Donald Trump has been found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, and will be sentenced on July 11. MSNBC's Katie Phang looks at the "novel legal theory" prosecutor Alvin Bragg chose to employ in this trial. "It’s important to take a minute to digest what the prosecution had to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt: Trump, with the intent to defraud, made (or caused to be made) false entries in an enterprise’s business records, and his 'intent to defraud included an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof,'" Phang writes.
