During the ongoing trial involving former President Donald Trump's business records, a discussion arose regarding the jury instructions on what constitutes causing a false entry in business records.
Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, raised objections to the language proposed by prosecutors, particularly focusing on the phrase 'a person causes a false entry when...'. Bove expressed concerns that the current wording could potentially lead to convictions based on indirect involvement in causing false entries, known as accessorial liability.
