“That is exactly what this case is about: 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes,” said Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. “These are felony crimes in New York state no matter who you are.'
Bragg added that Trump “repeatedly” made false statements on New York business records, and that Trump allegedly “lied again and again to protect their interests and evade the laws to which we’re all held accountable.” He also said that the scheme involved Trump and others making “three payments to people who claimed to have negative information about Donald Trump,” and that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was made to “hide damaging information.
Bragg is the first prosecutor to bring criminal charges against a former United States president. Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was convicted for his role in the hush money payment in 2018. Cohen named Trump as the mastermind behind the plot to pay off Daniels, but the case was put on ice during Trump’s presidency.
that he brings forth cases “when they’re ready,” and that after conducting a “rigorous, thorough investigation, the case was ready to be brought.”
