Along with the media attention the case will bring, he\u2019ll have ample opportunity to make statements to appeal to GOP voters watching the case.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s allies have long maintained Bragg\u2019s indictment is the weakest of the four criminal cases the former president is facing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people see it exactly for what it is. It\u2019s politics at work in New York. Most Americans realize that New York City is not like the rest of the country,\u201d said Wayne King, the president of Old North Strategies and a former chief of staff to former North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows.\u00a0\u201cAnd obviously, this is a very targeted case against President Trump and his family, and I think most people see that as a disgrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Matthew Dallek, a political historian at George Washington University,\u00a0disagreed in an interview with the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not so sure that that conventional wisdom is accurate. This seems to be a pretty serious case. Michael Cohen did jail time for it and was an underling to alleged individual No. 1, to Trump,\u201d Dallek said. \u201cAnd so I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair to say that people are just going to dismiss it as a nothingburger or at least, you know, people who are more on the fence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bragg\u2019s indictment against Trump claimed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid $130,000 to Daniels to cover up the alleged affair during the 2016 election. He pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations, tax fraud, and lying to Congress in 2018 and received a three-year prison sentence. Cohen would spend almost 14 months in prison and a year-and-a-half in home confinement.<\/p>\n<p>Now he\u2019s set to become the key witness in the hush money case. <\/p>\n<p>Additionally, roughly 64% of voters called the New York charges \u201csomewhat serious\u201d compared to 34% who said the charges lacked seriousness, according to a recent<em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/trump-hush-money-charges-seen-serious-by-most-voters-reutersipsos-finds-2024-04-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Reuters<\/a><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/trump-hush-money-charges-seen-serious-by-most-voters-reutersipsos-finds-2024-04-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>\/Ipsos poll.<\/a> Even more concerning for Trump is that about 4 in 10 Republicans said the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-scores-major-victory-and-minor-setback-in-new-york-courts\/\" title=\"Trump achieves significant win and minor setback in New York legal battles\">hush money charges<\/a> were serious, while two-thirds of independents said the same.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the Trump campaign remains defiant and says he will emerge from the trial unscathed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately for Crooked Joe, voters see that President Trump is the strongest candidate to lead our country, and nobody fights back harder than he does,\u201d Leavitt said. \u201cPresident Trump will continue to fight for truth in the courtroom and to share his winning message on the campaign trail.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Gregg Keller, a Republican consultant based in Missouri, concurred that the trial will not hurt Trump as some Democrats may privately hope. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s entire political raison d\u2019etre is that he is against the establishment. And every time there\u2019s a court hearing, every time a judge finds something, every time they impanel a jury, it\u2019s one more opportunity to go out there,\u201d Keller said. \u201cAnd it gives Trump an opportunity to burnish his anti-establishment credentials. So it\u2019s actually a positive for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>But Dallek, the political historian, offered some caution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe specter of having to sit in court every day on a criminal trial, I mean, there\u2019s a reason Trump has been desperate to delay it and not to have these trials start,\u201d Dallek said. \u201cHe\u2019s not stupid in that sense. He knows that this is probably not a positive development for him. That\u2019s not to say he can\u2019t monetize it or weaponize it in some ways.
