During the trial involving Donald Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, the defense team is focusing on discussing campaign finance violations. Bove has emphasized the importance of Judge Juan Merchan instructing the jury about the federal election law, specifically highlighting the requirement of a willful violation for such offenses.
Bove expressed concerns that without this instruction, the jury might perceive the alleged violations in civil terms rather than as deliberate breaches of federal election regulations.
Notably, Trump himself has taken a seat at the defense table, now occupying the third chair. Alongside Bove, another member of Trump's legal team, Todd Blanche, is also present for the ongoing charging conference.
