28. Bragg will have no problem proving a misdemeanor,

Thu Mar 9, 2023, 08:23 PM

Mar 2023

Cohen took out a 130k loan to pay Stormy Daniels and Trump paid Cohen back in 35k payments and illegally claimed as payment to Cohen for services rendered. The problem will be to prove the campaign finance violation to New York (the felony). This would have been much easier to prove in federal court because the federal law is written differently.

Will Trump succeed in moving the trial out of Manhattan?

Pomerantz and Dunne were going to charge more financial fraud crimes, will Bragg leave them off?

Lots of questions to still be answered. Just prosecuting Trump for a misdemeanor will be a mistake.
