The records related to the reimbursement underpin the 34 counts of falsifying business records: 11 counts involve the checks issued to Mr. Cohen, 11 center on monthly invoices Mr. Cohen submitted to the company, and 12 involve entries in the general ledger for Mr. Trump’s trust.
This is the charge stacking I mentioned previously, if I am understanding things correctly.
The claim in DJT paid 130k, from campaign finances as "legal fees" to protect his election chances.
As I understand it, which may be the problem as I am not a lawyer, the first 11 charges are because the hush money was broken up into 11 payments. Then the next 11 were for the paperwork submitted to DJT, documenting the payments, and the remaining charges being the documentation on DJT's side.
It just stinks, as I understand it.
Maybe I am wrong, but if they did that to anyone else we would say the DA is out to get him and trying to railroad the guy.
But maybe I am not seeing something?
