The Fallout of Trump's Indictment: What's Next?

TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday. The charges stem from his indirect payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in exchange for her keeping quiet about an affair the two allegedly had. Prosecutors will argue that Trump conspired with others to illegally promote his candidacy during the 2016 election and falsified business documents in service of that goal. However, legal experts have expressed skepticism about the election-law theory in particular, and Bragg didn’t explain how he’ll overcome the challenges they’ve identified.
