However, they have not definitively stated what crime they believe Trump was concealing through the falsification of these records. They've informally offered several alternatives.

Uh-oh, I was wondering about this aspect. This seems like it might actually kill this case. I sure hope Bragg has withheld his "trump" card and that we'll see it presented in crystal clarity later. But there's at least this from https://www.factcheck.org/2023/04/whats-in-trumps-...

“Why did Donald Trump repeatedly make these false statements? The evidence will show that he did so to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election,” Bragg said.

Tying the false statements to alleged election law crimes underpins Bragg’s case to elevate the crimes to felonies.

“The participants’ scheme was illegal,” Bragg said. “The scheme violated New York election law, which makes it a crime to conspire to promote a candidacy by unlawful means. The $130,000 wire payment exceeded the federal campaign contribution cap. And the false statements in AMI’s books violated New York law. That is why Mr. Trump made false statements about his payments to Mr. Cohen.”
