1) I don't know what you are talking about.

Well then, let me explain it better so you can understand it. Better yet, read about it on your own...

FEC Expert Witness Whose Testimony Merchan Denied Discloses What He Would Have Said in Trump Trial

Former Federal Election Commission Chairman Bradley Smith has revealed the testimony he would have given in former President Donald Trump's so-called "hush money" trial, had Judge Juan Merchan allowed it.

Smith was to testify for the defense earlier this week in the case brought by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, but Trump's attorneys decided to pull him when Merchan denied him the opportunity to address a question at the core of the case: Was the payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels a campaign contribution?

Keep in mind both the FEC and the Department of Justice had looked at the $130,000 payment made by then-Trump attorney Michael Cohen to Daniels and determined it wasn't, at least with regard to the 45th president.

However, as part of a 2018 plea agreement, Cohen said he was guilty of campaign finance violations, in addition to tax evasion and making false statements to a bank to secure a home equity loan, according to a news release from the DOJ.

The supposed campaign finance violation appears to be an add-on as part of the efforts to "get Trump." Legal experts, including Smith, don't even believe the payment constituted a campaign contribution.
