Trump Under Scrutiny for $40M in Unreported Transfers Amid Fraud Trial

Despite violations, Trump's attorney insists on defendants' cooperation and compliance with court orders.

Former President Donald Trump and the Trump Organization are under scrutiny for $40 million in previously unreported transfers amid a civil fraud trial in New York.
Despite some violations, Trump's attorney Chris Kise maintains that the defendants, including Trump and his two eldest sons, continue to cooperate and remain in compliance with court orders.
Retired federal judge Barbara Jones, appointed to monitor the financial activity of the defendants, has identified three cash transfers exceeding $5 million each, totaling approximately $40 million.
Jones has confirmed that $29 million of the $40 million was used for tax payments, while the remaining funds were for insurance premiums and to an attorney escrow account.
Trump is set to testify in his defense later this month as the defense's last witness on December 11.
