- The $130,000 payment from President Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, to Stormy Daniels in 2016 may have amounted to an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign.
- Despite Cohen's claim that he used his own money to silence Daniels, a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission told "60 Minutes" that Cohen's payments could be considered an "in kind contribution" well-above what he is legally allowed to give to the campaign.
- Special counsel Robert Mueller could use the payments as leverage over Cohen to extract information regarding his ties to Russia.
A $130,000 payment by President Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, to the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels may have amounted to an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign, according to Trevor Potter, former chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Cohen previously admitted he used his personal money to pay Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, to keep her from sharing details of an alleged 2006 affair with Trump. Cohen said the payment, which was made 11 days before the 2016 US presidential election, was a private transaction; he claimed that neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was involved. He also claimed he was never reimbursed for the money.
