Motive and intent are very closely related to each other.

Motive precedes intent in terms of action.

Motive is the reason behind the intent, while intent is the background of the committed crime.

Both motive and intent should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but intent has a weightier standing and bearing in a court of law compared to motive.

I haven't seen any proof of President Trump's motive or intent from the House.
