New Yorker says he's confused on Trump charges

- Donald Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying business records in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through hush money payments to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
Jurors deliberated for 9.5 hours over two days before convicting Trump of all 34 counts he faced. Trump sat stone-faced as the verdict was being read, while cheering from the street below - where supporters and detractors of the former president were gathered - could be heard in the hallway on the 15th floor of the courthouse.

34 felonies and still can't say what he did wrong.
Are you speaking about the courts or this man that don't know what the charges are.
Exactly what I was saying all the time people are not paying attention
He was set up
There is NO CRIME
Essentially, he illegally used campaign funds to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels and disguised it as legal fees. This was done in order to illegally influence the 2016 election.
Not only that, Trump's defense team wasn't allowed to know either. So how could they defend him?
The whole thing is a sham just to imprison a political rival. Nothing more. Nothing less.
America is not blind.
That's why we voted Trump out!
Unfortunately just enough of America is dumb though..
@@bronxstar3991trump 2024 political persicution by a two tiered justice system, ugly corrupt bs
@@bronxstar3991So let me ask you an honest question without bringing any type of political ideology into this. Do you feel like Biden has done a better job than trump?
Blind in one eye.
This prosecutor changed every legality to get this conviction. We still don't know what the underlying crime was.
The conviction. Was for falsifying business records to cover up the payments to Storm Daniels for her silence. The campaign did not want the public to find out about Stormy and Trump’s tryst or his longer affair with Playmate Karen McDougal before the election.
Look it up d u m m y. Not that hard to understand.
@@Just-Jakes You can say, without a doubt, why Trump paid this blackmail money?? Is it not reasonable to think he paid off this blackmail scheme to hide this from his family??
@@Just-Jakes so you don’t know either, but just want to insult other people on the internet. 👍🏼
@trailingrails9953 Falsifying business records. You want more info, look up the court documents.🙄
Not even all NY'ers are blind to obvious BS.
Only educated ones see thru the smoke and mirrors!
Because the media kept calling it a "hush money" trial, most people didn't know it was really about how Trump kept two sets of books to hide it from the FEC which is a felony. His ignorance is understandable.
Luckily the entire US hasn't devolved into the MAGA cult.
Half of America don't know half of what's going on around them.
and I have yet to see a republican that still support's him have any clue as to what is going on!!! Just a whole lot of bitching and whining from those who have no clue or substance!!!!
And they call themselves MAGA!
To be fair…the other half doesn’t know half of what’s going on half of the time either 🥑🥝🌗🌓🍠
The Trump half. No higher education that 12th grade.
@@bethanystock9995 I’m a Republican. Would you care to educate me on what’s going on? Let’s see what you know 🤷♂️
Embarrassing for America 🇬🇧
Yes it is embarrassing. Our justice system favors the rich. Anybody else would be in jail right now having that many felonies. He's a grifter/dictator and a crook. "I just need 11,000 votes"-Trump while on the phone with Georgia Republican Secretary of State during the last election that he LOST.
Now Trump can better understand how family law courts function, the verdict is already decided before the documents are filed.
What is embarrassing is that of all the amazing people we have in the US, we have the worst candidates.
That's nothing wait till he meets his maker. Satan needs a VP.
HOW IN THE HE!! DID THAT CASE BECOME A FELONY?????
Weaponized judicial system
Only when your side loses though, right? When the other guys get sent to jail, guilt is immaterial, just 'the system working as intended'
It has been weaponized against people of color for years and now it's a problem?
@@Darasilverdragon So, you think Trump "lost"? Typical short-sighted Democrat. lol
@@Darasilverdragon
The problem is that to make it a felony crime, it has to be tied to another crime. We do not know what that other crime was.
I agree. It is disgusting what Trump and the GOP has done to the Supreme Court.
crooked judge.... crooked court.... crooked D.A....he got railroaded..... this country sucks now ! 😡
What a crybaby. You sound like a 5yr old.
Crooked democrats
It will be declared a mistrial. The jury leaked the verdict.
Crooked administration
Sucks now?..........
This bullshit has been happening to Americans for a very long time
November 5th is the real decision.
Yep! And that will reinforce the verdict!
VOTE TRUMP OR RFK..The Dems have become elitists who feel they can dictate who we vote for, to have only one opinion,THEIR OPINION...they have become the weirdo party..and I was a 45 year Dem..It's frightening how creepy theyve become.
Don't forget about the classified documents 😮
@@bluesbrother2383you mean the same classified documents that Biden, Barry, Bush and Clinton had in their houses? 😮
MAGA 🇺🇸
This is what a normal person calls the foundation of a Dictatorship.
Yea ask any survivors of nazi Germany how that went
Nah, a dictatorship would be allowing a criminal go free because he was president and trying to overturn an election
Hopefully trump loses the election so we don’t have a dictator in office.
So what is having criminal leader immune from the law?
@berlinkozyreva you mean the current guy who isn't going to be prosecuted for having classified documents and is prosecuting his political adversary?
Those who grew up in banana republic dictatorships are familiar with this way of ‘handling’ a potential political opponent. Despite their claims to the contrary, the facts show very clearly that our current regime has absolutely nothing to do with real democracy. The LAST thing they want to do is give the people a chance to vote for whoever they want.
And they rigged up the last election to do just that, shadiest most controversial election in history and absolutely nothing about it saw the inside of a courtroom or a Congressional Inquiry, just a rumor of Russian collusion and subpoenas were flying all over the place with people getting drug in front of a Congressional Inquiry and forced to testify, but the most controversial election in history with a questionable outcome and it's "Move along, nothing to see here".
Yea right, that was the day America died.
Trump's a crook with a long and crooked history. No surprise at all. Lock him up.
True. Gerrymandering, cutting early voting, making absentee vote drop boxes hard to get to, even not allowing giving water to people waiting to vote. All these (Republican) efforts to suppress voting.
@@VSE4me1
Yea nonsense, nobody's ever had any problems voting where I'm from, and that's because on election day they go to the voting centers and vote instead of staying at home and whining that it's too difficult.

This guy is an example of what normal Americans think about this case
Most of US are pretty clear Trump violated tons of campaign finance laws, tax laws and falsified tons of business records to CHEAT in 2016 in order to win the presidential campaign. Not confusing at all.
Yeah normal Americans are clueless and only go by where they get their news from. Read the indictments and read the verdicts. Stop being lazy
only in your bubble champ
Magats are below average.
Not true- normal Americans are highly supportive of the judicial system and a jury’s work. Trump did illegal things and was found guilty- pull the court docs to see charges
He knows well more than half of Americans on these charges, probably the most level headed New Yorker when it comes to this case. It's rather ridiculous how these charges were upgraded to a felony, although there is so much else that is messed up about this case as well.
I think you’re confusing level headed with moronic .
No one knows what he's guilty of, it's because he isn't.
Desperation is obvious and predictable.They just keep taking the bait 😂
🤫☺️🙏🏾✨🕊️
I agree, and confused doesn’t even begin to describe how most people are feeling.
That's because you let others "explain everything"
He committed tax fraud and falsified business records trying to cover it up over 30 times. 175.10 ny penal code
How do you know how.most Americans feel ?
No you are incorrect it is not how most people are feeling at all... here let me explain it to you so you can understand::,, in a nutshell... he was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree which is a felony in the state of New York... the state presented his case the defense rebutted and he was found guilty by a jury of his peers.... it's not complicated. Basically, he cooked the books all in an effort to keep the affair with a pornstar quiet so the American people didn't find out.... I hope this is simple enough so that you can understand
Take 5 minutes and read any legal analysis of the charges. You'll learn a thing or two.
@@timcornelius1912it's only Maga
The perception that the media shows is the overwhelmingly vast majority of voters think justice was served but what I’m seeing is the opposite.. everyone I talk to is in line with this gentleman.
sounds like an echo chamber.
Your cult45 bubble is not the vast majority.
You need to find some people who aren't morons to talk to. Statute of limitations? This crime was committed in 2016 and couldn't be pursued against Trump till 2020. Cohen went to prison for his part in it. In fact, Trump had Cohen thrown back in jail when he was released... so even Trump thinks participants in the crime deserve jail time.
Mainstream media lies.
They turned something not illegal into a misdemeanor that they stretched into 34 felonies.
This was a misdemeanor and well past the statute of limitations. Yet they charged him with felonies and got the verdict they wanted. Shocker. The justice system is a joke.
@@BobbyJGLG9265A sausage cut into 34 slices is still a single sausage. The FEC, SDNY, previous Manhattan DA (Vance) and Bragg HIMSELF on an earlier occasion looked at this tripe and refused to indict. If this is your idea of standard judicial procedure and the results make you laugh remember what you said when its your turn.
What you just said was factually incorrect. It was not a misdemeanor. Nor was it past the statute of limitations.
And your misinformation is the biggest jome

Still blows my mind they don’t care how corrupt they look in Americans citizens eyes.
They will care in November
Makes me think they already have November rigged.
You're right. I don't believe that they think 🤔 that they are doing anything wrong.
Who looks corrupt in Americas eyes? The dude that lied, claimed legal expenses for paying out his mistress, the one he denied having sex with but paid out the big books.
Or the courts that followed the letter of the law ?
So you live in a world where the human rights catastrophe in GAZA didn't happen? That's wild.
Imagine not understanding when you have no idea what is going on.
They are too lazy to educate themselves to the facts of the case. They will listen to Hannity, Levin or FOX and Friends and actually think they know something, when they don't. Their ignorance makes them tools. I consider it a small case compared to the others, but it is still breaking the law, nonetheless. Go to your local courthouse, you will see many pretty cases prosecuted, that is just how the justice system works sometimes. If you don't like the law, change it. You know, like the Supreme court made bribes to politicians legal, that kind of thing. Used to be against the law, now it is not unless there is absolute evidence of a quid pro quo. A receipt for the bribe, and what the Republican will do in exchange.
enlighten us?
I'm voting for Donald Trump.
enlighten us animae child.
"Animae child"? Funny thing about my avatar it is an single art cover to a song from a band you have heard and most likely enjoyed. Stay dumb my friend.
Let's take a $120k bookkeeping misdemeanor error from a billionaire and upgrade it to 34 felony charges after statue of limitations has expired on whatever the f this is...yeah, people see it for what it is. Even more so that jurors were talking about guilty conviction openly before they even deliberated.
Not even from a billionaire, the crooked ass lawyer lied on his invoice, and the accounting department took him at his word and paid him for legal services.
Trump’s only involvement is signing the check that accounting handed him
Lets see...
Trump slept with a porn star while his wife was pregnant. That part's not a crime, just grounds for divorce...
Trump also slept with a Playboy Playmate, also not a crime.
Cohen paid the porn star $130K for the rights to her story so it wouldn't get printed before the election. That part's not a crime, except for the part about hiding the truth during the election. Cohen spent three years in jail for his part in the conspiracy.
The National Enquirer paid the Playmate $150K for her story, and Cohen was involved in that deal as well.
Trump paid Cohen back $420K with checks that were recorded as 'legal expense' in the business records but there was no retainer agreement. Just because you paid a lawyer to break the law for you doesn't make it a 'legal expense', that's more like an 'illegal expense' ..
But don't forget ten percent for the Big Guy... 😂
Send Trump all your money so he can defend himself against the other 50 some felonies . Please !
@@michaelblankenau6598 if you can get 34 felonies for a writing a single check to pay a lawyer who lied on his bill…. I’m kinda surprised that a guy like trump who writes hundreds of checks each month isn’t facing more charges
This is crazy
check all their bank accounts
They could've charged Trump with genocide & they'd still find him guilty.
a Democrat - DOJ - DA - Judge & Jury.
The jurors were either bribed or threatened imo
Just democrats, which is worse
SOROS paid them millions for sure.. All New Yorkers jurors$$$$
The Judge and DA BANK ACCOUNT MUST BE LOADED
The jurors were vetted from a pool of randomly selected 300 people who Trumps defense agreed on.
Let me ask you one question. Don't all the country's DA's push down ever felonies they can to misdemeanors, but in this case they pushed up from misdemeanors to felonies. Why is that I ask?
Absolutely 💯
One thing most Americans don't like is unfairness. This case reeks of it.
They were misdemeanors, reclassed to felonies over the statute of limitations and did not require a unanimous jury decision.Which are all unprecedented and unconstitutional
None of that is true. Start listening to REAL lawyers, not Fox entertainers.
IT was rigged from the start, worse than a used car dealership rigging the transmission to just make it to your house or off the lot, Then you stuck with a no good car as/is sale for sure!!!!!!!!!
12 people convicted Trump of all 34 charges. 12 of 12 in each of the 34 charges. I really don't know where you get your misinformation.
@@frankskeen1310 NONE OF IT WAS RIGGED! Get over it. Legit investigations, legit grand jury, in which regular, randomly selected people heard evidence that warranted an indictment. Trump had a YEAR to prepare, and then we had a legit trial, which concluded fairly. 12 randomly selected jurors heard the evidence. Those 12 were picked fairly by BOTH sets of lawyers. There was nothing rigged about that. They're the ones that convicted Trump, not Biden, not the DOJ, not the Democrats, not the prosecutor!!!
Ask yourself this: with a year to prepare, why didn't Trump have a defense? He offered no documentation to support his "innocence." They only had one (really bad) witness. And Trump didn't testify in his own defense. Nor did his sons or any other of his employees.
Why can't you put 2 and 2 together. He had his day in court, to tell his side, to prove his innocence. He just didn't. Because he was guilty. Case close. Geezus, he even confessed to these crimes several times in public!
DEAL WITH IT, AND STOP LYING ABOUT IT!!
It did require a unanimous jury decision. All the jurors agreed he was guilty (the instruction Trump is complaining about had to do with they did not all have to agree with the exact felony he falsified the documents to cover up. But they all had to agree he falsified the documents to cover up one of the 3 felonies)
And it is a felony to falsify documents to cover up a crime, that has been NY law for a long time. The novel part of this case was trying the falsification felonies without the underlying crime, and trying it in state court when the underlying crime was federal. However, it is not thaaaat out of line with how prosecutor's offices regularly operate
We the people are fed up with the selective prosecution
They selected a criminal.
QUE WHO? KNOWS CHARGES??. 😌
Bring it, cleetus.
Yes we are!
Hold on there; please don't say "we the people" say "we, Trump's brainwashed, deluded ,poorly educated idiotic people"

34 misdemeanors upgraded to felonies.
No, one misdemeanor upgraded to 34 felony counts for the exact same thing.
It’s complicated legal horseshit but basically Trump signed one check and Alvin Bragg is counting it 34 different times
Trump upgraded them with other crimes. These were all ruled on. Unanimously. Beyond a reasonable doubt. Justice isn’t something you get to decide. It’s not injustice just because you don’t get your way. He shouldn’t have committed the crimes and you shouldn’t have sold your principles to a criminal.
Do you prefer to just call him a criminal? If that makes you feel better you can. I am curious with your background in law, can you explain the differences between what he did being a misdemeanor and a felony? Did you actually read any of the 34 convictions or did you just let your propaganda news sources tell you what and how to think?
@@kevink2020 did you? Or did you just let your propaganda source tell you what to think??? The difference between a misdemeanor and a felony here is Alvin Bragg choosing to tell you that it was done in the furtherance of an additional crime….. which the prosecution conveniently didn’t touch on until closing argument where they gave the jury a smorgasbord of options to choose from and then the judge reinforce that by giving them the option to not agree on what they think the crime was… as long as they all agree something might be a crime.
So to recap, paying someone for an NDA is perfectly legal, paying a lawyer to write an NDA is perfectly legal …. BUT If your name is Donald Trump, Alvin Bragg will argue that it’s illegal for you to have an NDA and paying your lawyer is a crime…. BECAUSE Bragg says it is.

How could you think he was gonna be guilty if you didn’t know what the charges were
Multiple messages were sent out by the Trump campaign over the last year. "This is a rigged trial" meaning that even if he was innocent (he's not) he would be found guilty. That dry even if he did *something* like payoff Daniels it wasn't illegal, and if it was it was so long ago it shouldn't matter and if it does then how is it a felony? And why didn't Clinton get charged then?
These messages worked, people are confused why he is charged and what with and everything is hard!
But it's really not that confusing it's just good propaganda to people who wanted to hear it.
He didn't necessarily think Trump was guilty; he did understand that he would be found guilty because he saw the set up.
It's very sad when a candidate for a president doesn't know reality, truth or facts. They certainly know what Donald tells them especially all his lies.
Because of the corruption
PLEASE understand that he means he believed all the jurors would be NYC Dems out to stop his election by "making" his verdict "guilty" as the party would want. He knew they would never allow him an unbiased trial bc so many NYC "peers" are die-hard party liners. They still believe that DEMOCRATS defeated the South and freed slaves. They truly believe it!! 🤣
Nobody knows what they convicted him of! It's ridiculous and a huge injustice! Makes me sick!

Hell, let's be real, democrats have been after Trump for 7+ f*****g years.
34 charges one for each check and documrnt his lawyer filed in the SAME manhattan courthouse, for a perfectly normal NDA.... very common paperwork.
Except Cuomo during the Me Too movement changed the filing rules... for a new york (and now michigan in 2021) politicians... and only for politicians, it is NOT a legal expense, but a 'campaign contribution' for everyone else in and out of New York, the paperwork is filed as a 'legal expense'...
Trumps crime is that his lawyer filed paperwork 'incorrectly' and he paid taxes on that paperwork when he was supposed to get a tax deduction for it.
Thats the 'crime'.. he overpaid taxes and filed something as he would in 48 of the states he was elected to...
Remember, trump never ran for office in new york... he ran for Federal office, so does new yorks laws even apply here?
Alvin Bragg elevated the state misdemeanor charge to a federal felony charges, through a state court, not a federal court, violating the 6th ammendment.
Falsifying Business Records and Fraud were 2 charges.On its own, falsifying records in the second degree is a misdemeanor. However, the charge transforms into a felony if the person accused is convicted of falsifying business records intending to commit another crime or to aid or conceal a crime committed. Nothing to do with him having an affair but everything to do with him getting his lawyer to pay the hush money then claiming it a legal expenses, which it wasn't. Michael Cohen went to PRISON for Trump's part in this.
@@kevinsears7300 Exactly, I get a deduction every time I sleep with a porn star!
@@kevinsears7300 I'm sure you've heard of State's Rights. Regardless the Hush Money Case running for office does include the Presidency and NY Penal Code 175.10 does indicate a misdemeanor but becomes a felony upon the commission of other crimes. This why it was never taken up by the DOJ and the 6th Amendment is not applicable here.

When even some Democrats are confused about the charges , something is wrong!
You think that’s a democrat 😂
No confusion. The confusion is on your part. Read the charges in the indictment and hopefully you will understand the charges. If you make the effort to read the closing argument from the prosecution and follow the sequence of events, objectively, you will reach the same conclusion. Unfortunately, for you and the rest of us, trump did not take the stand, after boasting he would. Shame he didn't, because if he did, a verdict would have be returned in an hour after the jury was tasked with deliberation. Read the transcript of what actually was said in court. Don't listen to the news. Read the transcript. It's all there for all to read and decide.
Facts
@@ottosparky as you did and still came to the wrong conclusion,the 34 counts of business fraud is so much worse than being a traitor to our nation,do you really see how clueless you are??or does that just come with being a traitor???
True Democrats are not the problem here, the problem is the woke mob, extreme liberals and the radical who all call themselves Democrats, when in fact they are just extreme radicals
"a lot of people feel the way that I ..."

Total sham. This is the end of the justice system.
The total sham was the packing of the Supreme Court. Not a jury of his peers convicting him.
Really? How so? Trump’s lawyers were an active part of the jury selection process. Any other person with 10 counts of contempt of court would already be locked up. Let’s not forget that Cohen already served time for the crime Trump just got convicted for.
Well that is their goal to destroy our justice system
The justice system was gone long ago which is why filthy rich politicians never get questioned about their suddenly acquired wealth. This case is ushering in our new banana republic. That’s the only difference. They no longer care to hide their cards in this game.
Do you realize it was American citizens on a jury chosen by both sides that sat down and decided with the evidence given that trump was guilty?
No one knows what he is guilty of! Join the club!
Bogus charges, bogus conviction.
THE JUDGE MARCHAN let the Prosecution have 21 Witnesses and only Allowed TRUMP 2 WITNESSES and didn't let the 2nd Witness answer questions from the Defense.

They were misdmeanors
Convicted unanimously by a jury of his peers, who were picked with equal input from Trumps legal counsel, on charges that were fully laid out and explained in court to the jury by one of the most fair and impartial judges I've seen. Tell me you know nothing about anything and just label everything as a conspiracy without telling me.

I echo this 100%. That and how did all 12 people convict on 34 counts in 48 hours? Are they lame, lazy, just not that smart, no ability to think, intimidated???
I'd say they were all paid off and now they're all Soros idiots!
The jury instructions were perfectly designed for the verdict handed down… it was a pick your own adventure type of instructions
Because they sat through weeks of testimony and evidence that included a recording of Trump approving the whole conspiracy.
Possibly bought
The 34 counts are basically repeats of a single MISDEAMOR charge that they elevated to felonies punishable by jail time. Totally insane ruling.
