During a recent hearing, Trump attorney Emil Bove questioned McConney about an agreement mentioned by Allen Weisselberg in relation to payments made to Michael Cohen. McConney confirmed that he had no knowledge of the specifics of this agreement.

Bove pressed McConney on whether he understood the reference to the agreement, to which McConney responded that he did not. The focus of the questioning seemed to be on the approval of payments, rather than the details of the agreement itself.

The exchange between Bove and McConney shed light on the complexity of the situation surrounding the payments to Cohen. The mention of an agreement between Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump raised questions about the decision-making process behind the payments.

It appears that McConney's role was primarily to ensure that the payments had been approved, rather than to delve into the specifics of any agreements that may have been in place. This highlights the intricate web of relationships and agreements that can come into play in legal matters of this nature.

As the hearing unfolded, it became clear that there were still many unanswered questions surrounding the payments to Cohen and the agreements that may have been involved. The back-and-forth between Bove and McConney underscored the need for further investigation and clarification on these matters.
