Original Note:
Factual error. The 34 counts are based on a single $130,000 payment which is a Class A Misdemeanor under NY Law. Bragg charged Trump with a felony, without precedent. https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/PEN/175.05 https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/03/30/turley_on_chilling_trump_indictment_if_this_is_the_standard_trump_will_not_be_the_last_president_indicted.html The case was also dropped by federal prosecutors and only subsequently taken up by Bragg. https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/jordan-comer-steil-demand-communications-documents-and-testimony-manhattan-da
