In a stunning revelation, it has come to light that the prosecutor at the center of former President Donald Trump's so-called "hush money" trial in New York received a total of $12,000 from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for consulting work in 2018. According to Federal Election Commission records, the DNC paid Matthew Colangelo two $6,000 payments in January 2018 for "political consulting."

Colangelo, who was previously a deputy in the office of New York Attorney General Eric Scheiderman and later served in the Biden Justice Department, now finds himself in the spotlight of a high-profile case. This case involves allegations that Trump falsified business records to conceal the true nature of payments made to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, in an effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.

The payments from the DNC to Colangelo have raised eyebrows and sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest in the Trump prosecution. Critics have been quick to point out that this connection could call into question the impartiality of the prosecutor and the trial itself.

However, supporters of Colangelo argue that his past work for the DNC has no bearing on his current role as a prosecutor and his ability to carry out his duties fairly and impartially. They maintain that his professional integrity remains intact and that the case against Trump is based on solid evidence and the rule of law.

This revelation comes at a time when the Trump trial is already under intense scrutiny, with the former president facing 34 felony counts related to the hush money scandal. As the trial unfolds, the public and the media will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this latest development affects the proceedings and the public perception of the case.
