Maybe someone was drawing in too much from one of the other campaign fund scandals today?
The allegation as I remember it is that funds came from a company as “billed services” to reimburse Cohen. Paying for an NDA would be services (it is more than merely handing a check, you think there’d be a legal document signed by the silenced party). And then the company was reimbursed.
