Toobin: How Did Trump Tell the Bookkeeper What to Do? — That’s a Weakness for the Defense

I -- this whole -- the idea that it was just money to Cohen, I think it's ridiculous. But the charge in this case is that Donald Trump caused these documents to be filed falsely.

How did Trump tell the bookkeeper what to do when it appears that Trump had no contact with the bookkeeper?”
