In this episode of Passing Judgment, we delve into the intricacies of the New York hush money payment case involving a former president – a state criminal trial of immense historical significance as it's the first to proceed against an ex-commander-in-chief. Host Jessica Levinson, alongside court and justice reporter Ella Lee, unpacks the legal complexities facing the prosecution, particularly the challenge of proving intentional fraud linked to the 34 felony counts of false business records. Join Jessica and Ella as they navigate the tangled web of legal battles surrounding one of the nation's most polarizing political figures.
Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:
1️⃣ New York Hush Money Payment Case: This segment introduces the trial concerning former President Trump's alleged hush money payments, which is notable for being the first criminal trial against a former president in U.S. history. There's a discussion on the legal challenges, particularly the difficulty of proving intentional fraud and the connection to another crime.
2️⃣ Legal Nuances and Jury Impact: Jessica and Ella discuss anticipated challenges for both the prosecution and the defense. For the prosecution, convincing the jury of the witnesses' credibility, especially Michael Cohen's, is anticipated to be difficult. The defense is expected to face challenges due to the case's high profile and the polarizing figure of Trump.
3️⃣ Trial Timing and Political Considerations: Speculation about when other cases might go to trial before the November elections is discussed, including the implications of Department of Justice policies regarding pursuing cases close to elections and considerations judges might have on trial scheduling.
