A Brooklyn man appears to be having fun with former President Donald Trump’s lawyers by misquoting him at his trial in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush’ money case.
Trump, 77, has denied a 34-count indictment related to falsifying business records over a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels for their alleged affair.
Attorney Todd Blanche, who represents the former president in this case, sent a subpoena to a man they thought was Manhattan investigator Jeremy Rosenberg in March to obtain files related to former Trump confidant and fixer Michael Cohen.
Rosenberg used to investigate financial crimes for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
However, Trump’s defense team appears to have sent the subpoena to Brooklyn man Jeremy Rosenberg, who emphasized that he is a different person by emailing them: “I don’t have any records for you.”

Attorney Todd Blanche, who represents the former president in this case, sent a subpoena to a man they thought was Manhattan investigator Jeremy Rosenberg in March to obtain files related to former Trump confidant and fixer Michael Cohen.
However, Trump’s defense team appears to have sent the subpoena to Brooklyn man Jeremy Rosenberg, who emphasized that he is a different person by emailing them: “I don’t have any files for you.”
According to a lawyer document released Monday, he appears to have taken the brazenness a step further.
He wrote: ‘PS – The phone number you provided was disconnected’ before adding ‘PPS – I’ll keep the fifteen dollars’ in reference to the amount the lawyers sent him so he could send them the documents.
Blanche has complained that the Rosenberg they have been trying to contact has shown a “frivolous” attitude towards the process.
However, prosecutor Matthew Colangelo says his team believes they got the wrong person.
‘The people spoke with Mr. Rosenberg’s attorney, who informed them that, in fact, Mr. Rosenberg was not served with the subpoena, that Mr. Rosenberg had not corresponded with defense counsel, and that Mr. Rosenberg It has no connection. to the Brooklyn address where the subpoena was allegedly served,” Colangelo said in the filing.
The Rosenberg the Trump team wants to talk to wants to ask him about his suspension in 2023 for sharing his communications about Cohen with Bragg’s office, according to the New York Post.
He previously worked on prosecution by the office of Trump ally Steve Bannon.

Monday will put parts of Donald Trump’s real estate empire on the line. Jury selection will also begin in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush’ money case.
The payment to Daniels was made just days before the 2016 election and prosecutors say it represented an illegal campaign contribution.
The trial was supposed to begin March 25, but was delayed until at least mid-April after the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan released more than 200,000 pages of evidence from its investigation into Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal lawyer.
Trump and his lawyers also criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the case, for attempting to withhold information that would damage Cohen’s credibility.
If the trial goes ahead, it will be the first of four criminal cases Trump faces.
He is charged with election interference in a Washington court for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection, but the case is on hold pending the Supreme Court’s ruling on whether he has immunity.
Trump faces trial in Florida for mishandling classified documents, but he is plagued by delays and a tentative trial date appears unlikely to be set this summer.
He is also accused of interfering in the elections in Georgia, although a date has not yet been set and prosecutors have been embroiled in accusations of inappropriate behavior.
Trump has said he has no money to pay despite claiming he is worth billions of dollars.
