The Full Trump Indictment [Complete Document Breakdown]
FULL TRANSCRIPT
as we're about to go through the Trump
indictment and continue to hear updates
on the Trump case uh apparently the
Manhattan district attorney is now
suggesting that Trump's scheme included
a thirty thousand dollar payment to a
former Trump doorman who alleged that
Trump fathered a child out of a wedlock
again uh worth remembering mark your
calendar for these dates uh we have the
judge has set the next court hearing for
December 4th Trump's legal team has said
that motions to potentially dismiss or
otherwise are due within four months so
that means August promotions December
for the next court appearance and
potentially a trial nine months from now
in January of 2024 worth also
remembering that these counts against
Trump are only felonies if they are used
or or if the actual uh
instance of concealment was done with
the intent to defraud and as a way to
potentially commit another crime let's
get into some more details what the
practice is let's do a quick breakdown
of the complete indictment against
Donald Trump it's 16 pages long but
surprisingly it won't actually take that
long to go through because the
indictment doesn't really give us
anything juicy it doesn't give us
evidence it doesn't tell us potentially
what crime was elevated that is remember
what Donald Trump is being charged with
here falsifying business records on its
own if you write you know a check uh for
a restaurant meal for you and your wife
and then you say it was a business
expense that potentially and and even
though you did no business maybe that
could be argued as falsifying business
records right that might be a
misdemeanor generally falsifying
business records or misdemeanor if now
that potentially LED you to cover up
that you actually
stole the money you used to pay for that
dinner because you edited the source of
the check or the signature or you used
somebody else's check it could be argued
that that misdemeanor is now going to
get elevated to a felony a classy felony
in New York it's the lowest class of
felony that exists but that's
essentially what's being done with
Donald Trump here the argument is hey
you know you paid off essentially Stormy
Daniels through Michael Cohen maybe not
the Trump organization or uh the Trump
campaign itself but maybe use your
family trust to do it which kind of
circumvents and finds the hole in
Michael Cohen's attorney's a letter
saying Donald Trump never reimbursed the
money so going down that hole if Donald
Trump then had his trust commit uh
basically uh or reimburse Stormy Daniels
via Michael Cohen uh for a hush money
for her not making comments during
Trump's political campaign then the
argument that New York is trying to make
is well you making that payment in a
roundabout way was a misdemeanor
falsifying documents but it also in our
opinion violated campaign Finance rules
so now we're going to elevate it to a
felony that is essentially the
allegation here uh and we don't really
get much more evidence of it here's the
actual set now what I've done is I've
gone through and just highlighted the
stuff that's not copy and paste because
most of this indictment of the 34 counts
is copy and paste so the 34 counts I
will read each of the 34 counts to you
specifically the parts that are
different an invoice for Michael Cohen
dated Feb 14 2017. a detailed general
ledger from Donald Trump a revocable
trust a detailed general ledger from
Donald Trump revocable trust with a
different number a check and check stuff
from Feb 14. on invoice from Michael
Cohen that's already count five count
six a voucher from the general ledger of
the accounting books a Czech stub count
seven a false entry of business records
account eight this is all related to the
same stuff detailed General entry count
uh nine check number and check stub
count ten you've got an invoice from
Michael Cohen dated May 22nd count 11.
a false entry of business record into
detail of the general alleger for Donald
Trump with a voucher number count 12
count 13 check number and check date uh
or check stub count 14 false entry of
business records and uh uh from an
invoice of uh Michael Cohen then we've
got an entry into detailed Ledger for
Donald J Trump bearing voucher number
blah blah blah maintained by uh the uh
Trump organization count 16 account uh
check and check stub dated June 19th so
it's basically every single check and
invoice that was potentially used to
reimburse uh uh Michael uh Cohen
or is being counted here count uh here's
count 17 which is another invoice from
Michael Cohen count 18 general ledger
count uh 19. uh a check count a 20 and
invoice count 21. uh a uh uh general
ledger entry as which is basically three
per right it's invoice Ledger check
invoice Ledger check here's another
account number 22. check count 23
invoice count 24 general ledger count
number 25 check count number 26 invoice
count 27 entry count 28 check see the
pattern here count 29 invoice count to
twenty uh or sorry uh I'm already on uh
count 30. uh uh a general ledger entry
uh account number 31 check and then can
you get the can you guess what's gonna
be next invoice Ledger
check stop that's literally it over and
over and over again here the same
allegation I think the only one that's
really different is the first one here
uh although this is uh no it's an
invoice from Michael Cohen so invoice uh
it doesn't even really matter because
none of them are really unique so it
looks like a couple Ledger entries maybe
for the first one that's how we get
three counts per uh and maybe these are
11 checks and and one of them had two
entries or something like that so
there's no evidence here uh there's uh
they're just allegations there's no
evidence of why they're elevating this
to a felony there's nothing now we
expect the D.A to give some kind of
press conference breaking down these 34
different allegations here uh but the
next court hearing is now set for
December 4th motions are due in four
months which would be August so motion's
due in August
the uh uh Court proceeding or the next
hearing would potentially be December
2023
the trial against Trump could start
January of 2024 and the judge is saying
they want to move
judiciously
except they're still going to take a
nine months to move judiciously so it
seems a little ludicrous to me uh that
there was a lack of really evidence
provided here I think this really
actually does the opposite that the
prosecution wants to accomplish and just
reinvigorates Republicans to look at
this and go are you serious this is an
empty indictment this there's no new
information on this you're still not
providing evidence you're you're 3xing
you're basically taking the same
instance of hush money payments made to
potentially two individuals which may
not even be an election crime a federal
election commission's crime it may not
even be that it's been refused to be
prosecuted before on a federal level
level because to some extent some people
might argue that hey like paying
somebody to sign an NDA might be a fair
use of campaign money even if it was the
campaign that paid for it yet now 11
different invoices check stubs and and
Ledger entries are being used as a tool
uh to say oh there are 34 counts of
felonies against Trump it's all the same
instance the same circumstance
essentially maybe you could say two hush
money payments but again is that
necessarily wrong
and uh is it a felony or is this a as
we've said or or have heard a political
Witcher we'll see but that gives you the
actual full text of the indictment let's
keep listening over here information and
unlawful activity from American voters
before and after
