Prosecutors in the New York criminal hush money case against Donald Trump filed a notice Wednesday outlining their plans to question the former president about his previous civil trials to undermine his credibility.
The so-called Sandoval notice by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg includes “facts” pertaining to the civil fraud trial against the Trump Organization brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), and the two “sexual abuse” defamation lawsuits brought against him by writer E. Jean Carroll.
“If the defendant chooses to testify, the People intend to inquire regarding the following,” Bragg’s office wrote in a filing dated March 10, which became public on Wednesday.
Bragg, an elected Democrat, has charged Trump with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records for what prosecutors say was the illegal concealment of payments to hide an alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels. He began the list by noting Trump, on Feb. 16, was ordered to pay upwards of $354 million in a civil fraud case for “repeatedly and persistently falsifying business records” and “misstating the value of his assets for economic benefit.”
