The testy exchanges are continuing between Willis and Ashleigh Merchant, the lawyer for Trump’s co-defendant who brought this case.
When Merchant asks whether the only way she has reimbursed Nathan Wade for trips is with cash, Willis replies: “Don’t be cute with me.”
She goes on to say that she’s only given Wade cash “a few times in life” and never wrote him a cheque.
Merchant is trying to prove that, aside from her testimony, Willis has no written proof of reimbursing Wade for payments he made on her behalf – but Willis’ legal team objects that the questions are increasingly irrelevant.
There’s lots of focus on money and who paid for what, because Trump’s co-defendant wants to show Willis benefited financially from her relationship with Wade, whom she hired.
