"Key Witness Absent from Trump's Trial"

The criminal trial of Donald Trump in Manhattan centers on a disputed 2017 meeting where Trump allegedly agreed to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush money paid to a porn star, disguised as legal expenses. Allen Weisselberg, Trump's longtime financial officer, was reportedly present but did not testify, as both sides doubted his reliability. Weisselberg, who has a history of legal troubles and loyalty to Trump, remains a pivotal yet silent figure in the case.
