Meanwhile, the Trump campaign covered portions of attorney Cohen's legal bills, according to sources who spoke with ABC News:
Federal Election Commission records show three payments made from the Trump campaign to a firm representing Cohen. The “legal consulting” payments were made to McDermott Will and Emery — a law firm where Cohen's attorney Stephen Ryan is a partner — between October 2017 and January.
Cohen has said that he did not have a formal role in the Trump campaign, and it is illegal to spend campaign funds for personal use – defined by the FEC as payments for expenses “that would exist irrespective of the candidate's campaign or responsibilities as a federal officeholder.”
Surprise, surprise. The Trump campaign is on “shaky legal ground” according to experts.
