This is old news. But the issues is if Trump used the Trump business to pay for her silence, then that violated campaign contribution laws as this was to keep her silence when he was running for office. If they used money from the Trump organization , and said it was a legal expense then there is Tax fraud as obvious a business cannot pay for Trumps sexual improprieties'.
Then he piles it on as if he lied in court then you can add perjury to the list.
So the matter is why would Trump giver her money.
Michael Cohen Trumps old lawyer is the key witness and it involve two payments made to woman. He has already pleaded guilty to doing this.
What is Trump predicament. Cohen has a recording with Trump discussing the payments.
yeah Trump now claims it was extortion, but this is the level of Trump's intelligence.
So if Trump falsified records for tax purpose it is a misdemeanor., if he then tries to cover up the misdemeanor then he concealing the prior crime which raises it to the level of criminality.
Still the funny part is , if he had just paid using his own money then the story would have died. Trump has survived many claims of his cheating on his wife. Ivana can testified to that. Its not a prosecutable crime and it just a matter of whether the voters care.
NEW YORK (AP) — In the final weeks of the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump’s lawyer tried to buy the silence of a porn actress who said she had a sexual encounter with the Republican during his days as a reality TV star.
