trump after trump received a subpoena to return those white house documents, evan corcoran knows a lot and has now said what he knows under oath so, we have the vice president agreeing to testify on the january 6th probe, we have the president s personal attorney, testifying in the classified documents investigation, now well, we have this donald trump arraigned i manhattan court, pleading no guilty to 34 felonies. there is something laid out in the da statement of fact here, the da s document accompanying the indictment, that has lef me with more questions tha answers. it concerns this man former trump organization chie financial officer, allen weisselberg, who s currently set to be released from rikers island two weeks from today. from pleading guilty to decade-long tax evasion scheme in exchange for a lighte prison sentence in the tax fraud trial of the trump org last year, weisselberg testified, he pleaded guilty
and how to pay her prosecutors laid out that cohe spoke to weisselberg about quote, how to set this whole thing up and that allen weisselberg played an integral role an figuring out how to reimburs michael cohen. the document also alleges, weisselberg memorialized these calculations, and handwritte notes on the copy of the ban statement that michael cohen had provided well ellen lacewell bergholz over the statement of facts in this case, why wasn t he charged? after all, the only immunity h had concerning the hush mone scheme was from federa prosecutors, not the da office, not alvin bragg. so, could prosecutors use alle weisselberg s allege involvement in that hush money scheme as a leverage to ge allen weisselberg to cooperate on, other broader an ongoing criminal investigation int trump world? because that would be very very problematic for donal trump. problematic on the level of hi
