Donald Trump sat in court Monday as jury selection began in his hush money criminal trial, which Mark Levine said was legally weak and should have been “immediately dismissed.” thinking.
The former president is the first in U.S. history to be tried on criminal charges, facing 34 felonies for falsifying business records with the intent to influence the 2016 election.
Mr. Levin calls this case a “non-disclosure agreement case.”
But that doesn’t matter to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and others relentlessly pursuing Trump’s freedom.
“They want to convict Trump of some crime, but that crime is not a crime,” Levin says.
“This is a reporting issue for the company that paid the non-disclosure agreement with Stormy Daniels. The question is: Was it a legal expense or a business expense?” Levin says. “So Mr. Bragg said, ‘Well, that should have been put in one category, not another. The reason it went in the wrong category is because Trump was trying to hide that he was using the money for this purpose. .”
The purpose is to “violate federal law.”
“You may be asking yourself, what does the DA have to do with the Commonwealth? Nothing. That’s why this case should have been dismissed immediately,” Levin said, noting that Bragg did All that had to be done, he noted, was to “recalibrate the words and meanings” and “turn so-called misdemeanors into felonies.”
“It’s not just weird,” he continues. “But he takes the loss precedent and applies it anyway. Why? Because he’s going to have an all-Democratic jury, and he knows the jury will convict Trump. .”
