How is this not a problem for Trump?

rump's name didn't come up in the federal courtroom in Manhattan, but Cohen said he had paid two women, apparently porn actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, "at the direction" of an unnamed candidate in 2016, and that a $150,000 payment in August 2016 was for the "principal purpose of influencing" the 2016 presidential election. Both Daniels and McDougal have said they had past relationships with Trump.

BFD. Trump has already admitted that he paid back Cohen for one of the payments.

I thought that a few weeks ago they said that the money came from Trump and therefore it WASN’T illegal, because it’s not illegal to donate unlimited amounts of your own money to your own campaign.

The only important part is “for the principal purpose of influencing...”

I think it’s the women who showed up at that time trying to influence the election. It would make no sense for Trump to initiate contact with them to get them to try to extort him.
