Opening statements were underway in President Trump's 'hush payment' trial in New York City on Monday morning.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's top prosecutor lied during his opening statement and claimed Trump "Orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election" when he paid porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about their alleged affair.
"The defendant, Donald Trump, orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his New York business records over and over and over again," prosecutor Matthew Colangelo - a former top Biden DOJ appointee - told jurors, according to AP. Alvin Bragg indicted Trump last April on 34 felony counts related to 'hush payments' he made to Stormy Daniels.
The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
The payments were made through internal business records - there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.
Alvin Bragg didn't explain what exactly he wanted to convict Trump of in the charging documents.
Hillary Clinton got a light slap on the wrist for her crimes while Trump is on trial in New York City.
