Watchdogs: Stormy Daniels' lawsuit shows Trump campaign likely broke election laws
The lawsuit filed by adult film actress Stormy Daniels against President Trump bolsters claims that the $130,000 payment for her silence about an alleged affair likely violated federal election laws
Analysis | New evidence the Stormy Daniels payment may have violated election law
Trump Organization resources likely violates 11 CFR 114.2(f). That reads, with our added emphasis:
“Corporations and labor organizations (including officers, directors or other representatives acting as agents of corporations and labor organizations) are prohibited from facilitating the making of contributions to candidates or political committees, other than to the separate segregated funds of the corporations and labor organizations. Facilitation means using corporate or labor organization resources or facilities to engage in fundraising activities in connection with any federal election …”
“The use of the Trump Organization email is evidence that Cohen’s services were, at least in part, being paid for by the Trump Organization,” Noble said in an email. “That would be an illegal corporate contribution to the campaign even if the company did not pay the $130,000.”

OMG! If it's not one thing it's another.
