#falsifiedbusinessrecords — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #falsifiedbusinessrecords, aggregated by home.social.

  1. In May, #Trump was convicted on 34 counts of having #FalsifiedBusinessRecords in connection w/a #HushMoney payment to his ex-fixer #MichaelCohen made to adult film actress #StormyDaniels so she would keep her story of an affair w/Trump… a secret until after the 2016 presidential election.[#ElectionInterference]

    The #GagOrder once prevented Trump from attacking key witnesses — like Cohen & Daniels — & jurors, but the judge partially lifted the order after the trial’s conclusion.

  2. #Trump has argued the [extremely narrow] #GagOrder violates the First Amendment rights of him & his millions of supporters [who are not under any gag order BTWs] emphasizing his status as a presidential candidate in this year’s election.

    Trump asked the #NewYork Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, to hear his challenge after his arguments were rejected by lower courts.

  3. #NewYork’s high court tossed out #Trump’s #appeal of the #GagOrder in his #FalsifiedBusinessRecords / #ElectionInterference / #HushMoney #criminal case Thurs.

    The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s #sentencing, bars him from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families.

    In a brief order, the court said “no substantial #constitutional question is directly involved” & that it would dismiss Trump’s appeal.

  4. The delay will spare #Trump a distraction — & humiliation — at a critical moment. MVP #KamalaHarris’s entry into the presidential race in July upended the campaign & erased his lead in the polls.

  5. Justice #Merchan, a veteran judge who once vowed to apply “the rules of #law evenhandedly,” was an unlikely deliverer of relief for the former president. Yet his ruling on Friday marked just #Trump’s latest success in dragging out his varied #legal entanglements, a strategy that has paid off in all four #criminal cases looming over the [#abuser]….

  6. The judge’s decision to push the proceeding is likely to infuriate Bragg’s liberal supporters & fuel accusations that #Trump is above the #law, shielded from the consequences of conviction, unlike any other #felon. To avoid that impression, left-leaning legal scholars — & Trump critics seeking catharsis — wanted Justice #Merchan to hold Trump accountable promptly after he was convicted in May of having #FalsifiedBusinessRecords to cover up a sex scandal.

  7. Justice #Merchan’s decision came at the request of #Trump, who had asked to #delay the sentencing until after the #election, partly so he had more time to challenge his #conviction. Prosecutors working for the Manhattan DA, #AlvinBragg, who brought the case, had deferred to the judge, paving the way for at least a brief postponement.

  8. The judge overseeing Donald J. Trump’s #criminal case in Manhattan postponed his sentencing until after #Election Day, a significant victory for #Trump as he seeks to overturn his #conviction & win back the White House.

    In a ruling on Fri, the judge, Juan M. #Merchan, cited the “unique time frame this matter currently finds itself in” & rescheduled the sentencing for Nov 26.

  9. Sept 16: Justice #Merchan will decide whether to grant #Trump's motion to throw out his #Manhattan #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference #HushMoney case verdict. Trump argues #SCOTUS' recent ruling on presidential #immunity invalidates evidence used during the trial [as if hush money payments to a porn star were official presidential acts]. If his motion isn't granted, Trump's team will push for the sentencing to be moved to give him more time to figure out next steps.

  10. The jury unanimously determined that #Trump #FalsifiedBusinessRecords to cover up $130k in payments to adult film star #StormyDaniels, which could have affected his #2016election campaign.

    The original July 11 sentencing date was pushed back after #SCOTUS delivered its ruling on presidential #immunity in July. Justice #Merchan has said he will rule on the immunity argument Sept 16, just 2 days before the scheduled sentencing.

  11. The saga of #Trump’s #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference #HushMoney case isn’t over yet

    #Republican #Trump was hoping to delay his #NewYork #sentencing on 34 #felony counts until after the Nov 5 election, but a federal judge said Tues that he wouldn't block the case from moving forward.

    NY State Judge Juan #Merchan is set to sentence Trump on Sept 18 in the Manhattan hush money case, after a NYC #criminal #conviction on May 30.

  12. #Trump has for the THIRD TIME lost his bid for a new #judge in his #NY #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference #HushMoney #criminal case as it heads toward a ruling & #sentencing next month.

    In a decision posted Wed, Justice Juan #Merchan declined to step aside & said Trump’s demand was a rehash “rife w/ #inaccuracies & #unsubstantiated claims” about the political ties of Mercan’s daughter & ability to judge the case fairly & impartially.

  13. [Unsurprisingly] The brief order noted that 2 conservative justices, #ClarenceThomas & Samuel #Alito, would have allowed the state to at least file its lawsuit directly at the #SCOTUS although they would not grant the emergency relief that Bailey wanted.

  14. The court rejected Missouri's bid to sue the state of #NewYork, meaning the justices will not lift the #GagOrder or delay sentencing in the unusual claim brought by #Republican #Missouri AG #AndrewBailey, who is running for a full term this fall.

    Many commentators said the filing was more of a #PoliticalStunt aimed at gaining #publicity than a serious #legal claim.

  15. #Trump loses appeal of #GagOrder in #criminal #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference case

    A #NewYork state appeals court on Thurs rejected Trump's challenge to a gag order in his criminal #conviction case on charges stemming from #HushMoney paid to a porn star.

    The ruling means Justice #Merchan's order preventing Trump from publicly commenting about individual #prosecutors & others will remain in place through his Sept #sentencing.

  16. #NewYork Judge delays #Trump's #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference sentencing to Sept. 18

  17. The DA’s office noted in a letter to the court Tues that sentencing would have to be delayed from July 11 for the defense to make its case.

    #NewYork Supreme Court Justice Juan #Merchan has previously ruled that #Trump’s conduct in the #FalsifiedBusinessRecords case has nothing to do with his official duties as president, a decision Merchan made when rejecting a request by Trump’s lawyers to postpone the trial until after the #SCOTUS’ ruling on #immunity.

  18. #Trump’s NY #FalsifiedBusinessRecords #ElectionInterference#HushMoney” sentencing may be postponed due to #SCOTUS #immunity ruling

    Trump’s lawyers are seeking to vacate his #NewYork #conviction based on Monday’s #SupremeCourt ruling on presidential immunity.

The Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg says he is not opposed to a #delay requested by Trump’s lawyers so they can seek to vacate his conviction.

  19. Prosecutors w/Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg's office said limits on Trump's speech about trial witnesses were no longer needed. But they urged Justice Juan #Merchan to keep in place restrictions on his comments about #jurors, #CourtStaff & individual #prosecutors, citing risks to their #safety.

  20. The revised order now allows #Trump to speak publicly about #witnesses in the case, but keeps in place restrictions on his comments about individual prosecutors & others involved in the case.

    Trump's attys argued the #GagOrder was stifling his #campaign speech, & said it might limit his ability to respond to attacks from Democratic #POTUS Joe #Biden during their coming #debate on June 27.

  22. Hunter Biden is accused of making false statements in filling out paperwork to purchase a gun in 2018. The max sentence for the most serious charge is 10yrs in prison.

    Trump has vocally criticized the trial as “rigged”….

    "He's trying to undermine it" #POTUS said re Trump. “He got a fair trial. The jury spoke."
