Here is something I found interesting in that article...
snippets from article follow...
In his Trump Organization office,
Mr. Cohen surprised the man, John Gauger, by
giving him a blue Walmart bag containing between $12,000 and $13,000 in cash and,
randomly,
a boxing glove that Mr. Cohen said had been worn by a Brazilian mixed-martial arts fighter, Mr. Gauger said.
Mr. Cohen disputed that he handed over a bag of cash. “
All monies paid to Mr. Gauger were by check,” he said,
offering no further comment on his ties to the consultant.
Mr. Gauger said he never got the rest of what he claimed he was owed.
But
Mr. Cohen in
early 2017 still asked for — and received — a
$50,000 reimbursement from Mr. Trump and his company for the work by RedFinch, according to a government document and a person familiar with the matter.
Gauger and Cohen seem to totally disagree concerning what happened.
A (between) Cash amount and a boxing glove in a blue Walmart bag versus a check.
Cohen asked for and received a $50,000.00 reimbursement and Gauger said he never got the rest of his money.
Do the math, if you can.
Minus the
between $12,000.00 and $13,000.00. ( Did Gauger not count the money?) Then, add the value of that boxing glove, if Gauger accepted it as part of the payment. Then, subtract that total from the $50,000.00 reimbursement Cohen received.
And you will know, just how much of that reimbursement ended up in Cohen's pocket.
The truth of this matter has not been settled in this article.
Reader needs to guess which man is telling the truth.
