However, Garten said he knew of no written retainer agreement between Trump and Cohen, though Trump’s attorneys “typically” had them. I don’t think I need to explain how agitated/terrified that made me.Pressed by Hellerstein to prove it, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche called the legal chief of Trump’s company to the witness stand, though attorneys for both sides last week had agreed they would not call witnesses at the hearing.Īlan Garten, the Trump Organization’s chief legal officer, testified that he believed the payments were partly reimbursements for the money that Cohen had paid Daniels, and partly to compensate him for “the role that he was playing as counsel” for Trump’s personal matters. They were telling me that they might have to “rebook the flight” if my bag couldn’t get on. STILL, I had to remove all of my clothes from the bag, and open every single compartment (of which there were many) for them to allow me to get back onto the plane. The staff didn’t believe me citing the infallible logic: “there are ports so there’s a battery.” I told them again and again that the battery had been removed and the charging ports-while there-were inert as they weren’t attached to the battery. I had to then de-board the plane and re-explain to staff that there was no lithium battery in my bag. After everyone had been boarded (half an hour after we’d been scheduled to take off) they then called my name out on the speaker. When they asked me if I had a lithium battery in my bag I said “no.” They then gate checked the bag and allowed me on the plane.
I know that lithium batteries can’t be taken in the underbelly of the plane and I knew my bag would likely be checked at the gate (why I removed the battery and left it at home in the first place). They took me off an already delayed flight after I’d already boarded to examine my smart bag. Cons: "American isn’t my preferred airline for obvious reasons (delays, notoriously bad service, old planes, and a lack of amenities like WiFi and tv’s), but now I’ll never spend my money with them again.
