Why delay? There’s no way that bookkeeping errors in Trump’s business can be considered official acts of the President.
“Why delay? There’s no way that bookkeeping errors in Trump’s business can be considered official acts of the President.”
There is some question about the testimony allowed at trial.
From TechnoFog:
“Important to the New York case is the Supreme Court’s discussion that a prosecutor cannot “invite the jury to examine acts for which a President is immune from prosecution to nonetheless prove his liability on any charge.” A prosecutor may not “admit testimony or private records of the President or his advisers probing the official act itself,” as this presents a “unique risk” that the jury’s deliberations would be prejudiced.
During the trial, Judge Merchan allowed evidence of then-President Trump’s Tweets, public statements, and oval office meetings. As Trump’s attorneys argued yesterday, “this official-acts evidence should never have been put before the jury.” This is no mere harmless error. While it’s doubtful that Judge Merchan agrees (he’s almost anti-Trump as Judge Chutkan), this is solid grounds for appeal.”
TechnoFog goes over all the cases and the effect the Court’s ruling may have on those cases.
