Michael Cohen to resume testimony in hush money trial
Cohen is now recounting how, when he was asked by Jeff McConney for invoices, he actually “didn’t have a copy of the document made with Weisselberg.”
“It would’ve been on a retainer agreement, but there was none,” Cohen told prosecutors.
As a result, Cohen explained, he “created a document and called it an invoice” requesting “payment for services rendered for the months of January and February” from Weisselberg.
He continued to send such documents as monthly invoices.
Asked by prosecutors about whether services had actually been rendered, Cohen replied, “No, ma’am.”
Asked whether “for services rendered” was a “truthful statement,” Cohen repeated, “No, ma’am.”
The true purpose, Cohen explained: “The reimbursement of hush money.”
Cohen said “yes” when asked whether the invoice was a “false record” and whether “each invoice made the same false representation.”
