Trump's legal woes worsen

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Trump faces new legal troubles stemming from recent developments in the sprawling federal investigations into his associates and 2016 campaign.

It’s unclear what legal jeopardy, if any, Trump might be in, and long-standing Justice Department guidelines state that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

But the sentencing of former Trump attorney Michael Cohen and revelation that the parent company of the National Enquirer has turned state’s evidence establish clear links between the president and illegal actions his former allies say he directed.

Cohen and American Media Inc. (AMI) now say they made payments to a former Playboy model and adult-film actress to help Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, a move that federal prosecutors say was a campaign finance violation. The two women — Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels — allege they had extramarital affairs with Trump, and the government says he directed the payments with the intention of buying their silence in the weeks before Election Day.

Those new admissions conflict with Trump’s evolving explanations for the payments. The president earlier this year denied any knowledge of the arrangements but has said in recent days that the payments were legal.

With Cohen and Pecker, he'd be the third witness to Trump's criminal conspiracy to cover up his indiscretions and defraud the American electorate. Further, depending on the involvement of Trump Org., the officers of same , Trump's kids , could also be charged as criminal conspirators.
The prospect of his kids in pinstripes might provide the leverage needed to depose the Tangerine Traitor.

"Federal investigators are said to be probing the Trump Organization’s role in the payments, and they could acquire a valuable witness in Allen Weisselberg, its chief financial officer. He has worked for Trump for decades and was deeply involved in the president’s business practices.

Prosecutors reportedly struck an immunity deal with Weisselberg during the Cohen investigation, but it remains unclear what information, if any, he has provided to the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan."
