Donald Trump is not expected to face charges in the hush money payment scandal involving porn star Stormy Daniels and former playmate Karen McDougal, despite no longer having the shield of presidency, according to people familiar with the case.
The former president's exit from the White House last month prompted speculation that US prosecutors might revive the investigation that sent his former attorney, Michael Cohen, to prison.
Trump himself had been publicly implicated by prosecutors as complicit in Cohen's campaign finance crimes during his 2016 run for office.

How much did Joe Biden give the FBI to hush up Hunter Biden’s laptop?
That won’t stop the Commies in NYS from legal State actions.
I am unaware that Stormy ever shut up. Didn’t she have squabbles with her lawyer too?
Beoynd me why people continue to post claptrap from the Daily Mail. It is worse than the NYT and WP together for it biased writing and misinformation.
Ummm... maybe because he didn’t do anything illegal? I mean I know that prosecuting Republicans who didn’t do anything wrong has been all the rage for the last 4 years, but every fad passes in time
Typical liberal playbook. It was always about the optics of Orange Man Bad. It’s easy to make allegations, but it’s much harder to prove in court.
This.
Cohen was actually sent to prison because of the taxi medallions
If i recall correctly her attorney was the epic Avenatti clownshow. Haven’t heard much from either of them for a while now. 😉
The whole 4 years was nothing but allegations, they just made it all up as they went along.
None of these “crimes” will prosecute anywhere.
It was always about the smear and when one smear was dying down, create a new one. It makes the perception that Trump is corrupt or doing illegal activities, however he has been been prosecuted for anything, nor will he.
Avenatti is in jail I believe, he tried to hustle Nike and Nike called the FBI on him
Stormy is back to doing strip shows at $2 buck bars
Will they throw in the Russian stuff, you just for kicks?
What statute outlaws “hush money,” whatever that is?
Although affairs are not morally right, there is nothing illegal with Trumps legal agreements with the two women.
I’d rather see the two girls in jail for blackmail and extortion not to mention lying like dogs
In the old days, this was called blackmail.
Because he didn’t pay “hush money”. They signed a contract, used quite regularly at higher income levels of the real world— to get rid of annoying gold digging blackmailers with false charges. In Trump’s situation,he never did what they tried to blackmail him with-— in the first place, and, it is far cheaper to engage a “NON-DISCLOSURE” waiver agreement for a sum of money, than to have interminable court hearings and responses and lawyer time to have to pay out for a NUISANCE.
Non-Disclosure is not “hush money” it is a contract for them to stay away, and which if they break the agreement THEY are liable for the damages they agreed not to disclose (whether false of true, the disclosure is not affirmed as to the verity of the claim. Most non-discloses do not even enumerate what is not to be disclosed!).
