Quote:"At a hearing in June, an irascible U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein rebuffed Trump’s plans, with the judge becoming increasingly exasperated the more he detailed the weird business arrangement between Trump and [former Trump attorney Michael] Cohen."

Trump's attempt to move his Manhattan trial to federal court handed Alvin Bragg a massive win
In particular, he was put off by Trump's assertion that the Cohen-assisted payoffs to adult star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their affair before the 2016 election was part of his presidential duties.
In his ruling, he wrote, "Whatever the standard, and whether it is high or low, Trump fails to satisfy it. Trump has not explained how hiring and making payments to a personal attorney to handle personal affairs carries out a constitutional duty. Reimbursing Cohen for advancing hush money to Stephanie Clifford cannot be considered the performance of a constitutional duty."
“Falsifying business records to hide such reimbursement, and to transform the reimbursement into a business expense for Trump and income to Cohen, likewise does not relate to a presidential duty. Trump is not immune from the People’s prosecution in New York Supreme Court,” he added.
That ruling, along with kicking the case back to state court, had the effect of making the point that, "the DA doesn’t even need to prove the underlying crimes that bump it up to felony status—like tax dodging or election fraud."
As he explained in his ruling, "The only elements are the falsification of business records, an intent to defraud, and an intent to commit or conceal another crime. The People need not establish that Trump or any other person actually violated [New York or federal election laws]. Trump can be convicted of a felony even if he did not commit any crime beyond the falsification, so long as he intended to do so or to conceal such a crime.”
Former prosecutor John Moscow stated Hellerstein's ruling is, "... a seal of approval on the indictment,” before adding, "It’s critical. You don’t need to prove anything except an intention [by Trump] to aid or conceal a crime. Anyone who’s literate will understand that it’s a crime. 34 felonies!”

Quote:Ellis admitted that she “intentionally aided and abetted” Giuliani and another Trump lawyer, Ray Smith, in “in knowingly, willfully, and unlawfully making … false statements to members of the Georgia Senate.”

Ellis admitted that many of her post-election public statements were false, including her claim that the race was “stolen” from Trump.

Who knew that lying was illegal? Not Trump! His lawyers have been arguing for many decades that their client doesn't know the difference between truth and fiction so how could he possibly be called a liar?
