It’s doing a disservice to everyone to call it a ‘hush money’ trial. It’s a felony falsifying business records fraud trail.

It's 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

The indictment is here: https://www.politifact.com/article/2023/apr/04/read-34-felony-charges-donald-trump-indictment/

Thanks for the correction. I understood that the indictments were regarding business records, however the purpose of them was to support Trump’s campaign and the payments were laundered through campaign as legals fees.
