Cohen testifies that about a 'false' record where he submitted an invoice for 'services rendered'
Cohen testifies about a Feb. 14, 2017 memo.
'Pursuant to the retainer agreement, kindly remit payment for services rendered for the months of January and Februaryu, 2017,' it says. Cohen says he created the invoice after speaking to Jeff McConney, who reported to Allen Weisselberg.
Cohen had asked McConney via email how much the monthly agreement was for. '$35,000,' he responded.
'Does the invoice say that it’s for services rendered not only for the month of January but February,' Hoffinger asks. Cohen agrees.
'In truth was this invoice for any services that you had rendered for those two months?' she asked him. Cohen says it wasn't.
He gets asked if the reimbursement for services rendered was a truthful statement. He says it isn't.
'The reimbursement to me for the hush money fee as well as Red Finch and the bonus,' he said.
