Trump's New York Hush Money Trial conclusion

Donald Trump is facing a historic trial as a criminal defendant in New York for allegedly falsifying business records to conceal damaging information before the 2016 presidential election. The Manhattan DA has struggled to articulate its case, with 34 felony counts against Trump. Testimonies from prominent figures like Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen have been key in the trial. The defense focused on claims that Trump didn't know what he was signing and that expenses were legal, while the prosecution presented a compelling narrative linking Trump to the alleged fraud.
