Banker Gary Farro testified that he got an urgent message from Michael Cohen on October 13, 2016.

According to Farro, Cohen needed to quickly create a new business named Resolution Consultants LLC.

"My understanding was it was a real estate consulting company," Farro testified.

According to prosecutors, Resolution Consultants LLC was the shell company that Cohen planned to use to pay for the exclusive rights to Karen McDougal's story in which she claimed to have had a yearlong sexual relationship with Trump.

Farro walked through the paperwork used to create the Delaware-based company, including a description, which said it was a consulting firm to offer "strategy, PR and marketing." He collected Cohen's signature and an affirmation that the company would not involve political fundraising.

"[It] would be something the bank wants to know," Farro said on the stand about political contributions, adding that it would trigger an additional review by the bank.

Farro said that while the company was established, it was never funded. Prosecutors allege that the deal that prompted the creation of the account -- paying National Enquirer parent AMI for the McDougal story -- fell through at the last minute.

A few weeks later, Farro received another phone call from Cohen on October 26, 2016.

"He stated he was changing course," Farro said. Prosecutor Becky Mangold asked if Cohen made the call seem urgent.

"Every time Michael Cohen spoke to me, he gave a sense of urgency," Farro said. "This is one of those times."

Farro testified he was busy at the time -- "I was at a golf course, very cliche for a banker" -- but a colleague handled Cohen's request for the paperwork for a new company called Essential Consultants LLC.

In the paperwork, Cohen described it as a "real estate consulting company to collect fees for investment consulting work he does for real estate deals," Farro said.

According to prosecutors, Cohen that day transferred $131,000 from a personal home equity line of credit into an account for Essential Consultants LLC.

The next day, Cohen transferred $130,000 from that account to a lawyer for Stormy Daniels, prosecutors allege.

Farro's testimony is expected to continue when court resumes on Tuesday. The proceedings have adjourned until then.

Gary Farro, formerly a senior managing director at First Republic Bank, testified that he first met Michael Cohen when Cohen became a banking client of his in 2015, after one of Farro's colleagues left the bank.

Asked why Cohen was assigned to him, Farro cited his "ability to handle individuals who might be a little challenging."

"Frankly, I didn't find him that difficult," Farro remarked.

First Republic Bank had a branch across the street from Trump Tower, where Cohen worked. Farro said Cohen frequently visited the bank and eagerly told him that he worked for Trump.

"He was a lawyer or is a lawyer. I am not sure," Farro said about Cohen, who was disbarred in 2019.

Prosecutors are now walking through First Republic Bank's policies for retaining documents. Prosecutors plan to use Farro as a custodial witness to authenticate records that will be used as evidence.

Following the conclusion of Rhona Graff's testimony, prosecutors called Gary Farro as their next witness.

Farro currently works at Flagstar Bank. He said he is testifying voluntarily, though he said he received a subpoena prior to his testimony.

"It was election fraud, pure and simple," prosecutor Matthew Colangelo told the jury during opening statements as he outlined the hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and how it was logged by the Trump Organization

Dylan Howard, then editor of the National Enquirer, had called Trump attorney Michael Cohen to inform him about Daniels and the story that she had of a sexual liaison with Trump, which the former president has long denied.

"Cohen then discussed the situation with Trump who is adamant that he did not want the story to come out," Colangelo said. "it could have been devastating to his campaign."

At the time, Trump and the campaign were "deeply concerned" about the "Access Hollywood" video, the prosecutor said. Cohen wired the $130,000 to Daniels' lawyer to keep her quiet.

"Cohen made that payment at Donald Trump's direction and for his benefit and he did it with the special goal of influencing the election
This was not spin or communications strategy. This was a planned, coordinated long-running conspiracy to influence the 2016 election to help DT get elected through illegal expenditures to silence people who had something bad about his behavior. It was election fraud, pure and simple," Colangelo said.
