Trump Paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 to Stop Bad Press Getting Out About Him

Trump's great defense to this charge is I do this all the time. This is not about a campaign. I've got thousands of women. $2 over the years. The theory that you're giving yourself an illegal campaign contribution by paying someone hush money has never been accepted by any court, as far as I know.
