Legal experts weigh in on Trump's 34-count indictment.

Legal experts say there were no surprises in the charges brought against former President Donald Trump by the Manhattan district attorney, but the expansive nature of the so-called "catch-and-kill" scheme alleged by prosecutors is notable. Trump entered a plea of not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made in the final days of the 2016 presidential race. Prosecutors allege that Trump engaged in a "scheme" to boost his 2016 election chances through a series of hush money payments made by others to help his campaign, and then "repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records" to conceal that criminal conduct.
