Ex-Trump Org exec claims former assistant 'knows a lot more' than she shared on stand
Former Trump Organization executive Barbara Res claimed Tuesday that courtroom testimony from Donald Trump's ex-assistant Rhona Graff didn't include everything she knows.
Graff appeared on the stand last week in the Manhattan hush money trial.
Graff working with Trump's previous assistant, Norma Foerderer. And nothing passed her by, Res said.
"She knew everything. Nothing happened without her," said Res of Foerderer, who has since passed away. "No meeting, no clandestine tryst. Nothing at all. She made arrangements. She saw the people. She made sure people came and went, and no one knew things about it."
Res recalled Foerderer retiring and Graff stepped into her role.
"And I'm pretty certain that Rhona knew all about making meetings with these different women and where they were going to meet," Res continued.
"Just like they all knew about how he set up Marla Maples on his boat in Atlantic City so he could have her down there and moved Ivana up to New York at the plaza. There's a handful of people he ever trusted, and those two are among them.
"So, she knows a lot more than she said."
MSNBC host Katy Tur asked why Trump seems "angry as hell."
Res explained that from her observations, Trump appears to have spent his life "believing that virtually he can't do any wrong. He is above the law. And nothing's ever going to happen to him."

She used the gag orders as an example. A normal person would be in jail for doing what Trump did, she said.
"Everything that he was told not to do, he's doing," said Res. "So, he thinks he can get away with anything. But how does he feel about sitting in a courtroom and having things said about him? He's curious, absolutely, and needs somebody to blame."
"So, he doesn't admit to anything, but now he's got to find someone to blame and ultimately someone to punish," Res said. "Does he fear going to jail? I don't think he's capable of that. I don't think Trump is capable of believing that that could happen to him. Just my opinion."
