Michael Cohen's $130,000 Payment to Stormy Daniels

There is no doubt that they falsified business records with respect to the payment, which was $130,000 to Stormy Daniels. And then Donald Trump repaid him plus some fees through the Trump organization and wrote all of this off as legitimate business expenses when in fact it was not. So at a minimum, they're falsifying business records. In New York, however, they've decided to elevate this to felony. They're doing it by suggesting that this particular misdemeanor, what would have been a misdemeanor, was actually done in pursuance of concealing some grander crime,. specifically attaining high office and obscuring his misdeeds so that it doesn't cost him the high office.
