The complaints make a compelling case that the $130,000 payment to Daniels was made to influence the presidential election; that makes it a campaign expenditure.
Daniels herself admits this in her new lawsuit, claiming Trump agreed to pay her “to avoid her telling the truth, thus helping to ensure that he won the Presidential Election.”
By failing to report the payment as a campaign expense, the Trump campaign violated multiple federal disclosure laws.
And depending on the source of the $130,000 paid to Daniels, the payment may also have been an illegal contribution.
If the funds came from a corporation like the Trump Organization, the payment would be an illegal corporate contribution because corporations are prohibited from make contributions to federal candidates.
And if the money came from Cohen or anyone other than Trump himself, it would violate the $2,700 limit on individual contributions to a federal candidate.
Ahahahahahahaha.
Yeah right.
Millions in Obama 2008/2012 contributions from Muslim nations “violated election law.” Hillary and the DNC funding the “pee dossier” “violated election law.” NOTHING was done about either. The FEC is completely toothless, and NOTHING will happen from this ridiculous fake story of Daniels.
New Democrat talking point: paying a porn star is collusion!
Stormy Daniels helped Trump beat Hillary Clinton!
Apparently, she could have done back then what the Hollywood Access tape didn’t do.
Yeah, sure.
The Dems should be very careful in pursuing this line of attack - given the HRC campaign filtered 10 million through a law firm to produce that dossier.
These people not only don’t know election law, they are grasping at straws.
Actually, it’s fun to watch

Clintons can get away with murder and they want to go after Trump for jaywalking if that.
I have seen a picture of Stormy from 12 years ago and she is definitely Not Guilty. Same goes for Trump.
Who is paying the whore to reopen her blackmail operation?
Oooops. My bad. I read the headline as ‘erection law.’
Keep in mind none of these accusations are designed to bring criminal charges against the President.
They’re attempts to shape public opinion so when/if the Democrats regain control of Congress, they can start impeachment proceedings.
This is all they got? Go big or go home.
Sounds like blackmail was involved.
Why hasn’t she been arrested?
I thought we learned from the Clinton Crime Family in 1992 that handling “bimbo eruptions” prior to and during elections and while in office was okay.
Wait, this woman claims to have had sex with Donald Trump, a multi billionaire and she settled for couch cushion change?
Who’s fault is that?
It makes her story sound, fake....
I would not be surprised Cohen has a slush fund just to pay off crazy idiots like this just so Trump and his businesses don’t have to waste time with nonsense lawsuits.
Lady calls and say she slipped and fell in the lobby of Trump Tower, sign these papers and we will send you 5 grand, magically she feels better and they didn’t have to waste money going back and forth with lawyers and judges, etc.
Just a thought.
“And if the money came from Cohen or anyone other than Trump himself, it would violate the $2,700 limit on individual contributions to a federal candidate.”
Stormy Davis was a federal candidate?
About this time last year, NBC “News” was going on about Comey and Russia, but not anything about this woman. Now that former has basically petered out, the latter is now making headlines. The media is pathetic, big time.
Well, I guess if that whole Russian thing is drying up, ya go with what ya have...
NEWSFLASH! Trump used his own money to get elected. How does that work into the accusation?
This is NOT what is normally considered a “campaign contribution,” and interpreting that way is a huge stretch.
