The prosecutors (persecutors?) claim that he paid Miss "Daniels" using campaign funds, which they allege is some sort of campaign finance law violation.
Smells a bit like barnyard stuff, to me.
“The prosecutors (persecutors?) claim that he paid Miss “Daniels” using campaign funds,...”
You could be right, but my understanding is that it wasn’t paid from campaign funds, but prosecutors are claiming that it was a campaign expenditure (since it helped his campaign), so they want to prosecute him for not reporting it as a campaign expenditure. It’s a really weak legal argument, but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.
