Original Note:
This claim is not correct. Falsifying business records is itself a crime. The charges were elevated to felonies because the crimes were in furtherance of another crime: conspiring to interfere in the 2016 election. The jury had to unanimously agree on this, and did. https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2024/05/30/trump-convicted-of-felony-in-hush-money-trial-heres-what-happens-next-live-updates/?sh=518733b39fb5
