Michael Cohen testifies in hush money case, recounts arranging deal to silence Stormy Daniels


Cohen testified that former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg said “let’s do it” when he asked about getting reimbursed for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels after the new year, according to CNN.

Cohen confirmed that he provided the First Republic Bank statement that Weisselberg requested, showing the $130,000 transfer.

The jury was shown a copy of the bank statement with Weisselberg’s handwritten notes tallying what Trump owed Cohen based on their previous discussions. Cohen testified he was present when Weisselberg wrote the notes.

Cohen says Weisselberg told him the reimbursements would start in February.

“What he stated to me is, ‘Each month just send an invoice to us. And just mark down for legal services rendered pursuant to the agreement, and we’ll get you a check out,‘ ’” Cohen testified, adding that Weisselberg encouraged him to “just be patient” as Trump transitioned to Washington, D.C.
