No campaign funds were used in the transaction.

The deep state created an entirely new crime with Cohen, because Trump has done nothing wrong. So they invented the crime of paying off an extortionist while being a candidate. Nothing wrong with that, and nothing wrong with using your attorney to arrange it, paying the attorney for his services and having the attorney front the expenses. Happens every single day. Now they are calling it an effort to influence a campaign, and it’s a donation. Ridiculous!!!

Then it was with Trump's money, which is legal. Whereas, if Cohen were merely a Trump supporter and not his personal $35,000/month lawyer and agent, then $130,000 in October 2016 to shut Stormy up might possibly be found to be an illegal contribution.

He was never in the campaign, nor did he use campaign funds.
