Because if he did authorize it, are we to believe that Cohen paid that money out of his pocket as a donation? And didn’t get paid back? If he did get paid back, was it from Trump’s personal and/or business accounts? If so, he’s still in the clear. And to answer another poster, you can absolutely count that payment as a business expense. Trump has a brand to protect. Paying that hush money to protect the brand certainly qualifies as a business expense. So unless there is proof that Cohen paid it and never got paid back or proof that Trump paid it out of his campaign money, then this is a non-story.</p></blockquote><p></p>
