President ial election, prosecutors in the Trump Election Interference Hush Money Trial today have turned to the core of the actual crimes, the actual criminal acts and criminal charges against the expresident. That scheme to cover up Hush Money Payments to Stormy Daniels, using falsified business records. On the stand right now, Trump Employee deborah tarasoff. She handled payroll. Her testimony is critical. She explains that only donald trump could sign checks that came from his personal account. Thats the one used to reimburse Michael Cohen for the Hush Money Payments. Trump did that, even after becoming president of the United States of america. She also testified that if trump did not want to sign a check, he didnt have to. She was one half of a double whammy against the expresident today. Testifying after mcconney. He was a codefendant of the expresident.

completely comfortable, play this tape back ten years from now, i am right and anybody defending donald trump would be wrong on this point. the question is, why is the republican party, why are conservatives who blame to be against russian expansionism and authoritarianism, why are they willingly repeating russian talking points made up by an ex-kgb office centr? they have betrayed their values to support the president. it s the president trump tartru gop. putin said he s glad that the u.s. now stalking about ukraine in the election interference and not russian. we heard this congressmen do it during the hearings when fiona
