Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The hush money trial of former President Donald Trump is currently underway, with Michael Cohen taking the witness stand to testify. Prosecutors are aiming to prove that Trump illegally falsified business records by paying adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep silent about her alleged affair with him, with Cohen being reimbursed for the payment. Trump’s attorney argues that the payments to Cohen were a retainer for legal expenses, not hush money. The defense asserts that it is not against the law to pay to stop unfounded rumors. Cohen, who pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the payoff, served three years in prison and home confinement.
Meanwhile, a report from The New York Times and ProPublica suggests that Trump could face a hefty IRS bill of over $100 million in connection to a Chicago skyscraper. The report indicates that Trump allegedly double-dipped on tax losses associated with the property, claiming financial losses and deeming the property worthless. The IRS has been investigating these losses for years.
