Donald Trump was prosecuted for lying to his checkbook.
Crooked Omar goes scot-free while Donald Trump was convicted in
a Biden-era charge of 34 felony counts of falsifying New York business records.
Invented case involved covering up payments to Stormy Daniels by disguising them, in part, through false entries in his company ledger, checks, and invoices.
The Biden-era case alleged these false records were used to conceal a scheme to influence the 2016 election.
Trump was found guilty of 34 counts of Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree in May 2024.
What were the “checkbook” details? The Biden-era charges focused on documentation related to a $130,000 hush-money payment, including 11 checks sent to his lawyer (some signed by Trump from the White House), 12 ledger entries, and 11 invoices, all of which were falsely recorded as “legal fees.”
Biden Prosecutors argued this was done to hide the payment to Stormy Daniels and illegally influence the 2016 presidential election.
Trump was convicted by a Biden-era jury in New York State Supreme Court and is appealing the verdict.
