One that was expected is a falsification of business records because Trump created a fake pathway where he funneled money to his attorney claiming a legal retainer when the funds were actually for the hush money payment.

"The charge of falsification of business records is normally prosecuted in New York state as a misdemeanor," the report said. "But Bragg’s office bumped up all the charges to Class E felonies — the lowest level of felonies in the New York State penal code on the grounds that the conduct was intended to conceal another underlying crime, according to the source."

That charge could result in prison time of up to four years, but that's unlikely.

Trump will not be put in handcuffs, placed in a jail cell or subjected to a mug shot —

The stated reason for handcuffing defendants is on the grounds that the suspect might be a flight risk or a threat to the district attorney or court personnel, neither of which were judged to be relevant to the handling of a former president protected at all times by a phalanx of Secret Service agents.
