Defense Asserts No Misuse of Confidential Funds for Sara Duterte
The defense team claims that there was no misuse of the P612.5-million confidential funds during the Senate impeachment trial.
As the Senate impeachment trial for Vice President Sara Duterte entered its 15th day, her defense team maintained that there was no misuse of the P612.5-million confidential funds. They asserted that the Commission on Audit (COA) did not raise issues regarding the expenditure of funds across different locations on the same day.
The defense emphasized that the 'funny' names appearing in the receipts for the confidential funds were not a concern for the COA, reinforcing their position against the allegations made in the trial.
