COURTHOUSE,
May 6 – On Monday the Trump
trial began with Justice
Merchan threatening to jail
Trump for violations of his
gag order.
He said 10
violations were enough and
that among his job is
protecting the dignity of the
court.
Then the first
witness was called: Jeff
McConney, now retired Trump
Organization controller.
Trump's
lawyer Emil Bove objected
without being sustained to the
entry into evidence of several
financial records, and a
Government Ethics Office form.
Trump filed a
disclosure that he paid a
reimbursement to Michael Cohen
in 2017.
By lunch, Bove
would emphasize that Trump
make the disclose, that
McConney rarely spoke with
Trump, and that the accounting
software used in the Trump
Organization was antiquated
and so, by implication, legal
expenses could mean many
different things.
