Deborah Tarasoff is currently an accounts payable supervisor at the Trump Organization, which she testified is paying for her legal counsel.

Prosecutors began Monday's afternoon session by asking Tarasoff about Allen Weisselberg, the former Trump Organization chief financial officer who is currently serving a jail sentence at Rikers Island.

McConney also noted that most payments to Cohen came from Trump's personal bank account.

Prosecutors then introduced as evidence a check stub for the first payment to Cohen, totaling $70,000 to cover January and February 2017, and signed by Weisselberg and Eric Trump, CNN reported.

Of the $420,000 total paid to Cohen, $105,000 came from a Trump trust; the rest came from his personal bank account.

After he became president, Tarasoff testified that invoices and checks that Trump needed to sign would be sent via FedEx to the White House.

"If he didn't want to sign it, he wouldn't sign it and send it back," she said, per The Washington Post. »
