Far-Left Liberals Accuse Trump of Falsifying Business Records
Democratic socialists in far-left New York have launched a criminal case against Donald Trump, accusing him of falsifying business records in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. The star witness in this case is Michael Cohen, a former Trump lawyer who has served time in jail for perjury. Cohen has admitted to stealing $30,000 from Trump, raising questions about the credibility of his testimony.
Michael Cohen's Admission and Its Impact on the Case
Speculation is rampant that the prosecution in Trump’s case in New York City is far from proving beyond a reasonable doubt that he was directly involved in paying off Stormy Daniels. How did Mr. Cohen get away with stealing $30,000? Some speculate that he made $4 million through his association with Trump. Having Cohen as a star witness is tainted at best, as he has admitted to being a liar and a thief.
Arguments Against Trump’s Knowledge of the Scheme
Arguments have been made that just because Cohen was involved in some kind of hush money scheme doesn’t mean that Trump knew about it. Hiring an individual does not necessarily mean one knows what they are doing at all times. The revelation that Cohen stole tens of thousands of dollars might hurt the prosecution’s case. Cohen was able to take this money and get away with it, forging records without Trump’s knowledge. This lends weight to the possibility that Cohen falsified business records without Trump’s approval.
Political Implications and Future Developments
Many believe the democratic socialists launched this case simply to derail Trump’s campaign. Immediately after the guilty verdict was delivered, Trump reportedly raised $52 million in a 24-hour period. It remains to be seen what the general public feels about this case. Undoubtedly, it will go to appeal. The importance of this case for leadership will presumably be answered at the presidential election later this year.
