Isn’t this case about campaign finance violations?

On the surface, yes.

Below the surface, it's the same thing that happened with John Edwards and his lover Reille Hunter. In Edwards' case, there was also a baby and a wife who was dying of cancer.

The complication is that a North Carolina jury acquitted Edwards of campaign finance violations, which is why federal authorities declined to charge Trump for the same thing.

The second complication is that Bragg doesn't have jurisdiction to charge campaign finance violations in federal elections. That's why he's trying to link this to a state crime of falsifying documents to further a crime, despite Trump not being charged with the crime Bragg is using to underpin his own case.
