This week, the Wall Street Journal opinion section published an op-ed about our #tax coverage.

We don't typically comment on our newsgathering process, but this opinion essay has factual errors in the headline and in the essay that should be corrected.

We've submitted this to their editors:

Confusing: Blanche highlights that “some sort of tax scheme” was involved in the repayment to #MichaelCohen. Prosecution’s theory of the case is that #Trump falsified records to cover up a #conspiracy to #influence the 2016 #election — & one way to prove the conspiracy is that #tax #crimes were involved. It’s unclear why Blanche would draw the jury’s attention to an important aspect of the prosecution’s case.

In his follow-up to this argument about a #tax scheme, #Blanche asks why #MichaelCohen didn’t remember the amount he was meant to be owed each month & why the checks didn’t always come from #Trump. Again, even as he seeks to cast doubt on the prosecution’s argument, he reminds jurors of what the other side wants them to believe.

The prosecution alleges that #Trump was present when his employees hatched a plan to falsify the records, & did not stop them from doing so. The prosecution could even argue that Trump, as the boss, effectively approved the plan & thus caused it.

#Blanche shows the #jury the #tax documents sent to #MichaelCohen & the #IRS as #evidence that the payments to Cohen were all above board.
