Jurors in the trial were presented with a voided check dated February 14, 2017, made out to Michael Cohen from a revocable trust, with the amount of $70,000. The check, although stamped as void, was explained by Deborah Tarasoff to have occurred due to the check being photocopied. Despite the VOID stamp, the check itself was not void.
A notable detail on the check was the inscription 'Two signatures needed on amts over $10,000' written above the signatures. This requirement indicates that any amount exceeding $10,000 necessitates the authorization of two signatures for validation.
