"NY Prosecutor Pursues Trump Case with Backup Plan Amid Legal Battles"

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg plans to prosecute former President Donald Trump for obscuring his reimbursement of hush money payments by largely relying on campaign laws. However, references to tax law violations in charging documents and public statements suggest that New York prosecutors may be hedging their bets by bringing a broader case against Trump. The case is built on falsification of business records charges, with prosecutors arguing the "unlawful scheme" violated election laws. Trump's attorneys have already begun to counter both.
