## Report: Donald Trump has spent millions in possible witness tampering

Authored by nj.com

It pays to be a witness in a criminal trial against Donald Trump.

The benefits have flowed from Trump’s businesses and campaign committees, according to a ProPublica analysis of public disclosures, court records and securities filings.

Another employee got a $2 million severance package barring him from voluntarily cooperating with law enforcement.

And one of the campaign’s top officials had her daughter hired onto the campaign staff, where she is now the fourth-highest-paid employee.

These pay increases and other benefits often came at delicate moments in the legal proceedings against Trump.

To prove witness tampering, prosecutors would need to show that perks or punishments were intended to influence testimony.

ProPublica reported it would be difficult to prove the actions amount to witness tampering and that there was no evidence that Trump himself approved the benefits. »
