The prosecution has to prove that Trump intentionally broke a felonious federal election law. In other words, the prosecutors must prove that Trump illegally paid hush money to Stormy Daniels to cover up crimes under federal election law, which would make it a conspiracy to illegally promote a candidate and a New York state felony.
How did he illegally pay hush money?
I don't know where that quote is from, if it's a quote, but that's not true.
In the New York Case FPOTUS#45 is charged with violation of New York State business law in attempting to aid or hide criminal activity. NOT that he had to have committed the criminal activity.
The criminal activity was committed by Cohen, he pled guilty and went to prison. FPOTUS#45 illegal activity in attempting to hide how the money was paid is the basis of the case.
The case is NOT that he paid Stormy for boinking her in Vegas while his wife was at home having just given birth to his son.
