Manhattan Attorney on Trump: We will not normalize criminal behavior, no matter
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg

Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg held a press conference after communicating the charges against former US president Donald Trump. The latter pleaded not guilty to 34 criminal charges.

Among other things, the prosecutor of the case emphasized that criminal behavior will not be normalized, regardless of who commits it.

"Under New York State law, it is a crime to falsify business records with the intent to defraud and the intent to conceal another crime. That's exactly what this case is about: 34 false statements made to cover up other crimes. These are considered serious crimes in the state of New York," he said.

As stated in the indictment, prosecutors describe a "catch and kill" scheme to remove negative information about Donald Trump from circulation in order not to damage his 2016 presidential campaign.

Bragg also pointed out that two parties involved in the scheme have "already admitted to having committed illegal behavior in relation to the scheme".

Those parties are Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, who is described in the indictment as "Attorney A," and American Media Inc., owner of the National Enquirer tabloid. More specifically, AMI admits to making a payment to a news source to ensure that the latter would not publish “accusations damaging to Trump” before the 2016 election.

Manhattan prosecutors also say some of the checks came directly from the bank account of Donald Trump — his then-lawyer Michael Cohen.

They claim these were disguised as attorneys' fees when in fact they were not.

"Each check was processed by the Trump Organization, and each check was disguised as payment for legal services performed in a specific month of 2017 pursuant to an agreement."
