And the whole premise of falsifying business records, we’ll see what the jury decides. This is not uncommon in the business world. The total alleged reimbursement to Cohen was $460k, which Defense says was paid as part of legal retainer fees while Bragg says no.
What the prosecution would prove beyond a reasonable doubt is absolute documents or agreements that demonstrate the $460k was paid to Cohen, Trump’s personal atty and self-titled as ‘the fixer’, as specific payment to Cohen to reimburse these actions and without his knowledge. Just accusing him for paying his legal counsel with a written record delineating the specifics of the reimbursable doesn’t hold much water imo, but I’m not a juror.
