Deep dives
The First Indictment: Hush Money Case
The first indictment against Donald Trump revolved around alleged hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels, which involved the falsification of business records in New York. This case was significant as it posed a legal challenge regarding whether these payments were intended to cover up campaign finance violations, thus elevating a misdemeanor to a felony. The jury ultimately convicted Trump on 34 counts linked solely to these various checks, indicating a finding of guilt not just on the act itself, but into how Trump’s organization handled such controversial dealings. This case, considered a politically charged prosecution, opened a window into the operational ethics of the Trump organization and raised questions about the legality of its practices.
