Trump on Trial New York v. Donald Trump

remember, it was a grand jury that indicted donald trump in this case. and in this indictment he is quoting the first count the grand jury accuses the defendant of falsifying business records in the first degree. the defendant on or about february 14, 2017, attempted to defraud and conceal another crime by falsifying business records of an enterprise. the remaining 33 counts in this indictment count each monthly payment and invoice falsely describing a request for legal services, falsely describing the payment as one for legal services, also falsely describing the nature of the payment. 11 falsified invoices, 11 falsified ledger entries and 12 falsified checks. temidayo, they're jumping right into the details. what stands out to you from how the prosecution is framing all this, the narrative they are creating right now. >> i think they're doing exactly what caroline said, about the upside down pyramid. they started broad and they're

story a number of times. the prosecution is going to present sort of an upside down pyramid here. they're going to go big. that's why they're starting with pecker. they're setting the stage with this scheme they're calling it. as a defense attorney, i feel the need to inform everybody the catch-and-kill process is not illegal. the act in and of itself of keeping information from the public in this manner is not illegal. what is being alleged which is illegal is the way they went about accounting for it, and that it was a campaign contribution above the limit for reporting purposes for the federal election commission. i think the prosecution, again, is going to try to paint this picture of things being generally bad in this area. then they're going to hit the documents, the specific pay stubs and the checks and things like that. >> we understand the opening statements have begun. matthew coangelo is saying good morning to everybody there.
