Donald Trump’s legal team reportedly sent a cease-and-desist in an attempt to stop a potentially damning investigation from being made public.
ProPublica recently published a lengthy report claiming that at least nine witnesses who have given evidence in the various criminal investigations involving the former president have since received financial perks such as severance packages or raises, or even new jobs or shares and cash from Trump’s media company.
The article lists several examples of these benefits, including long-term aide Boris Epshteyn, who allegedly played a key part in Trump’s inner circle’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, being said to have had his pay more than doubled since he testified in the Georgia criminal case.
Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran is also said to have had payments to his law firm “dramatically increased” since he testified in the federal classified documents case, including $786,000 sent in just one day shortly after Corcoran’s testimony.
A spokesperson for Trump said that any suggestion the 2024 team was engaging in any type of behavior that “may be regarded as tampering is absurd and completely fake.”
