Donald Trump, as you\u2019ve probably heard, has been&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/read-indictment-trump-charged-34-felony-counts-falsifying-business-records\" target=\"_blank\">charged with 34 separate crimes<\/a>. Those crimes turn out on close examination to be the same crime repeated 34 times, and that crime is \u2018falsifying business records in the first degree.&#8217;\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson explained, \u201cthe Manhattan D.A. alleges that Donald Trump sent his own money to various people for various entirely legal reasons, but didn\u2019t account for it correctly in his office records. That\u2019s what he\u2019s accused of. And even if what Alvin Bragg has said Trump did, he actually did do, Trump could not be charged with that because the statute of limitations has expired.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlson added that \u201cBragg dragged&nbsp;Trump into court \u201cby claiming that Trump falsified business records as a means of violating some other much more serious law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat is the more serious crime? Well, we have no idea, because&nbsp;Bragg hasn\u2019t told us,\u201d Carlson continued, adding \u201cNo such more serious crime is listed in the indictment. And critically, and this really is the point. Donald Trump has not been charged with another more serious crime. So what we have as of tonight is an indictment that does not allege specific violations of the law. Well, that\u2019s, of course, unconstitutional, but it\u2019s also farcical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump was criminally charged because he\u2019s planning to challenge Joe Biden in the presidential election.
