Trump attorney Todd Blanche has raised questions about the credibility of Michael Cohen's testimony regarding a meeting at Trump Tower and a repayment plan involving former Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.
Blanche disputes Cohen's claim that Weisselberg informed him about a payment arrangement spanning over 12 months. He argues that there is no evidence supporting Cohen's assertion that he met with Weisselberg and President-elect Trump to discuss the repayment plan.
The focus of the challenge lies in the lack of corroboration for Cohen's account of the meeting and the repayment terms. Blanche asserts that without additional evidence or witnesses to confirm the details provided by Cohen, the testimony remains unsubstantiated.
This development adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal scrutiny surrounding Trump's business dealings and interactions during his transition to the presidency. The differing narratives presented by Cohen and Blanche underscore the contentious nature of the allegations and the challenges in establishing a clear timeline of events.
As the legal proceedings continue, the veracity of Cohen's testimony and the credibility of key witnesses like Weisselberg will likely come under further scrutiny. The outcome of this dispute could have significant implications for the broader investigations into Trump's financial affairs and potential legal liabilities.
