Covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying. It is new York Business records over and over and over again. So here they are reframing this because usually people refer to this as the hush money case. Hey, swear. Yes, hush money was paid to stormy daniels for her to stay quiet about an affair that she had with them candidate trump, but having an affair is not a crime, paying hush money is not a crime. The criminal allegation here is that the former president falsified business records in order to cover up that he had pay this money. Well, what they are starting with matthew colangelos, this is going to become a name that will become very familiar to people. Hes the prosecutor that paul just noted that is making these opening statements and starting them. They are going to lay out all the entire timeline of this and what he just started with is something thats really key, which is a meeting that happened in August 20 that we didnt know about in real time. But we later learn when, once t
Prosecute. The zombie case. Which is one of the issues that Donald Trump has made against them. I wanted to ask chuck also, refresh us about the hush money case, that simply the precurser, is predecessor. This is about Falsifying Documents to keep embarrassing details away from the public. Prosecutors dont necessarily need to prove that Donald Trump was personally involved in falsifying those documents. They just, sort of last week to a husband being guilty if he tired a Hit Man to kill his wife, which was a rather aggressive way to describe him. Talk about how this become a felony. Let me take this in two parts if i may, andrea. So, first, its useful to think about conspiracy law. Even though mr. Trump has been charged with a Conspiracy T prosecutors said in their Opening Statement that a
Falsification of Business Records to The End of impacting what was going to be a very close election. So on every count and the fact that nobody thought it was a case that should be brought, it is true that the previous District Attorney decided not to pursue it and in the beginning, bragg declined. He took office in 2022 and decided not to bring the financial fraud case, but soon he revisited it and very clearly became the architect of a strategy and said multiple times this is not a hush money case. Tried to rebrand it for what it actually is. Is, what the legal accusations are here. What the allegations are. He said hes clearly trying the former president is trying to minimize this. Hes saying this is book keeping, this is a payment to a lawyer. Everybody pays a lawyer. So you pay a lawyer
During the Opening Statement . On the da said if i will be interested in how they set up this case for the jury. Is it a case about Election Interference versus a hush money case. They that it will be the case about Election Interference and this will be the first opportunity to present to the jury the proper frame to think about this case. We should also expect them to give a narrative of what the evidence will show during the case. That should be informative for us because a lot of this is not yet fully known for those of us on the outside looking in. Trumps lawyers will have an opportunity to preview defenses. They havent in the governments entire case. I expect a lot of it will be about michael cohen, Stormy Daniels and a lack of credibility. Let me stick with you one quick second. You said we will see the narrative for the first time. The Opening Statement, is that when we will hear maybe new evidence, things we havent heard before . It is very possible. There is a reason lawyers
Feels entitled to bring this case which is called a hush Money Case its a fairly mundane business Records Case were again President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong. Its absolute crazy its abuse of his office is an abuse of his power and again we believe at the end of the date this is all but Election Interference and that is just shameful. Mark we will be right im a Bird Stuck in larry birds attic. And im goin cuckoo. Hmm. You may be a legend on the court but youre an amateur up here. So get allstate. Save money and be protected from mayhem. Like me
