You also missed the part where SCOTUS said official acts can’t be admitted as evidence. So what if a President gets $5B from some company so regulators look the other way. A jury would only hear, at best, that a President received money for an act that never occurred.
The official act is telling a department to give special treatment to a company. That’s out of bounds for trial.
