Judge Juan Merchan is currently detailing the specific charges that the jury will be deliberating in the case against Donald Trump. According to Merchan, a person can be found guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree if they intentionally make a false entry in a business enterprise's records with the aim to defraud, commit another crime, or assist in concealing criminal activities.
Trump is facing a total of 34 state felony criminal charges brought by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. These charges specifically revolve around falsifying business records, focusing on 11 invoices, 12 vouchers, and 11 checks.
