This puzzles me about the trial. [View all]
Trump’s lawyers have objected all along to prosecutors couching Trump’s relationship with Pecker and Michael Cohen as a conspiracy — after all, Trump is not facing a conspiracy charge. But Joshua Steinglass, one of the prosecutors, just noted for the first time in court that one of the election statutes the case is based on does in fact have a conspiracy provision. That could prove important later when the jury is instructed on the laws they must consider in reaching a verdict.This is from the NYT live update for today: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/23/nyregion/trump-hush-money-trial-news
It's one of a number of comments on the trial that seem to say that there's not yet a clear connection between what is being charged and the testimony. In fact I'm not sure we're yet totally clear on the specific charges. Can that be true?
