Trump's PAC Pays Expert Witness to Defend Against NY Fraud Case
An expert witness in the civil fraud trial against Donald Trump revealed in court that his fees were partially paid by Trump's Save America PAC. The PAC, which has spent over $20 million on legal fees this year, made a single payment of $40,500 to the witness in April. The witness, an accounting professor, stated that he has been paid approximately $520,000 by both the Trump Organization and the PAC. He testified that there was no evidence of accounting fraud and criticized the New York Attorney General's conclusions. The trial centers around allegations of inflating financial statements by billions of dollars.
