Trump, Hush Money and a Porn Star

[JP]

Didn’t this Mattress Actress lose a defamation cause of action to DJT, to the tune of $300K+ ?

Yet here we are.
Our country is in tatters, zero borders, Bidens proven China collusion, and here you are pissing/moaning about Trump?

No simply pointing out from a legal perspective, the case would be weak:
1)The mechanism to indict as a felony is problematic.
NY State has no jurisdiction over Federal election laws.
And the campaign was for a federal election, so NY State election laws would be moot.

2) The prime witness, Michael Cohen has been convicted of perjury.
In 2018, he plead guilty to lying to Congress.
It could be argued that the prime witness has a history of lying under oath, and is vindictive towards Trump. In March 2019, Cohen sued the Trump Organization to cover the $1.9 million in financial penalties plus an additional $1.9 million in his unpaid defense costs. He argued that the Trump Organization—which had already paid $1.7 million for his defense—had agreed to indemnify him.

3) There is no evidence that the hush money was a campaign expense.
It could be argued it was simply hush money so Trump's wife would not learn about the affair with a porn star.
