Summary
- Trump’s legal team faces a difficult decision in whether to request that the jury consider misdemeanor charges instead of the 34 felony charges he is currently facing in his hush money trial.
- Making this choice could potentially lead to a lower sentence if Trump is found guilty.
- The decision revolves around whether to hedge with the lesser offense or risk it all with the felony charges.
- The outcome could greatly impact Trump’s potential sentence, with misdemeanor charges carrying a maximum of two years in jail compared to four years for each felony count.
