Based on my years of experience prosecuting complex fraud cases, the New York County District Attorney’s Office case against former President Donald Trump has all the hallmarks of a major fraud case, with tremendous jury appeal.
In addition, Hope Hicks, then the Trump campaign press secretary, may testify about her conversations with Trump and Cohen about the “Access Hollywood” tape, as well as Trump’s anger that it would hurt his campaign. The district attorney’s office will also use Trump’s own words. Trump’s own words will help establish his intent to unlawfully influence the election.
