Giuliani’s statement that @realDonaldTrump reimbursed Cohen for the $130k payment to @StormyDaniels puts Trump on the hook for criminal violation of campaign finance laws. Violation is only criminal if knowing and willful. Trump reimbursement=Trump knowledge.
seemingly knowingly and willfully caused his campaign committee to file an incomplete disclosure report with the FEC—the committee didn’t disclosure the $130k “expenditure.”
This not only violates campaign finance law disclosure requirements, it also violates a criminal statute that prohibits making materially false statements to the federal government.
And the fact that Cohen was reimbursed by Trump does not eliminate Cohen’s knowing and willful (i.e., criminal) violation of the $2700 candidate contribution limit.
The Cohen violation occurred when Cohen took $130k from his home equity credit line and used it to pay Stormy. Trump’s reimbursement doesn’t un-ring that bell!
Once a prosecutor always a prosecutor, I guess. Giuliani just made the DOJ’s case against Trump and Cohen a whole lot stronger. Lol.
