Do you have even the slightest ability to do research? or even a desire to do so?
Heck, I went to google and asked it to show what other crime was intended to be done by Trump's falsifying business records and I got more than 10 pages (over 150 links) of replies to the question
Here is an example of the answer that was found everywhere:
The "Other Intent" of Crime
Under New York law, falsifying business records is typically a misdemeanor, but it is elevated to a felony if committed to conceal another crime. The prosecution argued that Trump falsified the records with the intent to commit, aid, or conceal one or more of the following: [

- Violation of New York Election Law: An illegal scheme to promote his candidacy by unlawful means (hush money payments made to silence a person).
- Federal Campaign Contribution Violations: The payments made to Daniels were deemed excessive contributions to the 2016 Trump campaign.
- Tax Law Violations: The reimbursement to Cohen was structured to mischaracterize the true nature of the payments for tax purposes.
All of this was given to Trump and his lawyers from the very beginning.
He was found guilty of both the falsifying records and "intent" to hide them for other purposes
