The (tricky) legal instructions for the jury in NY v Trump - Talking Feds
Harry talks to the Honorable Shira Scheindlin, who served as a federal judge in Manhattan for 22 years, about the legal instructions that Justice Merchan will shortly provide the jury in the Trump case. There are several vexing legal issues, starting with the core felony charge, which requires the jury to find Trump caused the falsification of records with the intent to commit another crime.
What other crime might that be, and need the jury agree on it? What happens if the jury concludes that Trump acted both to keep information from the voting public and to shield Melania? Will the judge give a “missing witness” charge to the jury about Allen Weisselberg? And to what strategic decisions for the parties do these issues give rise? - 05/21/2024.
