The Stormy isn’t over for Donald, says report
President Trump — already implicated in campaign finance violations over a hush payment issued to porn star Stormy Daniels — likely committed other crimes by failing to disclose that payoff in his sworn financial disclosure last year, a new report reveals, according to government ethics experts.
A bombshell Wall Street Journal report published Friday corroborates in exhaustive detail Michael Cohen's guilty plea from earlier this year, which implicated Trump in committing campaign finance crimes by authorizing Cohen to pay Daniels $130,000 shortly before the 2016 election in exchange for her silence about allegedly having sex with the President over a decade ago.
However, the report also reveals previously unknown details about Trump's involvement and awareness of a scheme his corporate lawyer Allen Weisselberg set up to reimburse Cohen for the hush payment — which ethics experts say prove the President broke false statement laws since he willfully omitted that debt in his 2017 financial disclosure form.
