seems like it is the attorney’s responsibiility to sign a retainer agreement not the client..
That is correct.
My point is the Trump ledger entry has to be false.
I think the prosecutor wants to argue this was “really” a payment to Stormy Daniels.
Or even just that it wasn’t a “retainer”.
I don’t think the ledger entry was false just because it used the word “retainer”. It was in fact a payment to Cohen, not to Daniels.
