#Blanche argues there was no #intent by #Trump to #defraud — a #legal concept at the heart of the case. Every time Blanche says the phrase “intent to defraud,” the judge looks at him — but so far, Justice #Merchan has not interrupted him.
Blanche argues the prosecution must show that Trump “caused” the false records. He’s correct about the wording in NY’s #FalseRecords #Law, but “caused” is not a super high bar.
