation trial in January, Judge Lewis Kaplan bench-slapped Habba 14 times during a single day of testimony. "Please direct me to the portion of the original gag order, or the subsequent gag order, where it makes any exception if Mr. Trump feels he is under attack. The judge told Blanche to file a response, in writing, explaining why Trump should not be held in contempt for violating the gag order. The judge paused, then added, with some sarcasm, "I don't recall inserting that anywhere in either gag order."

A NY court has blocked the first subpoena issued by a House GOP inquiry into Trump's hush-money prosecution. Ex-Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz had been ordered to submit to Judiciary Committee questioning Thursday. That's now on hold while committee chair Jim Jordan and DA Alvin Bragg continue fighting over the inquiry. Bragg's office must file court papers by Friday explaining why Pomerantz should not testify, and why Wednesday's decision should be overturned. Bragg has sued to fight the committee's inquiry into the hush-money prosecution, under which Trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
A federal judge in Manhattan handed Trump's NY prosecutors their first legal setback Wednesday. Ex-prosecutor Mark Pomerantz must now testify before the House Judiciary Committee as early as Thursday. The inquiry will also explore the need for legislation to protect former presidents from "political prosecution," judiciary committee attorney Matthew B. Berry had argued. Lawyers for both sides — the judiciary committee and Bragg's office — are accusing each other of abusing their power for political gain. Attorneys for the judiciary committee did not immediately respond to emails requesting comment on the decision; a spokeswoman for Bragg said an appeal will be filed in hopes of delaying Thursday's testimony.
