Trump's Defense in Fraud Trial Costing Millions, Expert Witness Paid Nearly $900,000

Eli Bartov, who testified there was 'no evidence whatsoever for any accounting fraud' by Trump, had his fees split between the Trump Organization and Trump's Save America PAC.

Expert witness Eli Bartov, who testified in Donald Trump's defense in his civil fraud trial, was paid nearly $900,000 for his services. Bartov's fees were split between the Trump Organization and Trump's Save America PAC.
Trump, his two eldest sons, and their company are accused of inflating the value of their assets on key financial records to obtain more favorable loans and insurance deals.
During his testimony, Bartov argued that there was 'no evidence whatsoever for any accounting fraud' by the former president.
The trial is set to continue next week, with the defense expected to rest its case following the conclusion of Bartov’s testimony.
Trump's legal battles, which are being waged in civil and criminal courts in numerous states and at multiple levels of government, have cost his Save America PAC millions.
