It has come to light that a paralegal from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office testified on Friday that three pages of phone records between convicted liar Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels’s lawyer, Keith Davidson, were deleted from their evidence, while former President Donald Trump’s legal team was not notified about the removal, as per the reports via Conservative Brief.
CNN reported that Trump attorney Emil Bove raised the question that paralegal Jaden Jarmel-Schneider on Friday concerning the deletion of three pages of 2018 phone records between Davidson and Cohen by Bragg’s office.
The Epoch Times also reported that additional phone records involving conversations between Daniels’ manager, Gina Rodriguez, and then-National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard, about Daniels’ claims about her alleged affair were deleted as well.
It has come to light that the altered call records were submitted as evidence, the reports said, but Bragg’s office failed to inform Trump’s defense team that three pages were missing.
Tampering with evidence is a class E felony in the Empire State under New York Consolidation Laws, Penal Law § 215.40, which states in part:
A person is guilty of tampering with physical evidence when: Believing that certain physical evidence is about to be produced or used in an official proceeding or a prospective official proceeding, and intending to prevent such production or use, he suppresses it by any act of concealment, alteration or destruction, or by employing force, intimidation or deception against any person.
In a post to the X platform on Friday, Donald Trump Jr. described the development as “insanity.”
“How on earth is this not a felony committed by Bragg and his minions? It sure would be if team Trump did it,” he wrote.
“I’d love if we had actual journalists that would report on this ongoing travesty. Sadly, proper journalism is dead. They’re just scribes for the regime,” he added.
