Rhona Graff: Long-time Trump Organization employee testifies against Donald Trump in hush money trial
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Long-time Trump Organization employee Rhona Graff, who is also considered a "gatekeeper" to former President Donald Trump, has testified on Friday, April 26, in the hush money case against him.
New York prosecutor Susan Hoffinger asked Graff if she ever saw adult film actress Stormy Daniels in the office at Trump Tower. The senior vice president of the Trump Organization said she had a “vague recollection" of seeing her in the reception area before the 2016 election.
