Nine witnesses in the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump have received significant financial benefits...flows from Trump's businesses and campaign committees...
One campaign aide had his average monthly pay double, from $26,000 to $53,500. Another employee got a $2 million severance package... And one of the campaign's top officials had her daughter hired...now the fourth-highest-paid employee.
Pay increases and benefits often came at delicate legal moments. For example, an aide got a board position at Trump's social media company after being subpoenaed but before testifying.
Changes in work situations outside normal business practices can be evidence of a crime. Prosecutors would need to show perks or punishments were meant to influence testimony.
