Prosecutors in Trump's criminal case say they have recording of Trump and a witness
CBS News ^ | May 26, 2023 | BY GRAHAM KATES

Prosecutors in former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal case have released to his attorneys a recording of Trump and a witness, whose identity was not disclosed, according to a document the office made public Friday.

The document, called an automatic discovery form, describes the nature of the charges against a defendant and a broad overview of the evidence that prosecutors will present at Trump's preliminary hearing or at trial. Trump's attorneys and media organizations, including CBS News, had repeatedly requested that such a form be made public in the weeks since Trump's arrest on April 4.

Trump is the first former president in American history to face criminal charges. He has entered a not guilty plea to 34 felony counts of falsification of business records for alleged payments made as part of a "hush money" scheme.

The document lists the dates of 34 instances between Feb. 14, 2017 and Dec. 5, 2017 when he allegedly falsified records.

In a section devoted to electronic evidence that will be turned over, a prosecutor for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office indicated they have disclosed to the defense a "recording of a conversation between defendant and a witness."

The section also indicates prosecutors intend to disclose recordings of calls between witnesses and others.

Meanwhile the Biden’s can get payoffs of millions from the Chinese and the Department of (in)Justice doesn’t care.

We officially live in a Third World nation now...

We paid a LOT of money so that the NSA could suck up and store every phone conversation in the U.S. Glad to see that capability is being put to good use…

They won’t let up. Look at how much they fear and loathe Trump. Why would I support someone else for president.

Biden is a communistic old incapable piece of flesh.
He was not elected, thus by our constitution, he does not have the authority to do all he has done. It has taken place by dems saying their half person won and the media telling the world. He did NOT win.. but the republicans sat on their weak rear and ket them declare the lie.

I am furious over their treatment of Trump and letting bidens crimes go free to communize our country.

They keep innocent persons in jail without a reason.. to scare others to be nice snd let biden destroy all of us.
Biden and son are guilty of crimes..that’s ok.. just get Trump before he can get them.

He has weaponized the whole government and there are no safeguards..

I am furious it was so easily done and mo recourse.. you people will get uncomfortable if Biden.barry have it their way.. so
Get uncomfortable now and get Trump back in or there wont be another chance..

It’s a horrible situation to be in, the case is truly a farce, people need to come to the reality that this case is real, it’s going to happen, Trump will not get a fair trial, then we will have to deal with the aftermath of a Trump conviction.

Get ready before this trial, I fully expect two more criminal indictments against Trump, one in Georgia and one in Washington DC, both are just as much of a farce as this one.

There is no justice in a country where Trump can be prosecuted for minor accounting errors, and Hildebeeste runs free after the FBI clearly showed that she willfully mishandled and compromised classified information

Everyone is posturing between Trump vs. DeSantis. Do you really think there will be a fair election? That ship has sailed. They control all levers of the Gov that matter. Only way to fix it is for it to get really ugly. And that will not happen. Best prepare to live in a really bad America. We are just getting a taste of that now.

THERE. WAS. NO. CRIME. There is a cobbled together desperate attempt to bypass written law in order to silence Trump and keep him from running for office.

Isn’t the public disclosure gag against both litigants? Or is there now just one litigant rules against the other in the case? (Grounds for appeals and mistrial)

The DOJ leaks accusations against Trump and the faithful media broadcast it as a fact with insinuations that some awful crime took place. Later, it is found to be something totally innocent. Democrats shout “guilty” before they have even seen or heard the supposed evidence. Even many conservatives fall for the left’s narrative each and every time.
