- Opening statements began in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial on Monday.
- Trump faces 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in the historic case.
- “This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a coverup,” ADA Matthew Colangelo said.
Opening arguments in Donald Trump’s historic criminal trial got underway on Monday with a prosecutor describing the case as being about a “criminal conspiracy,” while a defense attorney for the former president likened hush-money payments to “democracy.”
“This case is about a criminal conspiracy and a coverup,” Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo told the 12-person Manhattan jury in the hush-money trial.
Prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office allege Trump illegally falsified business records by covering up a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.
Also, you shouldn’t believe Michael Cohen because he’s a liar who went to jail! (for making and then lying about illegal hush money payments for Trump, lol)
Or Stormy Daniels who is a porn star who has a grudge! (yeah, the porn star Trump made illegal hush money payments to after sleeping with her, lol)
Besides, none of what they say matters! (none of the facts matter? lol!)
Also, you should believe trump because he’s a shining beacon of truth and who’s honesty is beyond reproach.
