Stories about his alleged affairs “could have sunk Trump’s campaign,” Mr Eisen told reporters on Thursday. In a December radio interview, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg emphasized that the case is not about “money for sex.” “We would say it’s about conspiring to corrupt a presidential election,” he said, “and then lying in New York business records to cover it up.” In his description of the case to prospective jurors, New York Justice Juan Merchan also makes clear that the case involves an “unlawful” attempt to affect the outcome of the 2016 election. He writes that Mr Trump is accused of falsifying business records “to conceal an agreement with others to unlawfully influence the 2016 presidential election.” “Specifically, it is alleged that Donald Trump made or caused false business records to hide the true nature of payments made to Michael Cohen, by characterizing them as payment for legal services rendered pursuant to a retainer agreement,” according to the judge’s summary. “Manhattan has always flexed its muscles as it relates to business records – it’s perfectly appropriate.” Mr Bragg has also stressed that similar financial crimes are the bread and butter of his office.
