Discussion»Questions»Politics» Week of Mid-term results, Trump in the news again about illegal campaign funds w/Stormy and Karen. Pecker has immunity, Let's keep him bz.
1. It was Trump's money so not limit applies (and not a contribution anyway) 2. No...it was Trump's money 3. Nothing to report...Trump paid hush money which he has many times over his lifetime. And would not be a legal use of campaign money. 4. Not a campaign violation. Hush money is NOT illegal by the payee. An argument could be made that the receiver is guilty of extortion.
If is were misconstrued as a campaign finance violation it would simply result in a penalty of a fine just as Obama's campaign finance violations resulted.
Just to be clear I am not defending any extra-marital affair, hush money nor any other such actions. It is sleazy but sleazy is not a crime.
