Rudy maintained that if part of the payment was personal then the entire payment could be treated as personal


within the first 8 minutes

But this was the ruling:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2018/12/14/trumps-claim-that-he-didnt-violate-campaign-finance-law-is-weak-dangerous/
Edwards repeatedly argued that the payments were not campaign contributions because they were not made exclusively to further his campaign. The judge rejected this argument as a matter of law, ruling that a payment to a candidate’s extramarital sexual partner is a campaign contribution if “one of” the reasons the payment is made is to influence the election.


So Rudy's whole defense on This Week was based on BS (what else is new ?)
