Closing arguments in Trump criminal trial

the closing arguments in Trumps NY-criminal-trial, the so called hush-money-case.
28th may 2024
In his closing arguments, Trump’s attorney said it was Cohen, not the ex-president, who made the decision to pay the $130,000.
Nach der Verteidigung und dem Vortrag der Anklage wird sich die Jury aus zwölf Geschworenen zur Urteilsfindung zurückziehen.
Prosecutors argued before the break that Trump falsified business records with the intent to conceal several crimes, including the violation of election laws and tax laws.
But Donald Trump's lawyers do not want the tax law issues included in the jury instructions. They asked that the allegations that Trump intended to violate tax laws with the hush-money reimbursement be kept out of it.
We heard during witness testimony that Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg doubled the amount of Cohen's reimbursement.
This was allegedly done so that Cohen could get the full amount he paid - $130,000 - for the hush-money payment, after taxes were subtracted.
Emil Bove, Trump's lawyer, argued that there is insufficient evidence that Trump violated tax laws.
