Prosecutors in New York on Monday showed a series of documents that Daily Beast reporter Jose Pagliery described as "the most damning" yet seen in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan hush-money trial. The documents related to the Trump Organization's scheme to reimburse former Trump "fixer" Michael Cohen for shelling out hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign.
As described by MSNBC's Katie Phang, one showed Trump Organization officials making calculations on a piece of paper with the Trump Organization letterhead about how to pay back Cohen. In total, the Trump Organization paid Cohen back a total of $420,000 over the span of a year in $35,000 monthly increments.
It was these payments that prosecutors alleged were falsely logged as legal expenses when in reality they were an illegal campaign contribution made by Cohen to ensure that damaging information about Trump did not come out ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
"We're seeing the white corporate notepad that says TRUMP at the top," marveled Pagliery in a post on Twitter. "It shows the coverup math. This is the most damning evidence we've seen so far."
