There were few #witnesses whose testimony was central to the #crimes charged. One was #MichaelCohen, whose #credibility was attacked by #Trump's lawyer Todd #Blanche.
Another witness —who had no connection to the falsification of business records— was #StormyDaniels, whose #HushMoney from Cohen is what was covered up. Susan Necheles, the defense lawyer w/the most trial experience on Trump's team, worked aggressively to sow doubts about Daniels’s story w/the jury.
In #NewYork, falsifying records is a #misdemeanor, unless the documents were faked to HIDE ANOTHER CRIME. The other crime, prosecutors say (they also presented evidence of other #crimes), was Trump’s 2016 violation of state #ElectionLaw that prohibited #conspiring to aid a #political campaign using “#UnlawfulMeans.”
Justice #Merchan turns to the #crimes w/which #Trump is charged: 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump is charged w/ falsifying records to cover up a second #crime — the violation of a state #ElectionLaw that forbids a #conspiracy to aid any election by “#UnlawfulMeans.” (See above)
Justice #Merchan explains the reason prosecutors charged #Trump w/falsifying business records as a #felony: Because, they say, he covered up a second #crime, violating the state #ElectionLaw that forbids a #conspiracy to aid a person’s #election by #UnlawfulMeans.
Last week, prosecution won a major argument when they argued that the jurors did not have to agree #unanimously on the “unlawful means” (#crimes) they might determine that Trump used.
Confusing: Blanche highlights that “some sort of tax scheme” was involved in the repayment to #MichaelCohen. Prosecution’s theory of the case is that #Trump falsified records to cover up a #conspiracy to #influence the 2016 #election — & one way to prove the conspiracy is that #tax #crimes were involved. It’s unclear why Blanche would draw the jury’s attention to an important aspect of the prosecution’s case.
