    Why is he even bothering with it? Having an affair is not illegal and this is not what this case is about.

    The case is about falsifying business records to cover another crime.

      Because selling bibles as the second coming of Jesus Christ seems to be working for him. His supporters love his fantasy world, he’s try to make himself seem even more “crucified for them.”

      I’m not convinced he knows what this case is about.

      Actually having an affair is illegal in some jurisdictions.

    So if he didn’t sleep with them, and these aren’t some sort of out of court settlement payments, what was he giving them the money for?

    I’m confused why not one believes him.

    The man hasn’t told a single lie in his life.

      Surely the man chosen by God himself to save the country from the evil Satanist cabal doesn’t lie constantly. /s

    I’m still confused as to what’s illegal about paying hush money?

      He’s not really being charged with hush money but how he gave the hush money. In simplistic terms he laundered money to not make it seem like he paid off a porn star. That’s what is illegal.

          Falsifying business records for the purposes of hiding campaign finance law violations.
