This strikes me as something that could be useful to prosecutors who will need to prove that Trump's potential campaign finance violations in the Stormy Daniels hush money case were "knowing and willful"
That is, it's pretty reasonable to argue that someone who has had to defend themselves against past allegations of campaign finance misdeeds learned something about the finer details of the law in the process
And to be clear, this is just one of several examples that lend credence to the idea that Trump has a pretty good understanding of campaign finance laws: Trump was a major political donor, who formed multiple presidential exploratory committees
In so doing, he navigated federal and state campaign finance regulations, while also testifying and submitting sworn affidavits to state and federal regulators demonstrating his knowledge citizensforethics.org/press-release/… 
And of course, he just flat out said on national TV in 1999 that "Nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do."
