Assessing the Strength of the Case Against Donald Trump
TL;DR Summary
Legal experts are divided on the strength of the 34 felony charges against former US President Donald Trump, which were unsealed on Tuesday in Manhattan's criminal court. The charges relate to payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels by former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in exchange for her silence over an alleged affair with Trump a decade earlier. While some experts believe the case is strong, others argue that Trump has strong defences he can assert to the charges. The main question the charges raise is what alleged secondary crime the falsification of business records were done in service to.
