It’s hard to think of a more fitting term than “trumped-up” to describe the 34 felony charges that 12 Manhattan jurors convicted ex-U.S. president, and presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump on inlaw.justia.com/…itle-k/article-175/175-10 Thursday’s bombshell verdict. 

Over the course of the five-week trial preceding the verdict, prosecutor Alvin Bragg and his team argued that Trump conspired to conceal a $130,000 payment to adult actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 with the intent to commit another crime, a first-degree felony under New York law.
