Mr. Trump will be the first former president to face criminal charges. The precise charges are not yet known, but the case is focused on a hush-money payment to a porn star during his 2016 campaign.
I think there’s a difference between paying someone for sex and paying someone to pay another person to keep quiet and then have accountants lie about it in the books
How is this any different from Musk paying random women to keep quiet about getting pregnant?
I don't see how it rises to a strong criminal case. Seems more like a personal thing. There's tons of things to get Trump on criminally, but it would implicate dems as well so they keep putting up these weak ass cases and keeping his name in the news.
Trump paid a sex worker. OMG the treason! :epsteingelion:
LMAO, right? It is fitting that a puritanical state would punish paying for sex work over punishing sexual assault
Even if he did pay the hush money bribe with campaign raised finances, this is the best they can get him on and not like motions hand everything.
Punishing anything else could be used to set a standard better than 'pay for sex with discretion'

It all depends on whether they can prove he did it with campaign funds. This is very similar to what took down John Edwards.
