It is not clear what crime Trump was supposedly trying to conceal by making “hush-money” payments to former porn actress Stormy Daniels.

As is so often true, it’s not the incident, it’s the coverup of the incident.

There is nothing wrong (legally) with paying hush money to a porn star. The law that was broken when Trump tried to disguise the payment as a payment to Cohen “for legal fees”, and then use it as an expense tax deduction in his filings - and further didn’t disclose it in political disclosure requirements.

Of course Cohen is a slime, but pales in comparison to Trump himself.
