Cohen tells the court he went to Allen Weisselberg to get funding to buy the Karen McDougal story
Michael Cohen told the court how he went to Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg to get the money for Karen McDougal’s ‘life rights’.
Weisselberg said it would ‘defeat the purpose’ if the money came from the business.
The point was not to have Trump’s name affiliated with the story at all.
Cohen therefore asked Weisselberg to come up with other ways to provide the cash.
One of the ideas was to ‘come up with a LLC’ or limited liability company to facilitate the payment.
This led to 10 or 12 conversations with Weisselberg about the McDougal transaction, Cohen told the court.
