Again, falsifying business records in NYS is a crime ONLY IF DONE to further or conceal another actual crime, OTHERWISE it is just a misdemeanor.
And it is Bragg prosecuting Trump for falsifying business records in the first degree (the crime).
But in order to do so he needs other crimes. So the charges are that Trump falsified business records to hide the payment to Daniels *to interfere with the 2016 presidential elections*
And there are no federal charges linked to this: Trump has been indicted in 2 federal cases, one is the mar a lago documents one, the other is the 2020 attempt to overthrow election results. Nothing about 2016.
