Trump's first criminal trial is now underway in New York.

Remember: This trial is about election interference.

The words used to describe it are critically important.

Do not let anyone attempt to downplay this trial or its significance.

@rbreich can everyone please STOP calling it the 'hush money trial'??!!
It's the 'campaign finance and business FRAUD trial'!

@rbreich Dus @nos neem hier goede notie van. Want in jullie berichtgeving komt dit pas aan het eind van het artikel terug. Het gaat niet om de betalingen, dat is niet verboden maar het vervalsen van je boekhouding wel. Alsook het doel om het uit de campagne te houden als ongewenste inmenging in de verkiezingen .

That's a bit of a reach. All candidates with weak points in their histories (which is to say, all candidates) try to keep those points out of the public eye.

What Trump did was commit the crime of creating a false record to hide the payments he made to hide an affair. Here, not only is the cover-up worse than the crime, it is, in fact, the only actual crime.

He'd have been better off just denying the affair. It's the position he's in now anyway. The cover-up is the crime.
