Mr. Trump is a conman. I am going to jail in part because of my decision to help Mr. Trump hide that payment from the American people before they voted a few days later. This $35,000 check was one of 11 check installments that was paid throughout the year – while he was President. You can find the details of that scheme, directed by Mr. Trump, in the pleadings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. So picture this scene – in February 2017, one month into his presidency, I’m visiting President Trump in the Oval Office for the first time.
