About this listen

As Judge Merchan prepares to give the jury instructions in Trump's hush money trial, he is making a fateful decision on what the prosecution must prove about Trump's culpable state of mind. In this episode, former DOJ prosecutor Alex Grant breaks down this crucial issue that could lead to the nightmare scenario of a guilty verdict followed by a reversal on appeal if Judge Merchan gets this wrong. Alex explains that the New York false records statute requires the prosecution to meet the difficult standard of willfulness in order to convict Trump of the felonies charged in the indictment.
