Andrew Weissmann: 本案的核心是选举舞弊，伪造商业记录只是手段。检方在策略上考虑到了陪审团和公众两个受众，力图解释此案的重要性，并反驳了仅仅是封口费支付的观点。他们还试图通过详细的事实陈述来反驳所谓的“梅拉尼娅辩护”，并淡化迈克尔·科恩作为证人的负面影响。 Mary McCord: 指控书将案件置于唐纳德·特朗普破坏民主的整体图景中，强调了其在2016年和2020年选举中试图影响选举结果的行为。她认为，检方在提审中就案件事实和框架进行开场陈述的做法不同寻常，但这样做是为了让公众理解此案的重要性。她还分析了事实陈述中如何详细解释特朗普希望推迟向斯托米·丹尼尔斯支付封口费，以此反驳这笔钱是为了保护其婚姻的辩解。 Nicole Wallace: 检方在事实陈述中直接反驳了所谓的“梅拉尼娅辩护”，并解释了为什么此案与约翰·爱德华兹案不同。
