EXCLUSIVE: After a six-week trial, it took the jury just two days last week to come back with guilty verdicts on all nine counts issued against a pair of Trump Organization affiliate companies.
“Michael van der Veen did nothing to help himself by imitating Donald Bender's voice and speech impediment… impugning his manhood because the guy spoke with a high voice. Peopledidn’t like that,” this person said, noting that one juror commented: “How small-minded and unnecessary.”
“Nobody believed McConney. Everybody got that he was stonewalling the prosecution and just could not say enough for the defense,” the juror said. “[His testimony] seemed to be incompetent lying. He tried to obfuscate but ended up sounding stupid.” They first considered whether the Trump Corporation and Trump Payroll Corporation engaged in a scheme to defraud.
People walk by New York City Criminal Court after the Trump Organization was convicted on all charges in a criminal tax fraud scheme on December 06, 2022 in New York City.According to the tell-all juror, one surprising detail was that they did not stumble on what was expected to be the biggest hurdle of the trial: whether or not Weisselberg and McConney acted “in behalf of” the corporations.
On that point, all the jurors quickly agreed: Weisselberg had clearly helped his employer dodge taxes by lowering his own salary to cover the luxury cars, apartment, and other benefits he and his wife received. But nothing seemed to piss off jurors more than the way the company enriched its executives by paying them part of their salary as “independent contractors,” which allowed several of them—even ones who weren’t indicted—to dodge even more taxes.
