An accounting expert, Eli Bartov, who testified in Donald Trump's $250 million fraud case, has revealed that he has been paid nearly $900,000 for his services. Bartov, a leading accountancy expert, stated that he found no evidence of concealment in his review of the financial statements at the center of the case. The prosecution's expert witness, Michiel McCarty, was paid approximately $350,000 for his testimony. Bartov disclosed that the payments came from the Trump Organization and Trump's political action committee. Trump and his company executives are accused of inflating asset values to secure more favorable loans, which they deny. Trump is set to testify again on Monday, while Bartov will return to the stand on Tuesday.
