Paying someone money to sign a non-disclosure agreement is a crime? Then there are a lot of unindicted criminals in every industry in this country.
Everybody is a criminal in Robert Mueller Land.

Too bad trump wasn’t running for congress.
He coulda paid the “hush money” out of the congressional bimbo slush fund.
They are assuming/hoping/manufacturing the fact that the money came from a campaign account, and not a personal account, and THAT would make it improper... but in an actual legal system, there would need to be proof that it came from a campaign account, AND that the President specified to Cohen that the money come from the campaign account (usually requiring something more than he-said-she-said), in order to meet the requirements for the illegal use of campaign funds.
The Left is getting waaaaay ahead of itself, as usual... and hoping that nobody notices that the details matter. The drones of course, do not care one bit... they have something else to scream at the clouds about, so they're happy.
I guess the question is whether making payoffs to prevent publication of information that would damage an election campaign is illegal under election laws.
What about the slush fund to silence the victims of sexual harrasment/assault by Congressional members and staffers?
Alleged mistresses Stormy and the playboy bunny seem to be guilty of extortion. Also, what happened to attorney-client privilege when it comes to Cohen? To your question, a billionaire paying money in return for NDA from alleged mistresses can’t be illegal. Too many billionaires would be in jail if it were.
