Arranging someone to sign a NDA is not a crime. Paying someone to not disclose they had an affair is not a crime. So what crime was he trying to cover up by listing the payment as a legal expense?

That's the question the defense has been asking but the prosecution refuses to say.

The judge clearly favored the prosecution, he was biased and should have recused himself. They weren't prosecuting a crime, they were prosecuting a person.

This is pretty simple. Its not a business expense. He was running for President. If he paid this out of Personal funds no crime. Deducting as an expense is tax Fraud.

Since when does a business NDA have to come from a personal account? Furthermore, did 12 jurors convict him on tax fraud? nope.
