Cleanup on Aisle 45 with AG & Pete Strzok MSW Media

This week: Trump’s 2016 election interference/hush money trial continues. There have already been two contempt rulings; a third one is likely and may result in jail time. We’ve heard testimony from Gary Farro, the banker who helped Michael Cohen open the accounts the $130k moved through; lawyer who negotiated the payments to Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, Keith Davidson; audio and video specialist Douglas Daus; paralegal in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office who has been monitoring Trump’s social media, Georgia Longstreet; former Trump aide, Hope Hicks; and Trump Org accountant Jeff McConney.

We’ve heard from three witnesses in Trump’s election interference case in Manhattan.
David Pecker, former publisher of National Enquirer, testified about coordinating the “catch and kill” scheme and that he was aware that a payment to Karen McDougal was probably a violation of campaign finance law.
Rhona Graff, Trump’s “gatekeeper” since 1987, testified that Trump had contact info for Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels.
Gary Farrow, former senior managing director at First Republic Bank, testified about the LLC Michael Cohen created to make the payment to Stormy.
