The above video explains how personal attorney / fixer Michael Cohen paid “hush money” to porn star Stormy Daniels days before the 2016 Presidential Election on Trump’s behalf which NY prosecutors claim is a Campaign Finance Violation.  Fixer Michael Cohen served over 1 year in prison for being a co-conspirator for this offense.

This has nothing to do with Politics. This is about violating Campaign Finance laws.

 

Trump could be indicted under New Your State Law for a hush money payment Cohen arranged to porn actress Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf days before the 2016 presidential election.

The New York hush-money probe of Donald Trump explained

More than six years after Donald Trump’s lawyer paid off a porn star, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether the former president should face charges in connection with that payoff.

Per the above article: “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. More than six years later, New York prosecutors appear to be close to deciding whether Trump should face charges in connection with that payoff, in what could become the first criminal case ever brought against a former president”.

The investigation centers on hush-money payments made in 2016 to two women who alleged that they had extramarital encounters with Trump, who has denied their accounts of his infidelity.

HOW WERE THE PAYMENTS MADE?

Cohen paid porn actress Stormy Daniels $130,000 through a shell company Cohen set up. He was then reimbursed by Trump, whose company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses.

Earlier in 2016, Cohen also arranged for former Playboy model Karen McDougal to be paid $150,000 by the publisher of the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer, which squelched her story in a journalistically dubious practice known as “catch-and-kill.”

Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, “grossed up” Cohen’s reimbursement for the Daniels payment for “tax purposes,” according to federal prosecutors who filed criminal charges against the lawyer in connection with the payments in 2018″.

 

McCarthy & Jordan attempt to shut down NY DA Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump.

In a dramatic and transparent abuse of power, Representatives Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan and others attempt to interfere in New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal investigation of Donald Trump. This represents a gross abuse of congressional power, a potential violation of the 10th Amendment (as this is NOT a power delegated to the federal government), and it may also constitute the crime of obstruction of justice. But we can expect more of this abuse of power by McCarthy and company if law enforcement authorities decline to hold McCarthy and Jordan accountable for these abuses.
