Trump's hush money trial set to be nightmare for prosecutors

Tre Lovell, a Los Angeles-based corporate law attorney, broke down the hush money indictment against former President Donald Trump and revealed that the case is extremely weak.

Trump is facing 34 counts of falsifying business records which prosecutors claim were to cover up the payment of $130,000 in hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

Lovell explained, "This hush-money case against Trump is very weak and full of reasonable doubt. It reeks of a desperate attempt to go after Trump by connecting a few dots. Trump has strong defense arguments to rely on, making this an extremely difficult case for the prosecution to win. Trump has a very reasonable alibi motive; hiding the payment was for personal reasons to save his marriage and protect his family, and had nothing to do with the election."

In New York, falsifying business transactions only counts as a misdemeanor but Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has tried to upgrade it to a felony by alleging that Trump's payments were done to cover up another crime, namely, a campaign finance law violation.

As Lovell pointed out, Bragg's assertion that the transactions were done to cover a crime is weak at best because of the personal reasons he mentioned.

Nonetheless, Bragg has staked his career on this case and is going to try and land a conviction with the help of a crooked jury in New York.
