'We knew what he wanted': Trump’s micromanaging could be his downfall in N.Y. trial

The key element of the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's 34-count felony indictment of former President Donald Trump is that he had intimate knowledge of a hush money payment scheme to allegedly buy the silence of various women claiming to have had affairs with him.

And Trump's defense is largely that the affairs never happened, the women in question were extorting him and that the payments were made without him having a hand in it. Trump's fate will ultimately depend on which narrative jurors believe.
