Coincidence? $130,000 Hush Money to Porn Star *** $130,000 campaign transfer

President Trump is accused of paying $130,000 in hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels to hide an affair a month before the election. In what is probably just a coincidence, the Trump campaign transferred $130K to the Trump businesses a month after the election.

That is so illegal.

Imagine if Bill Clinton was found to have created a shell company and then paid it $130K out of his campaign fund to then transfewr to Monica Lewinsky so she'd keep quiet. WTF?

This needs to be investigated immediately. If Congress were controlled by vertebrates instead of worms, this would be investigated right now.

If Stormy was paid one month before the election, what does this payment after the election have to do with it?

Order doesn’t matter. He used campaign funds to reimburse his company the exact amount they paid a porn star to keep quiet. It’s clear money laundering and misuse of funds.
