defenses this area that donald trump may have done this in th past as a pattern of avoidin things, but it was not necessarily to influence a election i think that that recording, air going to hear a number of, times and it is not going to b something that is music to donald trump s ears. suzanne, you covered th trump tax case, alle weisselberg s case what stood out to you toda about the da s charges i think it is interesting that they are looking at a potential state tax charge i still have a lot of question about how that is going to b handled. we know that the legal fees, they claim they were legal fee when they were really th reimbursement to stormy daniels, so we see there that we ve got the books and records charge what i am sort of confused about, and it will b interesting, there was information that came out from bragging today was just very brag about what exactly thei tax crime is he does not say after he ver carefully details how michae cohen s payment was handled. he doe
feeling or any of your delving into this, that we may see indict, parts of thi indictment, be beyond th stormy daniels case, the storm daniels affair, that this ma not be limited to just hus money? that is the big question. because, you know, there i this broader case that vance was looking at where trump, for years systematically overestimated you know, his own wealth and he would underestimate the wealth, the value of its buildings when it came t paying taxes so, it was a constant scheme o fraud. this was the conviction that bragg won in the summer. this is part of what ali talke about winning, that tax scheme conviction, where alle weisselberg and others wer getting free tuition to privat schools for the kids, free cars, and they weren t paying an taxes on it. that was i think a big boost big momentum help for brag t go forward so, yes, we could see some sor
