I'm still confused (Trump trial). [View all]

[LAS14]

Trump had to have falsified business records to cover up another crime. I gradually came to understand that the "other crime" could be one of several, and that those crimes didn't have to be proved "beyond a reasonable doubt," but, instead, by "a reasonable person" standard. On Smerconish last night I was reassured to find that someone else besides me was troubled by the lack of clarity. And that there really was a lack of clarity, at least as far as which underlying crimes were used in the verdict. He listed the possible underlying crimes as:

1 - Violations of Federal Election Law

2 - the falsification of other business records.

3 - violation of tax laws

But I've never seen anyone say WHAT violation of Federal Election Law. Or WHAT falsification of business recores. or WHAT violation of tax laws, never mind what evidence was presented to prove that those violations had been committed. I did skim the opening statements looking for such info. I couldn't handle skimming all the transcripts every day. Do any of you know the answers to these questions??
