Yes, Cohen admits.\nAnd you've never paid the Trump Organization back for the money you stole from it? No.\nYou lied to Weisselberg about the amount owed to you for Redfinch? Yes\n— Anna Bower (@AnnaBower) May 20, 2024Cohen had asked for the $50,000 reimbursement alongside the $130,000 he paid personally to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election for a nondisclosure agreement.The former attorney then said he went to the bank and took out cash over several days, totaling about $20,000 before keeping it in a small brown paper bag. Then he gave it to the tech firm, he testified, adding he never gave the full $50,000 amount.The Trump Organization ultimately repaid Mr. Cohen $50,000 and then doubled that payment in a practice known as “grossing up” to cover taxes he’d incur by declaring the money as income rather than a tax-free reimbursement.Mr. Blanche noted that despite Mr. Cohen’s guilty pleas in 2018 to federal charges including a campaign finance violation for the hush money payment and unrelated tax evasion and bank fraud crimes, he’d never been charged with stealing from President Trump’s company. -Epoch TimesThey really aren't sending their best...He’s not only a liar but a thief https://t.co/omudhKMfuY\n— Sara A.
