Laura now, consider what the jurors who have had to sit there in manhattan in that courtroom for four weeks had likely learned about the prosecutions star witness. Is he a convicted perjurer and a tax evaried. He secretly tapes and doesnt give get permission lied about the reason for trump security. Now on top of all of that he has admitted that he is a thief. Yeah. The fixer inflated a contractors invoice to the Trump Organization from 20 k to 50 k and pocketed the difference.
