Mini Section: What Does "Falsifying Business Records" Mean Here?

All 34 New York charges relate to one scheme:

  • Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen paid $130,000 to adult film star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election
  • Daniels alleged a 2007 affair with Trump (which he denies)
  • Trump's team recorded these payments as "legal fees" in business records to hide the true purpose
  • Under New York law, falsifying records to conceal another crime elevates it to a felony

"Trump was guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, becoming the first ever President to be convicted of a felony."

Mini Section: What Is the Georgia RICO Charge?
