Another salient legal issue that Bragg appears to have just blithely swept under the rug with this case is why, exactly, should President Trump be held vicariously criminally liable for an alleged clerical error committed by his accountant or his attorney, Michael Cohen, or whoever might have been overseeing his tax filings at the time the write-off was made? If, as President Trump has said, that it was Michael Cohen, not him, who decided pay off Stormy Daniels, Bragg should be investigating Cohen and forcing him into court, not President Trump.
The Defense will provide that theory
The jury will have to decide whether they believe Trump in saying he had nothing to do with it and never had sex with Stormy Daniels anyway or they believe Cohen in what Trump told him he wanted done to cover this up.
Stay tuned
