it is 10:00 a.m. in new york i m lindsey riser and this morning huge new questions swirls as the historic case against president trump launches into a new phase the prosecutor alleging new information at the center of the charges. he s not saying what that information is, something trump s legal team is already pouncing on. i mean, where are the underlying charges the indictment actually did not list what these underlying charges are. trump overnight lashing out at both the judge and district attorney, despite warnings from the judge to avoid dangerous rhetoric did his comments last night cross the line, and what does all this mean for his presidential campaign? breaking news out of missouri, multiple people are dead after a suspected tornado strike in the southeastern part of the state, the search for survivors. a double barrel seismic shift in politics, progressives in chicago and wisconsin scoring massive electoral victories, first by electing former teacher br
because the d.a. alleged trump chitte committed crimes in furtherance of a second crime, there s no second crime listed here in this document in the statement of facts what does that tell you here about the strategy i think, again, alvin bragg was asked about that yesterday, why didn t you mention the second crime, and he said at this stage in the game, we don t have to. all we have to do is allege that he intended to commit or conceal another crime. there will likely come a point in the case either because trump s lawyers move for what s called a bill of particulars, that s more detail about the theory of the case or as we reach the evidentiary stage. there are a couple of possibilities. one is a violation of state election law that prohibits conspiracies to promote or prevent any one person s election to public office through unlawful mean. the other is possible campaign finance violations on the federal level, and the third is an intent to commit tax fraud between michael cohen, a
