INDICTED.
THAT PUTS TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON
ALLEN WEISSELBERG.
THE UNFLIP, ILLEGAL FILINGS
TODAY DO NOT PROVE DONALD
TRUMPS POTENTIAL DODGE OF
ALLEGED CRIMES OF THE COMPANY HE
FOUNDED AND RUN FOR A LONG TIME.
A NEW WITNESS IS ACTUALLY DOING
THAT AND DRAWING THAT LINK.
JENNIFER WEISSELBERG TOLD
PROSECUTORS THAT TRUMP
GUARANTEED THE CHEMOTO HIRE
EMPLOYER INCOME TO HANG SCHOOL
COSTS.
HE SAW TRUMP DO SO IN 2012,
TELLING HER THEN HUSBAND, DONALD
TRUMP WOULD COVER TUITION.
TONIGHT I CAN TELL YOU "THE
BEAT" REACHED OUT TO JENNIFER
WEISSELBERG, SHE CONFIRMED THE
SAME STATEMENT.
SHE SAYS SHE SAW IT AND SHE SAYS
SHE TOLD THE DAS OFFICE ABOUT
IT. NOW, THIS TUITION FOR INCOME
NOW, THIS TUITION FOR INCOME
ARRANGEMENT MAY SOUND CON
LEWDED.
THE TRUMP ORG. WOULD WRITE IT
DOWN BUT NEVER BASICALLY
COMPLETE IT.
YOU CAN THINK OF THE ALL TERM
"PAID IN FULL" OR THE MOVIE
"PAID IN FULL."
HERE THE GUY IN CHARGE OF THE
BOOKS WAS PAID OFF THE BOOKS.
HE WAS NEVER PAID IN FULL.
THE DA SAYS THATS A CRIME AND
THEY HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO BUST
HIM FOR IT.
NOW, WHAT DOES IT MEAN LEGALLY
FOR THE ROAD FORWARD?
IF PROSECUTORS DO HAVE THIS EYE
WITNESS TO TRUMPS INVOLVEMENT,
WHY IS THAT AN INDICTMENT?
WHY IS THAT NOT A REASON TO
CHARGE TRUMP?
WELL, THERE ARE TWO LEADING
CONTENDER FOR POSSIBLE ANSWERS.
ONE, MORE DEVELOPMENT COMING
LATER OR TWO, THIS EVIDENCE THAT
DONALD TRUMP ALLEGEDLY KNEW OF
TUITION PAYMENTS, THAT ALONE
DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY PROVE
LEGALLY THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN
HIDING IF THOSE PAYMENTS WERE
PROPERLY COUNTED.
>> NOW, YOU MAY BE THINKING
OKAY, ARI, GIVE ME A BREAK GIVEN
HIS DECADES OF TAX DODGING.
MANY PEOPLE WOULD SAY DONALD
TRUMPS CRIMINAL INTENT AND THE
SCHEME IS A LOGICAL PRESUMPTION
AND I WOULD SAY TO YOU, YEAH,
THAT MAY SOUND LOGICAL.
YOU NEED MORE THAN LOGIC IN
COURT.
YOU NEED EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT TO
A JURY BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT.
WITH THAT FRAMEWORK IN MIND, WE
WANT TO BRING INFORMER
PROSECUTOR JOHN FLANNERY, THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> NICE TO BE HERE.
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF AN
EYE-WITNESS SAYING TRUMP WAS IN
ON THE PAYMENT AND WHAT MORE DO
YOU THINK IF PROSECUTORS WOULD
WANT OF EVIDENCE TO TIE IT ALL
TOGETHER?
>> WELL, I READ ONE REPORT AND I
DONT KNOW IF IT IS ACCURATE OR
NOT THAT JENNIFER WEISSELBERG
ALSO SAID THEY WERE DOING THIS
TO AVOID PAYING TAXES AND EVADE
PAYING TAXES.
IT IS TRUE THAT WOULD BE
ADDITIONAL MOVE, IF THIS IS
COMING OUT OF TRUMPS MOUTH
TOWARDS PROVING HIS INTENT FOR
WHAT THIS TRANSACTION WAS ABOUT.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT HE SIGNS THIS
AND MORE CHECKS HIMSELF, $50,000
FOR THE SCHOOL EACH YEAR.
I WONDER BECAUSE THE STATE
REPORTED IN THE NEWS IS JUNE THE
225th
25th, THE INDICTMENT IS JUNE THE
30th.
THE STATEMENT OF THE 50th COUNT
AGAINST WEISSELBERG THAT TALKS
ABOUT DONALD TRUMP DETAILED
GENERAL LEDGER, AND IT TALKED
ABOUT IN THE CONTEXT OF THEM
OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE BY TAKING
OUT, REMOVING FROM THAT LEDGER
AND AN EVENT IN SEPTEMBER WHICH
MAY HAVE TO DO WITH THE PAY OFFS
FOR THE LADIES IF YOU WILL.
IT TELLS US THESE GUYS HAVE A
SEPARATE SET OF BOOKS WHICH YOU
MENTIONED BEFORE WHICH ARE
CONTRADICTING WHAT THEY ARE
DOING PUBLICLY.
THAT MEANS THAT WE HAVE THE KIND
OF PROOF YOU DONT NORMALLY GET
IN A PAPER CASE.
I HAVE ALWAYS SAID AS A
PROSECUTOR AND THE PAPER CASE,
YOU DONT CATCH THE GENIUSES
BECAUSE IT IS HARD TO PUT TOGETHER THE TRAIL.
TOGETHER THE TRAIL.
YOU MAY HAVE ONE OR TWO
WITNESSES
WITNESSES, WHAT WE FIND
OURSELVES IS WE ARE INTO THE
FAMILY AND INTO TRUMP HIMSELF AND THE WALLS ARE CLOSING ON HIM
AND THE WALLS ARE CLOSING ON HIM
PERSONALLY AND WHAT THE
INDICTMENT SUGGESTS MAYBE THAT
WAS THE LAST MEETING AND THE
FACT THEY HAVE IN THE INDICTMENT
AND THIS OTHER BOOK IS THE TEASE
OF THE GENERAL LEDGER OF
CORRESPONDENT OF DONALD TRUMP.
THIS TEASES US OTHER THINGS MAY
BE SEEN COMING DOWN THE ROAD
THAT TRACKS THIS AND PERHAPS
OTHER MISCONDUCT USING THAT
GENERAL LEDGER.
ONLY ONE ELEMENT TAKEN OUT
DURING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
WHICH WAS IN A MUCH
CONTROVERSIAL WITH MIKE COHEN
AND SO ON.
IT TELLS YOU SOMETHING ELSE
ABOUT THEIR INVESTIGATION.
>> YEAH.
I THINK THATS ALL INTERESTING
OF THE WAY YOU TIE IT TOGETHER
AND THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN VERY
CLOSE AND ANYONE CAN DO THE
QUARTERBACK AND SAY WELL, THEY
COULD HAVE BEEN MORE AGGRESSIVE.
WE DONT KNOW YET WHERE THEY ARE
GOING.
YOU ARE MAKING THE POINT THAT
